And often that's because MS decided not to replicate some capabilities of the old WinNT-vintage configuration GUI in the pretty new touch-friendly interface. Probably the classic example is the trek you have to make, through two or three dialogs of nice-looking but most often useless new GUI, to a cryptic "Change adapter options" button and on to where Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections survives, still the vital dialog and still largely in its original late-'90s form. Oh, and then there's the decision that having separate default devices and default communication devices for audio is too nerdy, so hip young Windows 7 kids don't need to see anything about any default communication device in the shiny new sound GUI. Hilarity then ensues when the VR headset somehow automatically becomes the default-comms-device microphone and you mysteriously become barely audible on voice calls. Of course other big, important sections of the GUI (file permissions?!) seem to have been junked completely without any replacement.
