Open Start or hit Win+R- type sysdm.cpl. Done. They kill off the easy to click icon in Control Panel, but they leave the stuff in still. I doubt they’ll remove them. Or at least hope not, lol. Settings is such a cluster to go through.
Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon
SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoCan confirm, want to change your domain or computer name? Windows 7/10: control panel , system , computer name tab. Windows 10 /11: control panel, system, windows settings, advanced system settings, old system control panel, computer name tab.
Why add a middle man??

Next time I write my ver 5 of my admin program I’ll add that in!

That many steps? WindowsKey+Break > Change computer name.
If you’re okay with three steps, on Windows 10 and newer, you can right click the start menu and generally open system. Just about any version supports rught clicking “My Computer” or “This PC” and selecting properties, as well.

I use powershell for this. I was just stating the click through steps.

But that would require effort to learn to do something different. And a lot of users are firmly against that notion.

Just like the new shitty right click menu. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel just because.

And there is no reason not to either. You would still be looking at the cli in Unix with that attitude.
