Hey, at least Windows has really good backwards compatibility.

Everything I need is configurable through PowerShell for years. Why bother with UI? Win 7, 10 or 11 - it's all the same.

Can it list available settings that could be changed, because if so it is an almost perfect replacement for the settings app?

Because I don't have all the commands to do everything memorized. Also powershell versions and compatibility / features have changed a lot over the years.

Not to say that Powershell is a bad thing in any way, it is quite useful for the stuff I do at work. But it is a mess just like the rest of MS.

Yeah I've been a mixed environment sysadmin for many years and still to keep need a Windows desktop at home and powershell makes it all happen. I basically do a complete debloat of my install and and all that. I actually like the overall Windows 11 desktop environment but omg the bloatware is insane I don't know how people use it without knowing how to clean it up.

I've got fed up of them changing how many hoops you go through to get to the old settings so I have the .cpl commands memorized that work no matter what computer you're at

Appwiz.cpl ncpa.cpl for common examples
