Remember when they planned to move over all the Control Panel settings to the Settings app?

In Windows 10?

I still extensively use:

Win+R

ncpa.cpl

It's still the only way I know how to easily and quickly change my NIC settings.

The worst part is to change some things it adds like an extra 4 clicks to the old method.

Windows 11 had a link to that in under the advanced network options.

I say had as a recent update just took it away. They added a new advanced settings to replace the network connections part you linked to, but it is still missing options. Almost 10 years of the new settings and still no way to enable split tunneling on a vpn in the new UI.

And then at the final click, it takes you to that control panel screen anyway lol

And this here is the icing on the cake, isn't it?

I'm 90% sure that is the only way to change settings past just showing what you are connected to. Does/can anyone actually use settings over the control panel tools?

I still don't know this and we are already talking windows 12 lol
