Since the debut of Windows 8 in 2012, Microsoft has been eager to replace the aged Control Panel with the newer Settings app, but users still depend on Control Panel.
Microsoft's support document indicates Control Panel is being deprecated, but cautions users that it remains for legacy compatibility and certain settings yet to migrate to Settings.
The transition from Control Panel to the Settings app has been gradual, with Microsoft moving tools over the years but leaving some functionalities still reliant on Control Panel.
Many users, despite Microsoft’s push towards Settings app usage, still find themselves relying on Control Panel for specific features and troubleshooting tasks, indicating a complex transition.
