Microsoft’s support page titled ‘System configuration tools in Windows’ recently said that the Control Panel is in the process of being deprecated in favor of the Settings app. However, after a modicum of online backlash, it seems that Microsoft has backtracked on its words, as the document has since been updated.
The original statement under the Control Panel section said, “The Control Panel is in the process of being deprecated in favor of the Settings app, which offers a more modern and streamlined experience.” This was what it said on the support page as late as 9 pm on August 23, 2024. But just a few hours later, at around 1 am on August 24, 2024, this sentence was updated to, “Many of the settings in Control Panel are in the process of being migrated to the Settings app, which offers a more modern and streamlined experience.”
