What is the Immersive Control Panel?

The Windows Immersive Control Panel was introduced in Windows 8 and replaced the traditional Control Panel in Windows 10.

It is a touch-friendly interface optimized for use on tablets and other touch-enabled devices. It is designed to provide a more modern and streamlined way to access and manage system settings and features.

  3. Select Windows Update and click Check for updates.
  4. Let it complete the process and restart your computer if it finds any updates.
  5. Lastly, please recheck the Settings feature to see if it works as intended.

If you’re enrolled in the Windows Insider program, update to the latest Windows 10 Preview build if you haven’t already. Using an old Windows 10 build is one of the leading causes of this error.

The same is valid for non-Insiders. Ensure you’re running the latest OS version and install any pending updates.

3. Run an SFC scan

  1. Press Windows + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
