Don't you ever have to change sound settings? Because I have to deal with that every week, and have to dig through 3 different style of UIs and several different windows/dialogs to get to what I need.

Everything related to control panel / settings is a giant mess, and it's often really hard to find the settings you want, especially if you don't already know where it is. Some things is in the new UI, some in an old UI.

It's actually one of the main reasons why I really don't want to use Windows for my home laptop. Windows does have it strengths, and I don't mind using it at work, but I really don't want any of that bullsh*t when I get home from work.

Right click on the volume icon > Sounds - goes straight to the old XPish UI, which offers most if not all settings.

Because this exists, I've never understood why they made another one, but missing half the options

Can you explain what sound settings are you changing?
