After 20 years of service, Nvidia is officially retiring its 'Nvidia Control Panel' and replacing it with the 'Nvidia App'.
According to Nvidia's latest Game Ready driver patch notes, no new features will be added to the Control Panel, and it will not be included with the latest 'Game Ready' and 'Studio Drivers' for GeForce GPUs.
However, for RTX Pro GPUs, support for the Control Panel will be maintained until all 'professional-grade features' are migrated to the Nvidia App.
The Nvidia Control Panel will operate in a 'maintenance mode' going forward. If you don't select 'Full Installation' when updating your drivers, the Control Panel will not be removed, so there is no need to keep older drivers. Additionally, Nvidia plans to continue offering the Control Panel through the Microsoft Store, so you can install it whenever needed.
