In [[information systems|communications]] or [[computer system]]s, a '''configuration''' of a system refers to the arrangement of each of its functional units, according to their nature, number and chief characteristics.

The configuration of a computer is typically recorded in a [[configuration file]]. In modern computer systems, this is [[auto-configuration|created and updated automatically]] as physical components are added or removed. Applications may assume that the configuration file is an accurate representation of the physical configuration and act accordingly.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is a configuration file? |url=https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/what-configuration-file |access-date=2025-01-16 |website=www.redhat.com |language=en}}</ref>

Most modern computer systems provide a mechanism called the '''system settings''' (or "control panel") that permits users to set their preferences. These include system [[accessibility]] options (such as the default size of the [[system font]]), brightness and contrast; security and privacy; network selection and so on.
