My big gripe with windows 10 is them putting half of settings in the Settings app but you still need to dig out the legacy control panel for stupid shit like audio device management that makes sense.

    Ya and it gets even worse on windows 11. I still pull up settings menus with windows+r and the command lmao. For example instead of 45 clicks to change an IP address, I just type ncpa.cpl in the run box and hit enter. Way faster.

    I recall in the early 2000s my web master mentor told me you should be able to get to any page on a site in 3 or 4 clicks...

    Seems like a good standard for any UI design. 3 or 4 steps to get anywhere.

    Its literally a dozen steps to get to some settings in windows.
