Probably the settings app which is there to replace the control panel of old. It's very dumbed down, and frequently has to launch cpls itself to allow you to do more complex things.
FYI you can still get the control panel, just hit windows key and type "control panel". (Note, it appears for me after just CON, so you probably won't have to type the whole word, depending on what you have installed)
- vetinari 10y agoControl panel and some of it's applets are available also by right-clicking the start menu. Since w8.1/2012r2, even.
- chrisper 10y agoThey removed that in the newest beta build. Now it has a menu option to the new settings app. Pretty stupid. They haven't even finished transferring everything yet.
- runjake 10y agoOr just hit 'WIN+x', then 'p' to bring up the Control Panel. WIN+x, e for Explorer WIN+x, c for CMD (but configurable to launch Powershell instead) WIN+x, r to bring up the Run dialog. And so on... Learn to love WIN+X+Key... until Microsoft takes it away or otherwise nerfs it.
- cobalt 10y agoseeing as how its a new (and advertised) power feature to windows 8, why would they nerf it?
