  2. Control Panel Display Settings Missing

    Hi,

    I am currently studying for a cert exam. The instructor goes to Control

    • Panel > Appearance and Personalisation.

    In there, he has two items in the list that my version of control panel does not have.

    • Personalisation
    • Display
    Why don't these appear in control panel? Is it due to an update? Could I have settings or policies that are configured differently that would enable them somehow?

    Difference between settings & control panel?

    In the beginning there was just the Control Panel. Windows 8 introduced the Settings app, but it was very limited in scope, almost everything important was still just in the Control Panel.

    With Windows 10 Settings became more comprehensive, but at first (version 1507, the original release) almost every setting was in parallel with an equivalent in the Control Panel. With each new version since then Settings has been improved, to the state now where for some functions it is sufficiently developed so that the equivalent function can be removed from Control Panel.

    It's a continuing evolution and it's not finished yet. Microsoft's apparent aim seems to be to do away with the control panel completely, or at least, only keep it for the more difficult 'advanced settings'.

    The Control Panel (Category View)

    My apologies, Brink but I still do not get it.

    The steps for both options are identical, the only difference is the location of the desired icons will need to be accessible for all users for Option 2. That's it.

    Moreover, both the Mail and Flash Player (32-bit) applets are not listed in the list of Control Panel items for both options.


    Regards,
