Yeah no shit. Then the new ones literally have less features than the old one. Like connecting SharePoint calendars
Windows having Settings and Control Panel. It is just an unmanageable bloat of legacy code.
I use control panel enough that i would be seriously pissed if they removed it. Why is it considered bloat?
Once they drop the real control panel all the useful / advanced configuration will be hidden behind a PowerShell cmdlet you have to Google to find out about! Very streamlined and intuitive.
Settings app: "A network without a gateway? Bullshit mate lemme on the internet."
It's utter bollocks. It used to be the OEM crap that had to be removed or clean installed over. Now you have to spend time unfucking fresh installs.
My 11 image is just about usable, but only after a lot of gutting, reg entries, powershell scripts and openshell.
The railroading to sign in with an MS account has become worse too, but still just about bypassable.
Ah yes, just like MacOS's
