  It’s a interesting trip through Windows history everytime I need to change an admin setting:

  • You need to modify an admin setting (like…setting a MTU for example or changing an IP address (now possible in Settings, but wasn’t for a long time))

  • You click through Settings -> Setting not available, but a Link to Control Panel -> click on the Control Panel Link (XP-Era) -> Advanced Settings on the Top-Window (Windows 2000) -> Finally, right click on the Network Adapter and select Properties and you are all the way back to Windows 95/98.

  • Same with Powershell: A function or Cmdlet isn’t available? Let’s try this .Net thingy first, before we head to VBS

  • Need to manage Sound Devices? Better do that in Control Panel, since most of the useful settings are still missing

  • Need to remove a Outlook profile? Control Panel.

  Windows is a prime example of inconsistent design, that’s why Device Manager still asks for drivers on a A:\ 3,5" floppy drive.

  As an Administrator, I’m curious to see, what will become of Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and their Snap-Ins, which are still required to have by many still supported MS Products and third party tools. The last time I had to edit something in “Component Services” (Windows NT-Era Tool) was 2023.

  I don’t believe you.

  I have to try this out in Kerbal Space Program first

  Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring and most other soulslikes.

  Other games are unbearable to try 100%, for example: Cities Skylines where you have to wait for a generated special natural disaster that may or may not appear after X hours in your current savegame.
