All this engineering effort for what? The new settings stuff is materially worse than the old stuff.
Part of me is just amazed at how slow large corps are - what does everyone do??
In so many areas the new stuff is not features complete or equivalent after years and years. And the usability is worse. And comically, despite going to a "modern" solution - the whole things runs SLOWER by far than classic settings which was near instant.
So both they why for the change and the seeming insanely slow pace of getting the old working (again) on the new and improved are both questions I think.
Sounds, printers, mouse, networking, user management and more - I feel like I'm always trying to fight my way back to harder to find classic control panels after trying to do stuff with the improved versions.
For larger installs you used to be able to loin to audit mode, customize a profile and make it the default for new users. That was super easy for even non-IT folks to do to get a baseline setup that seemed to cover almost all settings. Now that's gotten "improved" into garbage as well.
Instead we are getting UWP apps (mostly garbage) that can be hard to uninstall if provisioned in weird ways to a user.
