The question of whether Settings is good enough to get rid of Control Panel is an interesting one. This isn't going to be a near-term change - Windows Central thinks it'd be H1 2021 at the earliest, and that was before Covid-19 screwed up everyone's everything. All these feature IDs are disabled in the latest public builds, but they do exist, suggesting that Microsoft is testing it internally. These feature IDs are HideSystemControlPanel, SystemControlPanelFileExplorerRedirect, and SystemControlPanelHotkeyRedirect. Windows Central writes (Opens in a new window): There are Feature IDs in the latest build of Windows 10 that would replace or redirect current Control Panel traffic back to the Settings application.
According to Windows Central, that could be about to change. Over the last eight years, it's slowly become more functional and has subsumed more of Control Panel's capabilities. In the beginning, the new Settings menu was a joke. Original story below:Įver since Windows 8, Microsoft has shipped two methods of changing system settings. Clearly Microsoft has more work to do before it can kill off the old-fashioned standard. As Jim Salter points out at Ars Technica (Opens in a new window), however, there are definitely still some functions that MS needs to move over to Settings before it sunsets the System applet out of CP. As of this writing, only the "System" applet appears to be impacted.
Update (): More information has come to light on the specifics of what MS is changing.
