Because I manage Windows based servers that run various business applications. And as it happens, when things go wrong, you want to be able to see all settings and options, not just three options that don’t help you. And don’t even get me stared about netsh…

I failed to mention in the initial comment that I am refferring to Windows Server, but I got triggered by “we’re removing the lasr useful bits of Windows configuration options”.




Can you expand on what they removed from Windows server? Removing options for normal users is one thing, but for sysadmins is another thing


Windows Server 2016 onwards: updates are all or nothing.

The default is the new settings app and you have to be very persistent if you want Control Panel options. Everything is oversimplified and dumbed down.

My example with network settings: Removing useful admin info for no reason.
