Project Odeon test app appears in Microsoft Store as new Settings experiment
The unfinished app mirrors the Windows Settings icon and interface, and reportedly requires Windows 11 build 26100 or newer to install.
A test app named Project Odeon has appeared in the Microsoft Store, where it resembles a new version of the Windows Settings app, according to pcgamer.com.
The listing shares the same icon as Windows Settings and mirrors the familiar Settings interface. Installing it reportedly requires Windows 11 build 26100 or newer.
Inside, the app shows different settings, unfinished pages and some greyed-out options. Its Display settings page includes the monitor's display path, HDR support and SDR white levels.
The base executable can call helper executables that require extra permissions, covering tasks such as changing the time zone or renaming the PC.
Control Panel still lingers
For generations, Microsoft has maintained two separate Windows options menus, Control Panel and Settings. Moving away from Control Panel has been considered for at least a couple of years.
