I echo your sentiment in these regards. It is much easier to do certain tasks in Control Panel (Networking and Power Options being the two biggest examples of this in my opinion), while other things are easier in Settings.
I think the real problem is that Microsoft hasn't place enough focus on getting the Settings app correct from a UI/UX perspective like Apple did with their Settings app. There's nothing technical preventing them from offering a streamlined experience in Settings that allows you to easily configure advanced settings when necessary. It's just design effort on their part.
If they can get their Settings app to the point where nobody wants to use Control Panel anymore, then that's the right time to deprecate it.
- philistine 2y agoMicrosoft can’t get any lesson from Apple and its own switch because the fundamental strategy is different. Apple completely changed its app in one go. There was no plan B, no deprecation. For this reason, the app is not has pristine as it should, with a ton of sections simply brought over without changes. Microsoft being Microsoft, they’ve chosen to inflict decades of juggling two apps on their users, with poor results.
