I hate how the settings app is taking over control panel entries to make them worse and show me the original control panel window after going down 3 levels because the stupid fucks can't design UI for shit.
Thankfully, you can still get to a lot of them if you know the name of the control panel applet.
Fighting with their shitty "new" UI trying to find the old Sound UI to fix an issue that their new UI doesn't even have a toggle for really chapped my ass.
This bullshit right here is what finally pushed me over the edge and into the warm embrace of a penguin.
Want to see the advanced settings for a network adapter?
Good luck finding it, fucko
Ncpa.cpl > right click > properties and go from there is my main method.
Otherwise, Win+X > G (devmgmt.msc) and look at the network adapter in device manager
Other than the win+x chord, that works on just about every version I have to touch
Oh I solved the issue by switching to Linux years ago lol. I just recently had this frustration happen at work
Heh, I'm a windows sysadmin, so I use them often enough to know it from memory. I'm almost entirely Linux at home these days as well
Apparently there's a ton of CBT involved in doing anything in the new Settings app, so it makes sense to only bring over the things you absolutely have to and then send people to the old control panel for the rest.
Computer based training? Cognitive behavior therapy? Cock and ball torture?
That last one.
