Sometimes the new settings UI and the old settings UI aren’t synced and will conflict with eachother, windows 10 has at least 3 volume settings menus (the oldest is from XP) and at least 2 of them operate independantly of eachother with the actual sound output being the average of the two.
Comment on “Temporary” disk formatting UI from 1994 still lives on in Windows 11
yuriy@lemmy.world 7 months agoThere’s settings that only exist in the older menus too. I hate the settings overhaul from 10, it turned troubleshooting into a goddamn scavenger hunt. Toggles that used to live in dialog boxes on the taskbar are suddenly behind 2 separate settings windows that both somehow always take a second to load. Just so I can click a single button, usually to open another superfluous settings window.
I swear to god microsoft is the only company simultaneously making their product worse and harder to use for both general AND power users.

Even since 10, they keep moving shit around. I’ll Google how to disable some stupid feature and then have to search through the results to figure out which one still applies.
Also, anyone else notice that in the MS support threads, almost every single first response is useless and doesn’t even really address the specific question being asked but a very basic version of it? And then 50/50 whether a better reply comes in after the OP says they already tried that (and said so in their OP) or that the response has nothing to do with what they actually asked.
