      As admin and tech support, I use the control panel constantly. I use the settings app… for display configuration, I guess?

      It’s not you. There are many things you simply cannot do in the settings app.

        And if you can do it, it’s complicated and convoluted. I miss Win32 settings panels, everything was so well organized and simple to manage.

      Yeah the new interface has restrictions it doesn’t tell you about until you try to apply new settings.

      You can now reach the network connections folder, using an option on the network status page. It’s something like advanced network options. Still all the classic stuff, but avoids “control panel.” I’m going to guess links like that are not going to be removed.

      If they just outright remove all of that, you really will need to learn how to do everything in powershell.

        Mostly 11 now. I honestly prefer it to 10 now, but that’s with quite about of decrapification done to remove all of Microsoft’s bullshit.

        At home I’m mostly using Ubuntu, but it’s basically covering firefox as all of my self-hosted stuff runs in thevbrowser and I don’t game much.

          Hmm, then I’m a bit confused, since my experience with Windows 11 settings app has been good enough to not need to go into the control panel for setting up basic networking, unlike with Windows 10’s setting app.
