Microsoft restores Network and Sharing Center Control Panel in Windows 11

Microsoft deleted the Network and Sharing Center in the previously launched Windows 11 development version, and users will jump directly to the Settings application when they click in the Control Panel. If you want to modify the properties of the network card such as driver or wake-on-lan configuration, you need to find more options for the network adapter in the Ethernet advanced network settings. After clicking, you still have to jump to the network connection interface of the traditional control panel, which is equivalent to adding more steps for users to set up the network after the change. It may be that more users complained that Microsoft made such adjustments. Microsoft has restored the sharing center in the latest development version of Windows 11 Dev Build 22538.


In the Windows 11 development version launched this week, Microsoft has restored the network and sharing center, and now users can click directly on the control panel. This is very useful for users who are accustomed to using the traditional control panel for quick operations. It is very convenient to operate directly through the control panel if you want to modify what content.

Of course, it does not mean that the Setting application is not good, but the current setting function is not perfect. In the future, Microsoft will definitely continue to try to migrate more functions to the settings application. For users, even if they don’t like it, they can only be forced to accept it and slowly form a habit.
