I wanted to open "devices and printers" and it opened some bullshit in the settings app and it didn't tell me the model of PC I have, then I clicked on "more information" or something like that and it opened the old "devices and printers" like I wanted in the first place.

Not all new things are good, Microsoft. Don't fix what isn't broken. I know new features make the shareholders jizz in their pants, but I want my system to continue working the way I need it to work. I've had to go out and get quite a few third party apps just to get around all the bullshit you keep changing for no reason.

Ah yes. Well when I want to modify my IP address I do:

Win+R

Then I enter:

Ncpa.cpl

And hit enter. So easy.

Not so easy is the more useful printer settings:

Win+R

Then:

shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}

🤦🏻

This is how you open the dialogs you're looking for instead of randomly clicking through 4 items deep in this new crappy UI

I mean, is it this: A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A? No common name?

New crappy UI that was also reorganized about 4 times since Windows 10 launched, so depending on how old of a build (and with Windows update breakage it could be quite old!) is on the computer that was just dropped before you you might have to click for a while
