You can still run the original Nvidia Control Panel by grabbing it from the Microsoft Store today — app remains useful to adjust a handful of RTX Pro and Quadro features, and may be handy for troubleshooting - Tom's Hardware

NVIDIA has officially retired its classic NVIDIA Control Panel (NVCP), migrating its features to the newer NVIDIA App. However, the legacy software remains accessible via the Microsoft Store, particul... Read original →

NVIDIA’s rushed migration from the legacy Control Panel to its new app reveals a disconnect between software modernization and professional workflow demands. Technically, the decoupling from Win32 APIs forces ISVs to revalidate Quadro-centric pipelines like Mosaic, inflating enterprise deployment costs. Compliance-wise, while Microsoft Store availability mitigates immediate disruption, the lack of ongoing security patches risks violating ISO 27001 standards in regulated sectors. AMD is capitalizing by promoting Radeon Pro Settings’ stability, targeting finance and healthcare with ‘zero-downtime’ upgrade promises. Over the next 18 months, if NVIDIA fails to replicate low-latency sync and stereo controls in its new app, expect cautious shifts toward ROCm—especially in Mainland China and Taiwan, China, where domestic AI chip vendors are bundling NVCP-like toolchains to capture workstation share.
