Microsoft signals work on older Windows interfaces.

Windows 11 still has more than 20 tools with older interfaces, and some Settings links open old Control Panel windows. The request was to modernize legacy Windows dialogs and management tools, then move the remaining Control Panel functions into Settings. TechPowerUp reports that Marcus Ash, Microsoft’s design and research lead for Windows and Devices, replied to a user asking for those changes: “Noted and working on that too.” Ash didn’t name specific tools or give a timeline. It’s a sign the work is underway, but not a schedule for what changes next.
