Windows "god mode": https://www.howtogeek.com/402458/enable-god-mode-in-windows-10/

What is god mode?

it's simply a special folder you can enable that exposes most of Windows' admin, management, settings, and Control Panel tools in a single, easy-to-scroll-through interface

It's very easy to set this up, and it also works in Windows 11. Even if Microsoft removes access to the normal Control Panel, I seriously doubt this will be taken out.

I know this but they can break it as well if they do remove it not only hide it ( class ids ). For me it's plain as the new windows settings are dead slow and it won't be usable if your computer is under very heavy load. Only cmd, maybe powershell and maybe sys internals will be what's left for you
