Perhaps you could just make them easier to find by putting them in one location... You could call it a "control panel".
Curious who the hell downvoted you.
They even killed wmic. It was like control panel but in the command prompt.
I know what the point is. It sucks.
For now
The settings app is half-baked dog shit.
It was certainly easier than the current state of things.
Sure assuming the AI understands your request and the setting you want hasn't been removed because they wanted to put everything in the settings app and the one you wanted conflicts with their data gathering and add presentation and it's not running in the background bogging down your system all the time or trying to interject itself into whatever you're trying to do without involving it.
The fact that they're moving things over slowly instead of just fucking finishing it before they deploy it all at once. They've been doing this since Windows 10 came out, they have a trillion dollars. There's no excuse to have it be half assed for so long especially considering "Settings" isn't even an improvement.
Literally everything? You don't have to click through 14 different menus to drill down to what you're looking for. It's all on one window in Control Panel. Just look at Devices and Printers in Control Panel vs. Devices in settings or Programs and Features vs. Apps and features the newer versions have far less information available at a glance.
I use it every day on my work PC. It runs like ass.
Bullshit to all those points. If you couldnt find it in the control panel before, you sure as shit cant find it now.
Also, they've been "slowly" transitioning for over two years, wtf? We waiting for the next OS at this point?
I do NOT need voice activation, I know how to use a keyboard and mouse, the core components of input for a computer.
You want to use your voice, talk to your mom cause I'm done with her.
j/k on the mom part
I'd rather they spend time fixing all the things theyre "working on" rather than introduce more half baked shit into the os for fucks sake. There is a huge list of things that keep people from upgrading so instead they said "now you have to". Fuck that. Just fix your shit and people will upgrade willingly.
Fuck windows. They had a great thing going with Windows 10, then the reneged. They said windows 10 was going to be the last major OS for windows. How do we trust anything from Microsoft now?
now it's going to cause people to trash their working device because it's only 7th gen and doesn't have TPM 2.0. greedy little piggies who want to track their users and throw privacy out the window.
Well see.
Cant argue with a Linux user, just leave
I'm a windows user, but I can call shit when I see shit.
Have you actually ever used Control Panel?
