As others said -- "Control Panel" is the older UI being phased out, "Settings" is the new, unified one. And on Windows 11 it really does include 99% of what Settings had. There's only a few screens here and there for very specific, niche things that are still linked-to via Settings. (e.g.: Color Management -- you can select a color profile in Settings but you need the older "advanced" UI for manually importing ICCs and such. Colorimeters and monitor drivers auto-import ICCs.)
And "Start" has been gone for over 15 years. It transformed into the "Windows logo button" with Vista in 2006. The menu's naming was kept (and still is) but "Start" as text hasn't been a thing for a long time.

- smileybarry 4y agoYeah, that one is still stuck in power plan settings for some reason. But they’ve been moving to one “Balanced” plan for a while now so I guess that entire panel is going away.
