Nvidia's driver 610.47 officially removes the classic Control Panel after more than 20 years

Nvidia released GeForce Game Ready Driver 610.47 on May 26, and the classic Nvidia Control Panel is no longer included. All settings functions have moved to the Nvidia App. A clean driver install removes the old panel entirely; upgrading over an existing install also deletes it. Nvidia is keeping a legacy version downloadable from the Microsoft Store but will ship no further updates for it. Enterprise and RTX PRO users on a separate driver branch retain Control Panel access for a few more update cycles. The release also updates CUDA to version 13.3 and adds game-ready support for 007 First Light and EA Sports F1 25.
