Control Panel accessed from the desktop in Windows 8 is the normal Control Panel from previous Windows versions.
Tried searching for control panel in the start menu and it launch the desktop control panel for me in 8.1
- wldcordeiro 11y agoIf I remember right it's because the Metro app was called "Settings" but the control panel still existed as well. I would always just do Win+E then click on the control panel icon in the ribbon.
- reedlaw 11y agoI was trying to uninstall something and I hit the Super key and started typing "programs" and up came some Metro app that showed a few apps sorted by size. It didn't show all installed programs. For that I had to find the old Add/Remove Programs control panel which has a regular desktop interface.
