I'm not talking that old programs can be run. I'm talking if you dig into the settings deep enough, a Windows 2000 looking screen will pop up out of nowhere.
It's the same thing. Stuff relies on it. And some stuff is just there from laziness. The only Windows being reskinned is 10. That's what 11 is underneath.
It's probably because of compatibility. Who knows, maybe that's the loadbareing UI. It all falls apart if they change it.
I mean control panel still is usable on windows 11. Control Panel has been there since 1985. The UI control panel uses now hasn't really been changed since Windows 95. There are plenty of other screens like that too, like the hardware properties menus and stuff.
