Why are the settings for a single device spread across multiple sections of the OS though?

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because windows 11 is an updated version of windows 19 and windows 10 is an updated version of windows 7/8.1.

Each one of them has had holdovers of previous versions of windows. And each one has tried to bring in a new standard to bring them all together but they've always moved on to the next standard before finishing it. Windows 11 has actually came the closest but we're not there yet and because it's actively replaced old methods of doing things in this process it feels more fractured than before because we're not used to looking in the new places for them.

I feel like making important changes was easiest with XP. It feels like they're trying to obscure administrative functions behind layers of abstraction.
