Nowadays Windows is filled with adware and is fairly slow, but it wasn't always like this. Was there a particular time where a change occurred?

Yeah, every UI change since 7 has been for the worse, increasing the number of steps required to get work done.

I heard someone refer to what happened from XP to 10 as "onioneering" because they just added layers.

To be fair, 10's Settings screen makes dealing with wifi and bluetooth much easier than 7

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah but they had to do that because bluetooth became much more commonplace between 7 and 10.

Although I'm not sure if it was like that out of the box or it was improved with an update.

I wasn't using bluetooth with 7, so you could be right. But if I need to fiddle with wifi beyond just changing what AP I'm connected to, the network settings I typically want to look at, eg disabling adapters or manually setting an IP address, were available in fewer steps in 7 versus 10.
