Microsoft isn’t removing the Control Panel from Windows anytime soon

Microsoft isn’t removing the Control Panel from Windows imminently. After inaccurate reports, Microsoft has updated its support documents.

You may have read headlines last week about Microsoft removing the Control Panel from Windows soon, but the death of the Control Panel has been greatly exaggerated. The inaccurate reports stemmed from a single support document, originally spotted by Neowin. Microsoft has now updated the support document to make it clear that Control Panel isn’t in danger of being removed from Windows anytime soon.

“Many of the settings in Control Panel are in the process of being migrated to the Settings app,” says Microsoft. I asked the company to comment on the original support note and the updated one, but Microsoft hasn’t provided The Verge with a statement in time for publication. Either way, Microsoft has been moving more Control Panel settings over to the Settings interface in recent months.
