How is it still such utter crap? It's been 6 years since the Settings app came out. The prior control panel basically was introduced in Windows 95/NT 4.0: http://toastytech.com/guis/win952.html. Six years before that is 1989, when Windows 2.1.1 came out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2.1x#/media/File:Windo.... The degree to which progress has slowed is remarkable. Especially for software that basically does the same thing the old version did (maybe even less work, given that devices today are more self-configuring).

Windows Vista brought another half-hearted control panel rework, where the settings pages were built into the control panel window instead of dialog boxes popping out of it.

Windows 10's 'Settings > System > About > System Info > Change Settings'.

Is Windows Vista's 'Control Panel > System > Change Settings'.

Is Windows 98's 'Control Panel > System'.
