Microsoft added many new features to Windows 11 last year, but there are still some features it is working on. Microsoft recently announced that it is working on an “Advanced Windows Settings” panel that gives users more control over the operating system, and most importantly, you can decide how it looks.

As published on Microsoft’s GitHub page, Microsoft has released some proof-of-concept images for the new Windows Advanced Settings panel. Microsoft has made clear that this is not intended to replace the default Windows Control Panel; instead, it is designed to give advanced users more control over how the operating system works.

Microsoft also published a list of goals it plans to achieve with the Windows Advanced Settings panel:

• Give developers more control over system settings and advanced features.
• Help developers find customizations that can improve daily workflows and improve device performance.
• Create a single UI to manage/configure new developer features in Windows (e.g. built-in file manager + version control integration) so we can quickly implement new features/configurations.
• Work with the development community to identify additional options that should be integrated into the new panel.
• Providing the ability to write scripts and reuse them on new and/or existing devices.

If you have feedback about the new design, Microsoft invites you to comment on the GitHub thread and make your voice heard. It looks like the Redmond-based giant wants to make this new feature popular among Windows 11 power users, so it’s important to get their thoughts on this feature during the design phase.
