Long live the PowerShell. Yes, old control panel was much more manageable. Most of the important settings have been hidden from the end-user these days.



I am normally a Linux or MacOS user exclusively, but recently I reinstalled Windows 11 on my somewhat recently purchased Lenovo Yoga 7i. I tried to get as far as I could getting as much of my configuration codified with PowerShell in a git repo[0].

I got really far with it and the end result was super nice, I thought! But a lot of the stuff I wanted was very deeply buried.

Also, the defaults that Microsoft assaults Windows users with are insane! I can't believe what Microsoft gets away with.
