I always had trouble finding what I was looking for in Control Panel, but have had fewer issues with the Windows 11 settings app. I really hope they only kill Control Panel *well* after they port everything over, though, because even though they've done a decent job of making Settings more comprehensive, it still doesn't contain *everything* from Control Panel as a 1-to-1 copy.
Control Panel is a life saver after growing up on windows XP, moving to win 10/11 and then needing to change any settings ever. Because the settings menu is useless
@@TheGalacticVoid Control Panel seems unintuitive at first, but once you get to understand the system just a bit below the surface, it becomes incredibly useful. The new win11 settings are just awful for anything deeper than surface level. Just to begin, the fact that it's basically a 2 layer hierarchy means a bunch of settings are displayed close to each other that are in no way related, and there's no good way of sorting between them. It's also way too bulky and flashy, and I'd honestly hate to deal with it on a smaller screen. It's just too graphically demanding for no benefit whatsoever.
MS doesn't care anymore. That is abundantly clear. Control Panel was simple for what it is. Ridiculous. No other operating systems made it so complex to find and change simple system settings. I don't even bother with knowing where that shit is, I just use GOOGLE to find out what to do anymore. The settings app is like using a dictionary to look for words you don't know you wanted to look for when all along there was a better way to do it. I feel like I'm reading a multi-choice novel where I can choose to go to the wrong page and die.
As an IT technician, Microsoft, please go back to Control Panel. Managing printers on Windows 11 without being able to even open the printers menu in control panel anymore is SUCH A PAIN.

Funny thing Microsoft could just hide it be default so it can be turned then all normal people can just use settings while rest of us use the control panel

Right like they are doing this claiming to be for convenience when all they’re doing is making IT Techs like myself do more work or spend more time troubleshooting issues because I have to navigate the W11 UI. Personally I’m still on W10 on my personal computer, the more updates W11 has the worse and worse it gets…

This is GENUINELY dangerous. Most people who work in tech use the control panel, removing it will cause certain companies to straight up just slow down.
Ironically, the Control Panel is EASIER to navigate than the settings app! If I wanna find a specific thing and I don't know the name of it, I have to click through 1000 screens and half of them loop back to the same things. With control panel you get lots of specific groups that don't have weird looping menus and crap.
Don't forget everybody's favorite aspect of the settings app, half the menus you actually WANT to get to, are not a sidebar thing, but a BLUE TEXT LINK IN SMALL TEXT SO IT LOOKS UNIMPORTANT.

Control Panel is the best thing in Windows. The Settings app is terrible. Doesn't matter what they do, it will still be terrible. Control Panel forever!
The settings app suffers from all the ailments of modern design and on top of that runs like unoptimized shit, like everything UWP. Simultaneously it doesn't address the only real problem with the control panel, that being that some settings are only accessible after having opened 3 other windows to navigate towards it.

Microsoft didn't invent the word. It's been used in the industry for a while. I guess the snowflakes think "deprecating" or "shutting down" and especially the K word is too harsh.

Win 11 is actually really good now, coming from someone having used it since the first insider build came out. I rarely gave to open control panel, almost everything is in settings now, apart from advanced device settings which still use the old popup windows. But that's fine.
This is what happens when shareholders want permanent increasing profits and refuse to accept the boatloads of money they already get every second. Have to keep “innovating” even when there’s nothing to “innovate.” Gotta make up new problems so you can fix them later and claim you made things better
You see the problem isn't the shareholders actually. The problem is that in the US, companies are legally obligated to create as much profit for their shareholders as physically possible. Companies aren't legally obligated to care about their employees or their customers, but they are legally obligated to care about their shareholders, and that's it. And it really shows. That's why companies like Valve, which aren't publicly traded, are extremely successful. Valve doesn't have to care about shareholders because there are no shareholders. So instead, they focus their attention on their customers and employees. If most companies don't produce more profit than the last year, they can be held legally responsible for it.
The settings app is utterly useless and worse in every way. Who possibly signed off of this change. Just imagine really how many individual humans had to OK this change for it to actually happen. Have these people never used windows?
The problem is the people who “signed off” on this are the type to buy a computer, do there basic work meetings on and nothing else. They probably don’t even know what “control panel” is in windows, just a board room of execs.
My guess is those people probably using mac, they already infiltrates windows from the inside Lol just kidding... unless... Ps: no hate for other mac users
That's not just hyperbole; MS developers & other staff have commonly used Mac for _decades._ Remember when Windows Surface was a coffee table? The whole demo was produced on Mac machines, & the videos Surface was playing were .mov files played via QuickTime.
These companies need to learn the phrase: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.". The settings app is a nightmare to find what I need for specific tasks. Who is the buffoon that is making these decisions at Microsoft? As if Windows 11 wasn't bad enough as it is.

Audio is still shite sometimes tho
Onboard audio can be a nightmare in both Windows and Linux, I had a SoundBlaster USB DAC to solve it. I got a nice surprise when my AM5 motherboard's audio showed up as "USB Audio" though. That seems to work everywhere.
As a unified communications support agent, I use the Sound applet in the Control Panel multiple times a day! If that gets removed, it will make my job infinitely harder!
Yeah. Very annoying that the Settings app isn't on par with it anymore and you need to use silly things like "Change system sounds" to get to it now because everything else redirects to Settings.
Software companies should seriously start offering Linux versions for their professional apps. The only problem preventing me from switching yo Linux is unavailability of all important and mainstream productivity softwares

I've been growing increasingly sick of this company, and this might just end up being the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.
It’s rough. I love the simplicity of Windows, but Microsoft feel a need to squeeze more money out of us all. If it’s any consolation, Linux continues to get much better at pretty much everything. If you do end up switching I’d suggest PopOS, because it’s usable completely from gui (no terminal necessary once installed), works great out of the box, and the devs/community are super active.
No, it's not, because it will still be possible, they are just making it alot harder, as long as they don't remove the possibility to create the 'God mode folder' it's still be there. Just think of Apple computers, it's alot of things that is locked for the regular user
There is absolutely no EU law that says anything about being in "full control". Windows is just an operating system, which allows you to run 3rd party applications or even create your own. If Microsoft doesn't offer software out of the box, other developers remain free to develop whatever tools they want to make.
Its because they do not want you to own your system. To them you are more or less leasing it from them. Its only a matter of time before they try something like a subscription model being forced on you.
Yup! First Apple abandoned personal computing (went _all in_ on impersonal "our way or the highway" design, in fact), & then Microsoft started trying to copy all the worst aspects of Apple's design philosophy, with none of the benefits of rigidly standardized hardware.
Can wait to go into the shitty poorly interfaced settings app where I’ll never find the setting I need. Having to go into settings to mess with volume mixer already pissed me off
They figure that we've got nowhere to turn to if they put the squeeze on us, and they're often correct. There won't be a mass exodus of users to linux, (aside from a few like myself), so M$ can basically do whatever they feel like. Which they're starting to do.
They are chasing the mythical bigger market share. The problem they can not comprehend is that once a market settles, you have to have a massive innovation to shake up the market.
Thats something you might want to be careful with, "gaming distros" are very much a hit or miss as they focus too much on bases that are technically for more advanced users like Arch, which may cause some issues from a user experience standpoint. With the exception being SteamOS as it has already been proven to be relatively hassle free. However, Linux Mint or ZorinOS might be a better place to go as they designed for a wider range of desktop use cases, are based on Ubuntu so your software and driver support will in more cases than Arch be made and upkept by official sources and there more of them and are as easy to install as a .exe. And the performance differect isnt all that different as the main thing that makes linux performance so good in games is due to DXVK, Proton, and Vulkan, which are supported by all modern distros, but thats just my advise
@@pelehosmusic I've honestly had more issues with Mint on my laptop than the Steam OS/Arch my Steam Deck uses. I really love how useful Ark and the KDE apps are which are already on the Steam Deck.

The only downside is new program support, but I really don't need to/can run any modern software, the only thing I need is a good web browser (newest version of Opera works fine). Another "Issue" is security, but I don't download suspicious files or keep any crucial information on my PC so it's fine.

It's also way too bulky and flashy, and I'd honestly hate to deal with it on a smaller screen. It's just too graphically demanding for no benefit whatsoever.

Yeah it will be a long while before they do that, fun story:
Microsoft changed the network settings panel from the control panel to the settings menu, they had to switch it back to the control panel menu because their own IT couldn't troubleshoot their own networking issues......
Right like they are doing this claiming to be for convenience when all they’re doing is making IT Techs like myself do more work or spend more time troubleshooting issues because I have to navigate the W11 UI. Personally I’m still on W10 on my personal computer, the more updates W11 has the worse and worse it gets…
@FireAngelZero guarantee 95% of IT staff seeing this announcement just groaned in agony at the control panel loss.
LMAOO happy to hear they are suffering from their own grift
@@TechZeroGamer I'm not even IT staff and I was groaning.... I love control panel and hate the settings menu. The settings menu is just there as a filler in which you can't really do anything. Control panel on the other hand is glorious. Have it standard on my task bar!
Glad to know that they're actually literally shooting themselves in the foot and it's funny
Seriously
The more they lock users out of the settings were familiar with and force us to use the half baked tools that don't give us the information we want
The more I seriously think about jumping ship and learning to use another operating system
This is GENUINELY dangerous. Most people who work in tech use the control panel, removing it will cause certain companies to straight up just slow down.
This is why a lot of military equipment still runs windows xp
@@Tinhead426 XP was peak, Microsoft could of stopped there for me
@@Clara_Page I think 7 was fine. XP was still missing a search bar in the start menu. Everything else was fine (and it didn't run on 64bits)
True
I feel Chris Titus making a printer app in his power shell app.
Ironically, the Control Panel is EASIER to navigate than the settings app! If I wanna find a specific thing and I don't know the name of it, I have to click through 1000 screens and half of them loop back to the same things. With control panel you get lots of specific groups that don't have weird looping menus and crap.
Don't forget you can't even search for it
Don't forget everybody's favorite aspect of the settings app, half the menus you actually WANT to get to, are not a sidebar thing, but a BLUE TEXT LINK IN SMALL TEXT SO IT LOOKS UNIMPORTANT.
Omg yes the looping is the worst.
And also the links that go outside of the settings app and open some website over the edge browser that no one likes
@@club311gaming yeah dude they need to just, not get rid of control panel.
Yes Sir!
*The Settings app was introduced with Windows 8 in 2012.* What baffles me is that, 12 YEARS later, the Control Panel still exists and Microsoft is still in the process of migrating functions to the Settings app. Absurd.
Not just that. The control panel is STILL by far the superior application for changing settings
@@fryball1443 The fact the Settings was introduced already incomplete was already unexcusable. Yes, Control Panel is more useful but it still a cumbersome and outdated design. I think people used to it more than it is good design.
Either way, every user here knows exactly what they need, but MS haven't found a way to give its userbase a good coherent, modern and unified interface to control their OS.
It is a testament of MS laziness that Windows is fossil site of old UI elements.

@@DeadCat-42 Quite frankly my criticism was about, after 12 years MS still not having *a solution, whatever it is. Let alone a good one, whatever it is.*
To me it is a testament of MS's laziness that a UI introduced with Vista (2006) still half exists because it is needed by so many and MS still sloooowly migrating functions to a Setting app first introduced with Win8 (2012).
I do not buy the idea that Control Panel is good design. To me, it is just something got used to because of offers *functions they need.* And those *functions* can and should exist in a better UI.

I remember when tech companies were innovative and made their products better.

This is why FOSS is king. The software mostly gets better, because there’s little to no profit motive. If it does get worse, you can stick with an old version or fork the project to make a new one.
all tech companies take apple as a role model in future every system will be the same with no diversity
Captive audience. They are so confident that no one will want to disrupt their OS environment so they've lost all touch with user opinion. Same shit with cable TV and internet companies
This is what happens when companies have no competition, they keep buying any potential rival companies that they don't need to innovate because there's no one for them to compete with

until you realize that linux isn't an operating system for everyone
it has it's own downsides and many people aren't going to bother with it due to lack of support on most popular/professional softwares like adobe and other tools (which in return, could make the consumer's experience either unable to use the tool and having to use an alternative (which is probably not what they want), or use some compability layer like wine and bang your head on the wall for the next 36 hours due to an extreme obscure bug).

This is what happens when shareholders want permanent increasing profits and refuse to accept the boatloads of money they already get every second. Have to keep “innovating” even when there’s nothing to “innovate.” Gotta make up new problems so you can fix them later and claim you made things better
You see the problem isn't the shareholders actually.
The problem is that in the US, companies are legally obligated to create as much profit for their shareholders as physically possible.
Companies aren't legally obligated to care about their employees or their customers, but they are legally obligated to care about their shareholders, and that's it.
And it really shows.
That's why companies like Valve, which aren't publicly traded, are extremely successful. Valve doesn't have to care about shareholders because there are no shareholders.
So instead, they focus their attention on their customers and employees.
If most companies don't produce more profit than the last year, they can be held legally responsible for it.

Watching these changes after switching to linux feels like smelling a gas leak and getting out of there before it explodes
I like how my Linux system never actively tries to hide something from me, never has an opinion on what software i should use and when to update it, has pretty much all the tooling required for my job and encourages power users as opposed to making my life harder by installing random roadblocks everywhere
And I don't even really know how to use or install Linux, everything is done with the standard "next > next > install > finish" GUI flow and I don't really ever need to delve into forums for fixes for my system: modern distros are very reliable.

Software companies should seriously start offering Linux versions for their professional apps.
The only problem preventing me from switching yo Linux is unavailability of all important and mainstream productivity softwares
It's a chicken and egg problem. They won't until Linux has enough of a market share for them to perceive a profit opportunity. The good news is not everyone has that need, and Linux is still steadily gaining popularity.

Only way Linux can actually be useful if it was user-friendly and was compatible with the majority of apps from the get go.
I've been using Windows OS since Windows 95, but if they actually remove the control panel and don't give us other ways to do what we could with that, I think I'm done. I've been growing increasingly sick of this company, and this might just end up being the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.
It’s rough. I love the simplicity of Windows, but Microsoft feel a need to squeeze more money out of us all. If it’s any consolation, Linux continues to get much better at pretty much everything. If you do end up switching I’d suggest PopOS, because it’s usable completely from gui (no terminal necessary once installed), works great out of the box, and the devs/community are super active.

@@GeraltofRivia22 you may be referring to external control but it is still possable
There is absolutely no EU law that says anything about being in "full control". Windows is just an operating system, which allows you to run 3rd party applications or even create your own.

Thats something you might want to be careful with, "gaming distros" are very much a hit or miss as they focus too much on bases that are technically for more advanced users like Arch, which may cause some issues from a user experience standpoint. With the exception being SteamOS as it has already been proven to be relatively hassle free. However, Linux Mint or ZorinOS might be a better place to go as they designed for a wider range of desktop use cases, are based on Ubuntu so your software and driver support will in more cases than Arch be made and upkept by official sources and there more of them and are as easy to install as a .exe. And the performance differect isnt all that different as the main thing that makes linux performance so good in games is due to DXVK, Proton, and Vulkan, which are supported by all modern distros, but thats just my advise
@@pelehosmusic I've honestly had more issues with Mint on my laptop than the Steam OS/Arch my Steam Deck uses. I really love how useful Ark and the KDE apps are which are already on the Steam Deck.

As for Mint idk how youve had those issues as literally every device i have installed it on with personal computers and computers for other people, these issues have not been present, as for trouble shooting all my issues could be solved with a one and done command, so im sorry to hear you had issues with a particular driver
sounds more like a hardware compatibility issue rather than a linux issue
@pelehosmusic oh yeah it's definitely a skill issue and a wrong part on my end (I didn't think to check the actual chip that much lol) but it's same kind of thing lol.
What the hell. I use this thing almost daily. Companies be really trying to find out who can earn the stupid trophy fastest.
*MICROSOFT IS TAKING THE LEAD!* 🎉
I’m old enough to remember when “paint” was essentially a computer game to most people.
I used paint 3d as one to. I’m sad to see it go
I feel like my old history teacher in the late 90s who would not stop using DOS.
Linux is fine, it will be fine, but 30+ years of windows experience going away is really shitty.
Oh hey, I still use DOS too!
My IBM P/S2 286 still runs without a hiccup, & does _only_ what I command; no background processes!
Not sure why I'd ever "upgrade", frankly?
Dude paint 3D is actually so good
What did you use it for?
@@lambdaboy9999idk what it's used for, but I use the 3d objects directory to store corn
Better than some Adobe program?
@@chady51better no, but simple in basic tasks & much much......faster & Free there's that.
@@chady51 Well it's not Adobe so it wins by default.
I started using windows 7 instead of 10, the reason being it better supports my 2016 laptop. And I gotta say, it's really wonderful. Everything is so much easier, no bloatware, no stupid online features, no slowdown, it is a joy to use! The only downside is new program support, but I really don't need to/can run any modern software, the only thing I need is a good web browser (newest version of Opera works fine). Another "Issue" is security, but I don't download suspicious files or keep any crucial information on my PC so it's fine. And for people saying that hackers can spy on the PC in the background, Microsoft does that already in newer windows XD. Overall, I'm happy with this setup.
I wish I could keep using Windows 7 with as much confidence as you do
Why do companies purposefully ruin good things it’s like dealing with a narcissist boss that can’t keeps things flowing like they were and have to keep changing things around and making things worse because they want everyone doing it their way when you could do it the way you’ve done it forever and it’ll work better
Cool, can’t wait for it to be reorganized and buggy. What an improvement!
We switching to Linux with this one 🗣️‼️‼️‼️
You will feel better for doing so.
As a 3d designer and illustrator this is a sign to jump ship. Lenux is looking reeeaal good.
It’s worth it. PopOS is super user-friendly, and the devs are constantly improving it. That’s what I’d suggest. CAD software is kinda lacking, but I use Blender with the MeasureIt extension, which does well enough for my purposes.
There’s not really a good alternative to Illustrator afaik. Inkscape is alright, but a totally different user experience.
You won't regret it.
That make sense, because I never knew when use settings or control panel in windows, I don’t know who make windows settings when control panel exists.
all of the sudden I have this weird urge to make an operating system
You can try
make a linux-based one
If a border guard told me I need a microsoft account to pass, I'd quit RuneScape.
Farming is such a chill skill
Aw hell no. I'm fine with a lot of things, but don't mess with the control panel.
When “Software” became “Apps” years ago I know more was to come.
Paint 3D being retired is more devastating than you'd think!! I use it for art nearly all the time and many of my friends and other artists do too, it's an art program with functionality you dont get out of nearly any other art program
If anything, user activity for it has been at its highest and it's such a stupid decision at now of all times!
I'm glad some people have been putting in the effort to archive it (shout-out to my friend sylvia) but it's so disappointing to have this happen
I guess we have to just move all our projects to Blender.
Meanwhile, they're "sunsetting" Paint3D while retaining the _old_ Paint app which hasn't been updated in decades; they literally cannot be bothered to provide a worthwhile image editor.
I prefer _not_ to install 3rd party apps for potentially trivial tasks, thanks?
@@prophetzarquon1922 not that I’ve used it much but doesn’t Blender have some usefulness even if trivial?
Also I’m not surprised because business do what they want and not the people.
They’re their own dictators.
The control panel is the only easy way to access all the settings. I wish Microsoft to not become Apple
It already feels like it. Just as with my iPad doing the easiest tasks in windows 11 takes me forever because it doesn't make any fckng sense. In fact windows pisses me off so much I'm running Ubuntu on a virtual machine on my company laptop to get work done. On windows I only use teams and outlook...
you say this, while completely ignoring how macos works
MacOS is fine _underneath,_ but Apple's persistent "obfuscation is convenience" UX philosophy, is the absolute worst thing happening to Windows right now.
@@prophetzarquon1922 MacOS is not obfuscated. Not at THAT level.
yeah it has some minor changes you can do only via terminal but those are things normal user don't bother changing in the first place.
Everything a person needs in setting and file explorer.
@@niklasholgerson3779 Yes. I use Linux Mint for some importand non-windows projects
That’s why we need to switch to Linux as a society
As an IT technician, I use the Control Panel for many tasks. It’ll be so sad to see it go.
