My problem is that it does this for Server versions as well.

- minkles 2y agoWe all learned to do it via powershell a couple of years ago because it's impossible to work out which thing to go to in the UI now. This sucks more.

- wjholden 2y agoI had been somewhat comfortable with the older `netsh` commands from Windows 7. The PowerShell commands are overall richer for being consistent and composable if you're already comfortable with PS, but it does require a learning investment. My general sentiment is that I am frustrated with tech companies imposing UIs on users. Some examples: Duolingo changed its interface to this new "learning path" that took choices away from users. Garmin updated its Connect app with a new UI that (I subjectively feel) shows less information and forces unnecessary compromises. Microsoft has been messing with the Control Panel for years. The new UI is missing a lot of settings. I don't agree with the Ars article that you only need the legacy Control Panel for esoteric features: I never figured out how to set a Static IP Address in the new Settings app, which is hardly unusual for servers. I trust it is possible to set a Static IP in the new UI, but I still feel like these changes are unnecessary and unwelcome. Anyways, I do hope the PowerShell commands will remain stable for the next 20 years.

- minkles 2y agohaha nope!
