New Windows 10 Settings uninstall view - better than previous version?

I'm failing to see how... newer is supposed to be better, but the view on the right seems to do the same thing yet shows way less info:



Can someone explain to me how the new way is better?

It appears to also require more scrolling and more clicks to see the same info and do the same things (or some features were just removed)... maybe this is great on a dinky tablet but I don't use Windows tablets (I don't know anyone that does) and Microsoft made it more difficult to get to Control Panel even on desktop than Settings due to not having Control Panel be one of the folders you can add to the Start menu left-side shortcuts like they allow with Settings. :/ really miffed at some design decisions here (just recently upgraded from 7)

Hi,
Sorry can't besides it looks better on a cell phone :/

One could argue --

1. It's way prettier (which matters if you want Mac peeps to drop MacOS)
2. The Boomers are old... and need bigger print
3. Resized for tablets
4. Once you've made your transition to 10 you won't be using the settings so much

But you are correct that 10 demands lots of scrolling, to the point of not realizing key features are just out of view. That aspect of it is poor design. It's like if your car's ignition was under the driver's seat.

I don't like tablets either, dont even know how to use them or even played with one and prefer the way things worked in XP and W7. At the time when W8 had been recently released I had to buy a new computer and decided to buy a W7 instead of W8 as I couldn't stand the Start menu W8 had. I found everything about W8 disgusting, specially the Start menu. Luckily, afterward, MS started moving to correct the errors in the the Start menu, made it closer to what we had in W7 and by the time I had to buy another computer, W10 had become OK. So, I bought a W10. I have been using W10 now for two and a half year, and I can tell you, I like it. I still prefer XP over all other MS systems I used but W10 is fine. And is getting better.

Read the last sentence this guy wrote in the article below released today. I feel those words are true. They might encourage you into giving W10 a chance with an open mind.

Regarding the Control panel. You can pin it to the right side of your Start menu. I have a shortcut there and is usually where I open it from. In XP and W7, I had it on the left side, on W10 is on the right. No difference, you open it with same amount of clicks.

Bo.

Or you can navigate to "C:/Windows/System32" and scroll down the list until you find the "control" program icon, then make a shortcut on the right click menu for your desktop!
