It's been over 10 years and they still haven't put half of the things in the Windows 7 and earlier style of the Sounds menu in the Settings App. 10 freaking years, Microsoft.

That's the last place you can access network adapter properties in 11 easily. In 10 you could get there through network settings but it's like 10 clicks. Network adapter properties is so useful still.

At some point they will prevent us from having root access to windows. Maybe we will have to beg copilot to do things, maybe it will be enterprise licence only. And most people will not care because pc is just facebook machine to them.

there's probably going to be third party tools to replace it.
