Windows 10: New Windows 10 Settings uninstall view - better than previous version?

I'm failing to see how... newer is supposed to be better, but the view on the right seems to do the same thing yet shows way less info:





Can someone explain to me how the new way is better?

It appears to also require more scrolling and more clicks to see the same info and do the same things (or some features were just removed)... maybe this is great on a dinky tablet but I don't use Windows tablets (I don't know anyone that does) and Microsoft made it more difficult to get to Control Panel even on desktop than Settings due to not having Control Panel be one of the folders you can add to the Start menu left-side shortcuts like they allow with Settings. :/ really miffed at some design decisions here (just recently upgraded from 7)

You can add Control Panel to right click Context menu - How to Add or Remove Control Panel context menu in Windows 10.

This way you never have to search for it, just right click on desktop and choose Control Panel *Wink

It would be perfectly fine to use the old view if you only use desktop apps. However if you also use apps from the Microsoft Store, only Settings will be able to show these Store apps.

I believe that there will always be a 'Control Panel' but as more and more settings are being integrated into 'Settings' I can't say how long 'Programs and Features' will last for. That being said, 'Add/Remove Windows Features' is still a Control Panel option.

At the moment the Apps in Settings I believe are OK. There could be more changes with regarding the presentation, such as giving more viewing options. Which is currently only supported in the explorer view. It will be interesting to see how future updates affect the way we view and uninstalls desktop/apps.

I would suggest trying to adapt to the new list in Settings as Microsoft seems to be trying to phase out Control Panel.

There are many crucial links to the Panel, so it will take a long amount of time before it is completely gone.
