Now we will look at how to open the control panel in Windows 8. This tool in Windows 8 has almost the same functionality as that on Windows 7.
Control Panel Features
Among other things, the Windows 8 control panel allows the owner of a personal computer to independently solve the following issues: changing the background and theme of the desktop, family security, power settings,
screen resolution.We will talk about the tools that the control panel has at our disposal, and now we will return to the main topic. The fact is that not every user of the Windows 7 system will be able to immediately understand, and also figure out how to open the control panel in Windows 8. Therefore, this issue should be paid more attention.
How to open the control panel in Windows 8 - options
First of all, you should know that Windows 8 has two interfaces: Classic and Metro. Now we will consider in the conditions of these interfaces the possible search options for the “Control Panel” we need. Using the familiar “Search” built-in to Windows 8, you can find everything, even the “Control Panel,” both in the Classic and Metro interfaces.
You can also find the required tool in the "Applications". If you use the Classic interface, the standard Explorer will also answer you the question of where the control panel is, if asked accordingly.
Touch magic
Now more and more computers are equipped with touch screens. Given this, you should consider how to open the control panel in Windows 8 on such devices.
You should start the procedure using the capabilities of the "Search" function. We will consider this method on the example of the Metro interface. However, under the conditions of Classics, the Search system functions in exactly the same way, and similar actions should be performed. If you do not have a keyboard and mouse at hand, use a stylus or a finger, this means that you own a device with a touch screen. It is interesting that in our native Russian language a special word “i Finger” has recently appeared (comes from English - iFinger). This is a finger, the purity of which must be constantly maintained in order to be able to use a tablet or smartphone, without dirtying them at the same time.
Sleight of hand
In order to open the section we need, swipe your finger from the right side of the screen as quickly as possible. You will see a small panel, which has a “Search” button on top. Touch the Search button to open it. Enter the phrase “control panel” without quotes in the window of this function.
Press (with a stylus, mouse or finger) on the special magnifying glass icon, which can be found in the “Search” line at the end. Thus run the "Search". At the end of this process, the icon for the desired panel appears on the display. Touch it with your finger (or stylus) and you will see the “Control Panel”.
If you use the mouse, you can go the following way. Move your mouse over the upper right corner of the screen, and then a little to the left. In other words, from the top at the right corner, make a mouse movement from right to left. After that, a panel will appear where the “Search” button is the first. Next, in “Search”, enter the phrase “control panel” without quotes, as above. You will see the icon of the required tool.
It remains only to click on it in order to go to the "Control Panel". You can also not enter any combinations in the "Search", as described above. Just refer to the "Applications". Slowly scroll from the left to the left using the finger the “Applications” screen, find the title “Utilities - Windows”. Here, among the "Service" applications, the necessary panel is hidden.
