Windows redesign

Microsoft introduced the current modern UI Settings app almost a decade ago in Windows 8. It said the Control Panel would stick around until the new Settings app was fully developed.

So, we waited, and we waited… and we waited. Here we are in , Windows 10 has been out for five years, and Windows still has two settings apps. Windows 10 tries to direct you to the modern Settings app whenever possible, but almost none of the advanced features work in Settings. If you want to control power profiles, modify network properties, or manage your local storage hardware, you have to use the traditional Control Panel-style settings.

The new redesign will allegedly address this annoyance with a new Settings app that actually has all the features from the classic Control Panel. The other textboxes like — password, AutoSuggest and alerts — will get also rounded corners to improve overall UI consistency. However, Microsoft is also believed to be working on other features, such as a new battery monitor , Aero Shake toggle , dedicated web camera settings , and more. Before version 21H2, Microsoft is planning to release version 21H1 update, which is going to be a minor affair with security improvements.
