They already had that shit consolidated. It's called "Control Panel" and has been around for forty years.

Honest question as I only use Windows every once and a while. Can you get to that disk management thing from the Control Panel? The one that looks like gparted.

Yep, depending on the version it was under either administrative tools or system tools option in control panel. It's now also in the menu when you right click the start button.

And for twenty or so years they have added features that aren't in there. Hence the problem.

So unless you have a time machine, the answer is to consolidate.
