Set to be unveiled on 24 June, it will include design changes and more opportunities for creators and developers via the Windows app store.<\/p>\n
Keen Microsoft observers expect the announcement to be a significant redesign of Windows 10 that has been codenamed \u201cSun Valley\u201d, expected to be released during the second half of 2021.<\/p>\n
Others have speculated it will be an entirely new version of the OS called Windows 11.<\/p>\n
According to Softpedia News<\/strong><\/a>, a recent leaked image which apparently stems from an internal build of the new OS shows a screenshot of a revamped modern Settings app with a cleaner and simplified UI design.<\/p>\n It incorporates some of the elements of the Control Panel, with colourful icons for the major settings categories which are now shown in a navigation menu on the left side.<\/p>\n Selecting one of these categories opens a subset of settings applicable to them.<\/p>\n Under the System tab, for example, users will find Display, Sound, Notifications, Power, and Storage options, among other.<\/p>\n The image below shows the new Settings app running on a supposed internal build of the new Windows.<\/p>\n The new design appears to reconcile the modern Settings app with the more familiar navigation of Control Panel.<\/p>\n Having all these settings in two places would make no sense, suggesting that Microsoft aims to push more users to the Settings app.<\/p>\n This would align with one of Microsoft’s supposed main goals with the new Windows – to make its legacy interfaces more consistent with its fluid design language.<\/p>\n The company has alluded to replacing the Control Panel app with Settings since 2015.<\/p>\n The modern Settings app has become the default when searching for configuration options via the Start Menu.<\/p>\n While current public versions of Windows 10 still allow for viewing and changing most settings in Control Panel, Microsoft has gradually moved certain categories over to the Settings app.<\/p>\n This includes the Programs and Features, System, and About sections.<\/p>\n Windows Latest also previously reported<\/strong><\/a> that sources familiar with Windows 10’s development believe that a future Windows update would drop support for more Control Panel categories.<\/p>\n The next major update for Windows could finally flip the kill-switch on Control Panel, a staple of the operating system since its earliest versions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341042,"featured_media":400809,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[65805,43684,26970,70123,953],"class_list":["post-400779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-control-panel","tag-operating-systems","tag-windows-10","tag-windows-sun-valley","tag-windows-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400779"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341042"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Windows-10-e1623136259670-395x430.jpeg\")
