NVIDIA has officially retired the NVIDIA Control Panel after 20 years, the company announced in a GeForce Driver blog post for 007 First Light. The shutdown applies to both Game Ready and Studio Drivers.
NVIDIA RTX PRO users will continue to receive support for the Control Panel until professional features are moved to the NVIDIA App.
The removal does not delete the Control Panel from existing installations. Users who already have the Control Panel installed can keep using it on their current systems, and it remains available for download through the Microsoft Store for those who prefer the older interface. However, no new features, updates, or fixes will be added in the future.
