Back in 2014, we observed Microsoft's struggle to merge the Control Panel with the new PC Settings app in Windows, resulting in a fragmented experience where certain settings like network forgetting and IP changes were split between two interfaces. A decade later, this integration effort continues with recent updates migrating key features such as clock settings, time servers, time and currency formatting, UTF-8 language support toggle, keyboard character repeat delay, and cursor blink rate to the Settings app. Additionally, the Phone Link section of the Start Menu now supports viewing a wider range of mobile app notifications, enhancing user convenience.
