Agreed. Windows 95 was really well thought out and mostly consistent. I think MS went off the rails when Office started introducing its own UI concepts like the ribbon that were not available anywhere else. Then Win 8 had that weird split between Metro UI and regular Windows.
I still find it hard to believe that they couldn't produce a consistent control panel for Win 10. I never know where to find certain settings. They could be hidden in the new UI or the old. Who knows?
I also don't like the look of the UWP apps. Their rendering doesn't look very polished to me.
- byproxy 8y agoUWP programs seem so damn unresponsive, to me. I think part of it is excessive animations. Compare the right-click dropdown in Edge to that in Firefox, for example. Maybe if there were some setting where I could set the speed of those animations it wouldn't be so bad. But, for now, these UWP suffer from a very sluggish feeling.
- ummonk 8y agoI haven't been able to figure out how to do very basic network settings stuff in the new settings UI. Keep having to open the classic control panel.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI don't think there is much you can do in the new panel. I always pop back into the classic panel. But then there are other things that only the new panel can do :)
