Hands On with the Windows 10 Networking Status Page

When Microsoft started building Windows 10 one of their goals was to create a modern settings app to eventually replace the tried and true Control Panel that we have had through so many iterations of the Windows operating system.

Through the initial release of Windows 10 in July of 2015 (Version 1507), the first major update in November of the same year (Version 1511) and now with the Anniversary Update (Version 1607) that was made available at the beginning of August more functionality is present in the Windows Settings app.

In this gallery I want to show you all of the information and tools that are available in the Network and Internet settings on the main Status page. As you will see, many of the shortcuts still take you to elements of the classic Control Panel but the expectation is that eventually those items will be incorporated into the Windows Settings app for Windows 10.

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
