windows 7-style control panel is one of the most non intuitive uis ever created
I agree.
We're both going to get downvoted but the settings app has a much better UI than control panel full stop. The problem is the years of development that have gone into it only for the settings app to redirect to the control panel anyway for 50% of the things you want to do because they still haven't been bothered to actually integrate everything directly into the app.
If you could actually do everything in the settings app that you could do in the control panel after 3 versions of windows I don't think it would be so universally disliked.
It's the same as M365, and they're always changing where things are located and renaming things. So stupid.
