Nvidia announced more than two years ago that it was working to replace its Control Panel app on Windows with a new Nvidia app. After porting across various features to the Nvidia app, Nvidia is announcing today that it has officially retired the Control Panel app.
“With the introduction of our most recent Nvidia App update, all actively supported Nvidia Control Panel features for GeForce users have been modernized and transitioned to the new client,” says Nvidia. “After 20 years of dedicated service, the classic Nvidia Control Panel is officially retiring for Game Ready and Studio Drivers. For Nvidia RTX PRO users, the Nvidia Control Panel will continue to be supported until we have migrated professional features to the Nvidia app.”
Nvidia’s legacy Control Panel app will remain installed on people’s PCs unless a driver clean install is completed. Even so, if you do need the Control Panel app it will remain in the Microsoft Store, but it won’t be getting any new features or fixes.
Nvidia ported across the majority of important Control Panel features to the Nvidia app last year, and it has become an all-in-one app that can download and install drivers, manage game settings, and toggle different DLSS modes.
Nvidia also released a new Game Ready driver today, optimized just in time for the launch of 007 First Light. The latest 610.47 driver also includes support for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
