However, according to a message from the Windows 10 Feedback Hub, Microsoft will still do so at some point in the future. A Microsoft engineer wrote:
Thank you for your feedback on the convergence settings application and control panel, which is something we have been doing and will continue to do.
There is still some confusion about whether the control panel should disappear.
Some people think that this classic module should not be killed, because it is very handy to adjust Windows settings. Others think it is out of date, after all, there are more modern substitutes now.
In fact, many people’s mentality is like this:
Windows 10 was used because they were forced to upgrade from Windows XP or Windows 7.
These people are not necessarily the first adopters of Windows 10, whether for games, software compatibility or simple performance improvement.
If the advantages of the new system are not so obvious, or they are disgusted, these users will roll back to Windows 7 in minutes.
These users are very reluctant to leave the control panel. After all, habit is a very powerful thing.
As an important part of Windows 7, everyone has long been accustomed to the existence of the control panel. If they are forced to use a completely new setup application, it is hard to say that they will accept it all.
Although this is a more subjective choice, I think — — No matter which way Microsoft takes, it is still very important for the company to really accept an idea and devote itself to it.
The current situation is somewhat mixed for everyone — — There are some options in the control panel, while others are only listed in the settings app — — The news released in the feedback center emphasized how frustrating this is.
A netizen named Roy D. wrote in the feedback center:
Either leave the settings application or roll it back to the control panel! It is really inefficient to find the setting items in the clutter!
You can’t stuff everything in the settings application into the control panel and keep it efficient!
In the past few years, I haven’t seen any substantial improvement at all. Microsoft is making things worse and worse!
Changing for the sake of changing doesn’t make things better!
Obviously, this remark resonated with many people.
Microsoft must choose a strategy and implement it anyway. Transformation is difficult, but there is no doubt — — Repeated delays will only make users feel frustrated.
Windows 10 Redstone 5 update will come in the autumn of 2018, and it is expected that Microsoft will further promote this change.
