Microsoft is continuing its efforts to move more settings from Control Panel to the Settings app. The company has just released a preview build of Windows 11 and repositioned the section used for uninstalling Windows Updates to the Settings app now. With the latest update, Control Panel now redirects to Windows Settings when a user tries to open the Programs and Features section. The Control Panel was part of Windows since its initial launch. In the previous update also, the tech giant shifted advanced sharing settings including Network discovery, File and printer sharing, and public folder sharing to a new page in the Settings app under Advanced Network Settings.
Microsoft on Wednesday announced the release of Windows 11 insider preview build 22523 to the Dev Channel. In the blog post, the company outlined the changes of the latest version. The most notable change is that the links to Programs and Features in Control Panel will now open in Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Also, the company said that it is moving Uninstall Updates (for cumulative updates, etc.) from Control Panel to a new page in Settings under Settings > Windows Update > Update History.
Windows 11 build 22523 also brings some other minor changes. Snap Groups are now available for all insiders in the Alt + Tab menu. Additionally, File Explorer shows media server options in the menu on the toolbar. Build 22523 is the last update in the Windows insider program in 2021, said Microsoft. It is available to download as an ISO file on the official website.
Earlier, in the preview build 22509 released on December 1, Microsoft announced that it has shifted the advanced sharing settings (such as Network discovery, File and printer sharing, and public folder sharing) to a new page in the Settings app under Advanced Network Settings. Also, entry points for network and devices settings in Control Panel started to redirect to the corresponding pages in Settings.
It also added changes to the device-specific pages under Printers and Scanners in Settings to show more information about the user's printer or scanner directly in Settings when available
Microsoft has recently made available build 22523 for Windows 11 as the last preview of the year for devices enrolled in the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program, which includes several improvements and fixes expected to arrive in the next feature update.
For example, in this rollout, the company continues porting Control Panel features to the Settings app, adds tweaks to File Explorer, and expands newly developed experiences to all testers.
In addition, since our last preview roundup for build 22504 and earlier releases, Microsoft also made available two other previews with various significant changes. For instance, build 22518 introduced Spotlight collection for the desktop, weather information for the Widgets icon in the Taskbar, and Voice Access, a new experience to control Windows 11 with only your voice. And build 22509 provided some significant visual changes, such as new settings to customize the "Recommended" items in Start. It also brought back the clock on all monitors for the Taskbar and Settings improvements
