Windows 11 Takes Another Step Away from Control Panel: Mouse Settings Migration Explained

Deluxe company -

Windows 11 has taken significant steps toward updating its settings app, notably merging mouse settings from the legacy Control Panel into the modern Settings interface. As observed in the recent Windows Server Build 26376, all mouse-related features are now consolidated in one place, aligning with Microsoft’s goal to streamline user experience by eliminating the need for the Control Panel.

While many mouse options are now accessible under the Settings app, they remain somewhat dispersed across various sections. Features such as Mouse Pointer Trails and Pointer customization can be found in the Accessibility section, while other configurations like hover options are listed under the Devices page. This segmentation, while visually accommodating, poses a challenge for users accustomed to the legacy applet, which organized settings in a tabbed format for easier navigation.

Windows Latest supports this move towards an all-in-one applet, as it simplifies control over devices by reducing the reliance on multiple applications. However, the current approach of scattering settings may lead to difficulties when trying to locate specific options, contrary to the more compact setup of the old Control Panel.

Anticipation grows for these updates to be implemented in the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 version, suggesting that Microsoft is progressing towards a future with minimal dependency on the Control Panel. In contrast, users may find alternative methods, such as utilizing features like God Mode, to effectively manage settings with ease.
