I think you'd see that Microsoft gets this. Win8 was all dupes. Initial Win10 release removed most of the dupes and they've removed more with each Win10 release. The strategy is pretty clear - incremental rewrite based on what people use.
- Dylan16807 7y agoThey've been removing things? The last change I noticed was the addition of a new duplicate control panel for sound.
- pas 7y agoThis means the old one is deprecated and will be eventually removed. The problem is, for some reason the presentation is tightly coupled/tied to the data model of the settings. Otherwise there would be no need to have 2 versions of it. Which is OOP no-no 101. Shrug. Corporate IT.
- will4274 7y agoThe TPM menu - if the legacy UX is still around, I can't find it on the latest Win10. Looking through the deprecation notes, it looks like some language settings were de-duped in a 10 update https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/planning/windows-10-1803-removed-features https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/planning.... It's slow work. Microsoft has gotten more aggressive about change compared to ten years ago, but they are still very conservative. Users don't like it when the UX changes.
