Yeah this seems silly, the reason to remove old support is to trim the code, and debloat, seems petty if its just to debloat the inf's.Yes, they removed Kepler GPU's from INF's. That should save a few kilobytes.
However, Kepler code is still inside the runtimes, so guinea pigs should be able to install the driver via NVCleanstall
I suppose the fear is if they remove all old gen specific code then new bugs may get introduced.
I feel they need to add the new control panel in a way that doesnt require GFE or the store, some people debloat their OS, they dont use a microsoft account or run LTSC/Education.
Per Microsoft requirements, the NVIDIA Control Panel is no longer included in the driver package and is instead distributed exclusively through the Microsoft Store and seamlessly installed following the completion of the NVIDIA driver installation.

Wow I suspected it but didnt post it as had no proof, so the reason is Microsoft want to push people to the store and they enforcing it on developers?
