Microsoft retires Windows Control Panel progress +1: two language options moved to settings

Fast technology news on May 19th, Microsoft has eliminated the control panel has made new progress, Microsoft has “language settings for non-Unicode programs” and “copy the current user settings to the welcome interface and system account/new user account” two language-related options from the control panel to the settings application.

Specifically, these two settings can be found in the “Language & Region” section under “Time & Language”, a change that means that they may be removed from the dashboard entirely in the future.

For now, these options are still hidden by default in Windows 11 Preview builds in the Dev and Beta channels, and Microsoft may be working on further optimizations for them.

The Language Settings for Non-Unicode Programs is used to specify the character encoding (code page) used by default for non-Unicode applications that rely on legacy culture encoding standards (such as ANSI or other legacy encoding) to display text and process data.

Setting this option correctly ensures that older applications developed before Unicode became a multilingual text encoding standard are running.

The “Copy User Settings” function synchronizes the current user’s display language, keyboard layout, and other regional settings to the welcome screen (login screen) and the newly created account to ensure that the system interface language experience is consistent.

Microsoft has been gradually migrating features from the Control Panel to the Settings app, following the keyboard’s character repetition delay and repetition rate options, as well as the mouse’s pointer tracks, pointer shadows, and customizations, from the Control Panel to the Settings app.
