Everything I need is still in in the old settings windows that haven't changed in 23 years - eviltoast

I don’t know why I even bother opening the settings app

    I wanted to open “devices and printers” and it opened some bullshit in the settings app and it didn’t tell me the model of PC I have, then I clicked on “more information” or something like that and it opened the old “devices and printers” like I wanted in the first place.

    Not all new things are good, Microsoft. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. I know new features make the shareholders jizz in their pants, but I want my system to continue working the way I need it to work. I’ve had to go out and get quite a few third party apps just to get around all the bullshit you keep changing for no reason.

      Ah yes. Well when I want to modify my IP address I do:

      Win+R

      Then I enter:

      Ncpa.cpl

      And hit enter. So easy.

      Not so easy is the more useful printer settings:

      Win+R

      Then:

      shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}

      🤦🏻

        its faster to change the ip using the win11 settings app than with Control panel, also DNS over HTTPS is missing from control panel and only available in the settings app
