Windows 11 settings gain control panel features in 24H2
The Control Panel has been a part of Windows since Windows 1.0. However, as Windows 11 has reached more than half a billion devices, Microsoft is aiming to fine-tune the features in Windows 11 to achieve a more streamlined Windows experience.
Notably, Microsoft has been steadily migrating features from its traditional Control Panel to the modern Settings app for a while. With the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update, users can expect to see further integration of Control Panel functionalities into the Settings interface. The changes aim to enhance accessibility and convenience across various system settings.
Control Panel’s “Lid, power, and sleep button controls” are available in Settings in Windows 11 24H2
The forthcoming big update promises significant enhancements, particularly in the Power & Battery settings. Laptop users will reportedly gain greater control over power management with options to adjust “Lid, power, and sleep button controls” directly from the Settings app.
This means users can easily configure their device’s behavior upon closing the lid or pressing the power button. Users will be able to choose between sleep, hibernate, shut down, or no action. However, desktop users will see a slightly different interface, lacking the lid-related settings and hibernate option.
Additionally, Microsoft is focusing on refining the Display section within Settings, introducing Color Management options which previously you’d have to access from the Control Panel. This transition aims to provide users with a more intuitive and centralized approach to managing color profiles. It further streamlines the customization of display settings. However, Windows Latest notes that this transition is still under development and it may still open the legacy tool for now.
The “Delete this Storage pool” option appears in the Settings app
Another notable change noted in preview builds of Windows 11 24H2 is the inclusion of an option to “Delete this Storage pool” within the Settings app’s Storage Pool panel. Previously, users had to navigate through the Control Panel to access this functionality, but now it’s conveniently integrated into the Settings interface, simplifying storage management tasks.
The changes described above are currently limited to the Windows 11 24H2 preview builds and will likely arrive in the stable builds later this year. While these changes may seem incremental, they collectively contribute to the gradual phasing out of the Control Panel. It signals Microsoft’s vision of a more cohesive user interface.
