"We set out to solve one of the most common frustrations we hear — finding and changing settings on your PC — using the power of AI agents," Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences at Microsoft, said in a blog post on Tuesday. "An agent uses on-device AI to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks."

Just to be the devil's advocate here: There are way more settings now than back then. That interface wouldn't cut it either.

The problem isn't the new coat of paint - it's more that Microsoft keeps painting half the building then starting over for the new OS. It's frustrating that the key to finding a setting is knowing when it was developed to know which UI you need to be digging through.

Even on 11 hit winkey+r then type in CONTROL

Not convinced the number matter as much if settings are indexed and thus searchable, which they probably are now otherwise the "AI" wouldn't be able to access them. So... just more convolutions for the end user?
