Edit: To be clear “make it easier for casual users” is some MBA bullshit. The casual user adds nothing to technology - when those retards get involved, things enshitify because they let it happen.
Causal users shouldn’t be fucking around in settings since I can attest with factual data that 0% of casual users actually know what the fuck they are doing.
Once they drop the real control panel all the useful / advanced configuration will be hidden behind a PowerShell cmdlet you have to Google to find out about! Very streamlined and intuitive.
Settings app: “A network without a gateway? Bullshit mate lemme on the internet.”

Seems like they wanted the web and app version of outlook to work identically. Some things don’t work on the web though, so they decided to cut features on the app until they were the same as web. It’s just such a corporate move.
Yeah no shit. Then the new ones literally have less features than the old one. Like connecting SharePoint calendars
Windows having Settings and Control Panel. It is just an unmanageable bloat of legacy code.
I use control panel enough that i would be seriously pissed if they removed it. Why is it considered bloat?
Settings is the bloat. Control Panel reigns supreme.
Half the shit I actually want I just run directly these days, rather than nosing through either.
Just to name a few.
Settings is more accessible to casual users.
Fuck. Casual. Users.

So delete Settings and only allow Control Panel
Until they call me because the setting they need isn’t in settings…
In that case, they wouldn’t have found it in Control Panel anyways.
Otherwise, they would have opened Control Panel.
They better not touch my damn control panel. I’ll fight a microsoft systems engineer. They can be added to the list.

It’s utter bollocks. It used to be the OEM crap that had to be removed or clean installed over. Now you have to spend time unfucking fresh installs.
My 11 image is just about usable, but only after a lot of gutting, reg entries, powershell scripts and openshell.
The railroading to sign in with an MS account has become worse too, but still just about bypassable.
Ah yes, just like MacOS’s
pmsetOr having a button to refresh RSS feeds.
