Win11 control panel will disappear completely

Is the control panel about to retire from the stage of history? In recent years, Microsoft has continuously integrated control panel functions into settings, aiming to guide users to gradually adapt to the use of settings. Later this year, when you open font settings in Control Panel (Control Panel Appearance and Personalize Fonts), you will automatically jump to the font options in Settings (Settings > Personalization > Fonts). Does this mean control panels will disappear altogether? PHP editor Shinichi believes that the answer is no. Microsoft's move is intended to cultivate users' habits of using settings, rather than completely abolishing the control panel. For more detailed information, please continue reading below.

Win11 settings already have a modern font management interface comparable to the control panel, but the "Fonts" function in the control panel still exists and can be opened through the search function (Control Panels > Appearance & Personalization > Fonts). However, Microsoft plans to "fix" this problem in a future update, and the "Fonts" function in the Control Panel will jump directly to the "Fonts" page in Settings. In other words, users will no longer be able to access the legacy Fonts settings through Control Panel or the search function.

Although some users may not like the modern interface, the "Font" function in the settings already contains all the functions of the old version, so there is no difference in practicality.

Currently, Microsoft has provided a temporary workaround. Users can continue to access the old version of "Fonts" settings by opening File Explorer and navigating to the "C:WindowsFonts" folder. The "Fonts" page in settings also provides a shortcut link to open the folder, allowing users to continue using the classic interface they are accustomed to during the transition phase.

However, when I open the old "Font" settings through File Explorer, the system will pop up a prompt: "This page is being separated from the Font settings in the Control Panel. For more font settings, please go to Settings Fonts page in the app ”
