  That’s fine, I can’t imagine using another version of Windows once 10 LTSC hits EoL.

  You will have to take ncpa.cpl from my cold dead hands

  Changing IP assignment in the modern settings app is straight up annoying

    Every one of these Microsoft controversies since I ditched them has just validated my decision.

    That’s fine when you want a setting that exists in the settings app. Let me know if you find a place to adjust your also device speaker configuration, or toggle live monitoring of an audio input.

      Or set up your IrDA driver for a dongle that it does not really recognize.

      Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!

      It’s not really fine, though. It’s much more sparse on information, and the animations slow you down because buttons are not clickable until the animation ended. And then there’s when the menu gets populated in chunks through a few seconds, don’t even try to click the button because it will jump away and you’ll click something else. No, this is not on an old machine: Ryzen system with SSD.

  I find it funny they’ve been trying to kill the Control Panel for 12 years now and still haven’t been able to do it. Microsoft, here’s an idea you can have for free: Put an “Other” section in the Settings app that opens the Control Panel inside the app, QED.

  At least windows god mode still available although you need a little bit trick to summon it

  No big deal to me. I use search in control panel to find what I need. Do the same for Settings. Or just open mmc and load the appropriate item.

  While My go to is control panel if they fully committed to settings in win 8 I wouldn’t give a fuck. I don’t care where my settings live as long as it’s all in 1 place

  Pity I have shifted enough away from win thar I only need it for a single program and could no longer care

  Settings itself has been around in one form or another since at least Win95. 29 years…
