Windows 10 continues to improve the settings page to help control panel migration users adapt to the new interface


Windows 10 is still equipped with the familiar control panel, of course, it mainly uses the Windows 8 era settings application to adjust system settings, including additional customization features. However, since the relocation of the control panel is a huge project that has not been completed so far, users still need to look for many options in the control panel.

Like the control panel, the Windows 10 settings application is divided into multiple categories-system, device, personalization, etc. Users can click on these categories to find the options you want, or search from the search bar at the top of the window. Based on the references found in the preview, it looks like Microsoft is developing some new features for the settings application. Microsoft is slowly moving the control panel page to the settings app, which may confuse some people, especially when they can't find the page/option in the control panel.

To speed up the migration process, the Windows 10 update will introduce a new section "This page has some new settings" to highlight the settings that have just been migrated from the control panel. This will make it easier for users to find the pages to be migrated so that they have one less worry.

Microsoft also seems to plan to "merge" some pages to reduce clutter in the "Settings" application. For example, the power and battery settings will be merged into a new page called "Power and Battery" for short. The first group configures screen timeout settings, while the second group monitors battery usage. The same page can also change the sleep settings, it still includes "additional power settings", you can open the power options control panel.

It seems that the "additional power settings" of the control panel have not yet completed the conversion, and will not appear in the settings application.

The webcam is one of the tools configured through the control panel in Windows 10. It has always been difficult. To solve this problem, Microsoft is testing a new dedicated camera settings page, which will serve as the central hub for camera hardware adjustments.

As you can see from the screenshot above, the settings app will list all the internal and external cameras in the system and allow you to adjust options such as brightness and contrast.
