Farewell the famous Windows Control Panel: Microsoft decides to remove it
Microsoft has just announced that the Windows Control Panel has reached the end of its life. The news did not surprise any users, as Microsoft has made many updates to the Windows 11 interface, and of course, this step is one of the most radical for the company.

The Control Panel has been integrated into Windows for 39 years. The usefulness of this configuration space has diminished over the years, being a practically useless partition except in rare cases. This situation seems to be the reason behind Microsoft's decision to bet on its side.
The announcement made by Microsoft through a post on its official blog indicates that the Control Panel has been neglected because users have access to a more modern control system, which is the Windows Settings menu.
Despite this announcement, Microsoft has not provided a specific date on which the Control Panel will cease to exist. The company has announced that its plans will be known in the coming months.
Not all users may accept this change, and the Control Panel has been with users for decades. Also, some people are used to making adjustments from this section instead of accessing Settings.
Now we just have to wait and see how this change evolves over the next few months. Everything indicates that Microsoft will take its time when removing the Control Panel. Most likely, when they make this change, they will wait for a public update of Windows 11.
