The Classic Control Panel In Windows May Be Gone

Posted by timothy on from the good-riddance-or-sorely-missed dept.

jones_supa writes In Windows 8, there was an arrangement of two settings applications: the Control Panel for the desktop and the PC Settings app in the Modern UI side. With Windows 10, having the two different applications has started to look even more awkward, which has been voiced loud and clear in the feedback too. Thus, the work at Microsoft to unify the settings programs has begun. The traditional Control Panel is being transformed to something temporarily called "zPC Settings" (sic), which is a Modern UI app that melts together the current two settings applications.

    Right, because the handful of crappy games on Steam for Linux are sufficient for those of us who enjoy gaming, and Macs aren't overpriced shiny crap.

    Don't get me wrong. I use Linux to do much of my actual work, but Windows is still the best option for a gaming environment.

    Even worse. I RDP'ed into a Server the other day and nobody, even those running Windows 8 on their laptops could figure out how to do a "log out" on the server.

    Then you're a fucking moron. Click the account icon and then click "Sign Out".
    Do you also need me to tell you how to shutdown a box that you've connected to over RDP?
