It's okay, but I wish they'd go back to having one Control Panel instead of two that are sort of the same but not quite.
The update changes the start menu to make things more accessible. I have one computer that has the upgrade and one that doesn't, and it is an improvement.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

With the frequent updates W10 does always seem to be a work in progress but I suppose that's good in a way as we all have to wrestle with outdated and legacy software on client sites. Perhaps this shift to twice yearly major Windows OS upgrades (and Office 365 too) will change things in the years to follow.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostIt's okay, but I wish they'd go back to having one Control Panel instead of two that are sort of the same but not quite.

As for the control panel the main problem is there is a tonne of legacy control panel settings out there written by 3rd parties as well as Microsoft so there is going to be two control panels/location for settings for some time to come.Comment
