Two steps forward, one step backward
Microsoft putting more development time into the Control Panel is a surprising move as they have been making a coordinated effort to port existing Control Panel applets to the modern Windows 10 Settings feature.

In a blog post by Microsoft last year, Windows Insider Program Manager Brand LeBlanc announced Microsoft's goal was to align the Windows 10 Settings more closely to the legacy Control Panel.

"There will be more improvements coming that will further bring Settings closer to Control Panel. If you rely on settings that only exist in Control Panel today, please file feedback and let us know what those settings are," Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Program Manager of the Windows Insider Program, shared in a blog post.

Microsoft showed this later in the month when they began testing an automatic redirect from the System control panel to the About Settings page, marking what was believed to be the first step to the Control Panel's end.

Other transitions from the control panel to Windows Settings include a modern Disk Management tool, updates to the Windows 10 Settings include a modern Disk Management Tool, new refresh rate settings, and updated battery settings.

For this reason, it is a bit confusing as to why Microsoft would focus on updating an existing control panel rather than porting it to a new Windows 10 Settings page.


Why on earth mess with the control panel in first place? The new modern Windows 10 Settings page is a disaster and should never ever been implemented!! Probably the worst in the whole OS outside the worse and worse performance for each new main update. This is Microsoft today...
