    W10 Creator Edition (Version 1703) Control Panel finally GONE


    Hi folks

    Not sure if it's just on my system (1703 Creators edition - X-64) the control panel has finally been retired off the menu -- some of the more obscure items such as system, Disk management, Device manager, computer management and power shell (both admin and non admin) are now on main menu (right mouse click on the Windows symbol on the task bar).

    Fine by me -- also smoothest and easiest update I've ever done --switch off most of the privacy settings and simply skip sign in with Ms account to carry on with a local account.

    I've turned off the voice settings on Cortana etc -- what is it these days that everybody seems to want to shout at devices -- there's enough noise around already or is it that people have so little REAL contact with people now that the only way they use their vocal cord is to yell at some in animate objects.

    Otherwise good update Ms --Easiest one ever --running on a VM via UPGRADE ASSISTANT from W10. Will also see if it's possible to do a brand new CLEAN install if I can get hold of an iso or equivalent.

    Cheers
    jimbo

    Can't open control panel's personalisation

    Those videos must pre-date the Creators Update, those Control Panel extension were removed in that update . . .

    A lot of users are still running 1607 (Anniversary Edition) and will still have access through the Control Panel

    Click your Start Button, type winver, and hit enter. If you are on version 1703 you will not have access to Personalisation in the Control Panel

  3. windows 10 control panel

    In Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703) the Control Panel link has been removed from the Start Menu (right-click or Win+X shortcut). To find Control Panel in Creators Update go to the search box
    on the taskbar, type control panel, and then select
    Control Panel.

    Good to hear. Having both ancient Control Panel and Settings was misleading to say the least.

    Have been running CU 1703-1503.14 and Control Panel is still on the system under Windows System folder. Still there and accessible. A few of the original icons and access points have been depreciated, but it's still viable, at least on my systems (6), laptops, tablets and desktops.

  6. Well, lol, guess I'm old school in that I like having Control Panel around. Just pinned the icon for it (and This PC too) to the tile section of the Start Menu and I'm a happy Camper. I agree jimbo, this was a very easy upgrade.

    @jimbo45, it's not just you. I verified on my Creators Update VM that Control Panel has indeed been removed from the Power Users menu. (Right click on start, or WinKey+X).

    Happy to also see that PowerShell has been added to the Power Users menu.

    Yeah, but considering you can do all of the command prompt type things in PowerShell, I don't really see a great reason for sticking with the Command Prompt.

    Once you get used to using PowerShell, you will start using it all of the time. For example, somebody said "boy there are a lot of svchost processes running under Creators Update". Rather than going to Task Manager and counting them by hand, I went to PowerShell and typed; (get-process |where-object {$_.ProcessName -Match "svchost"}).Count
    Found out that I had 68 of them

    Still pops up where needed though, try Settings>Power & sleep>Additional power settings.

    *Ditto

    We all can now, the MCT was updated to 15063 at the same time as the Upgrade Assistant.

    W10 Creator Edition (Version 1703) Control Panel finally GONE

    I just did a clean install of W10 with latest ISO on 64 bit and also noticed Control Panel wasn't on the right click/start menu, but found it via search and pinned it to start.

    But - does this mean I now have the Creator Edition installed ?!!!! I don't know if I want that - is there an option? I just burned Windows 10 ISO 64 bit - no mention of creator edition.

    Still available to add as a desktop icon as well, then just pin it to start or taskbar or wherever.
