He's not angry that it changed, he's angry that the new settings interface doesn't let him fix the issue at all, and while he used to be able to easily access the old interface so he could fix it the old way, MS has now hidden that ability too. If not for some user-hostile magical incantation, printing would have been permanently broken. Who wouldn't be seriously annoyed with this situation? How many non-technical users would have chucked a perfectly good printer because of a poorly executed software change? The Windows control panel UI transition has been a serious boondoggle from the start.
- nickelpro 3y agoThe article doesn't specify what the issue was, neither you or I can say what the best way to fix the problem would be, if it required something specific of the old panel unable to be accessed via more appropriate or modern tooling. I suspect this is on purpose.
- magicalhippo 3y agoWell I still need to access the good old control panel each time I long on to a new machine, since the new settings app thing still doesn't have all the regional settings. Quite basic stuff, at least it's still available in the old control panel for now.
