Adding Programs to Windows Control Panel
Windows Control Panel is a graphical user interface (GUI) through which you can manage and configure the various aspects of your computer. It provides access to system settings, including those related to programs you have installed on your computer. You can use the Control Panel to add, remove, and manage installed programs on your Windows computer.
Before you begin adding programs, it is important to ensure that the program you want to install is compatible with your operating system. You should also ensure that there is sufficient free space on your hard drive before attempting to install any new program.

6. When the setup is complete, the program will be available for use from the Control Panel.
Removing Programs from Windows Control Panel
When programs are no longer needed, they can be uninstalled from the Control Panel to free up space on your hard drive. Uninstalling programs from the Control Panel is a simple process.
1. To begin, open the Control Panel by pressing the Windows Key + R, typing “control” and then pressing Enter.
2. Scroll down to the Programs category and click on “Uninstall a program”.
