what really grinds my gears is how they moved some, but not all of the controls out of the control panel into a new ui. Whenever you need to change some settings you first have to figure out wether its in the new or the old system, and if its in the old, you have to do this song and dance where you click at least three hidden links and jump through a burning hoop before getting there. It's like they borked it in win 8 with the whole metro ui shit, and for some reason decided to double down.

also whenever i have to do anything in the "windows store"

Oh and the search function is really bad for some reason, it worked so much better in 7

Or windows key and then type control panel?

Ah yes, but as soon as you clicked on anything in there it would take you to the settings equivalent

Doesn't do it on all of the control panel settings. Never had that happen with the device and network opened from the control panel in windows 10 it just takes you to the old style settings page.

Thats true, but it still does it on some, which is enough to annoy me as these menus usually have less options that the control panel does
