The North American firm will launch a future update that will reduce the capacity of this tool
A few weeks ago we learned that Microsoft still maintains a “temporary” function that premiered in 1994. Although it may seem incredible, the North American firm has not yet said goodbye to a tool for formatting the disk that, in short, has been present for the last few years. 30 years. However, in a diametrically opposite direction, it seems that we are experiencing the last phases of a function that has amazed users for even more decades.
As reported by the French portal JeuxVideo in a recent publicationone of Microsoft’s main plans is retire Control Panel. For 40 years, this tool has been perfect for viewing parameters of the computer. However, the arrival of Windows 11 has caused this tool to lose steam and, therefore, its importance is set aside in favor of a much more general option: the tab Setting.
He will not say goodbye suddenly
The next one is marked in red on Microsoft’s roadmap. autumn. This is because on that date it will debut the 24H2 version of Windows 11, an operating system update that will introduce several improvements.

However, it is worth mentioning that there will be many teams that can’t update to Windows 11 24H2 for various reasons. Among these, for example, is the incompatibility with some Intel or AMD processors, an aspect to which we must add that if you have certain external tools (to modify the taskbar or change the OS interface) it will not be possible either. leap.
