Microsoft has tried to dumb down its Control Panel with a simple UI over the years, rather than a list of options, but there’s still a number of settings that don’t exist in the new PC Settings app.
“Why do I have to go the PC settings to forget a network and Control panel to change IP settings?
Can’t this all be done from a single place?” It’s a fair criticism, and one that Microsoft should look to address with Windows 10.
