Hey, at least Windows has really good backwards compatibility.

Everything I need is configurable through PowerShell for years. Why bother with UI? Win 7, 10 or 11 - it's all the same.

Can it list available settings that could be changed, because if so it is an almost perfect replacement for the settings app?

Because I don't have all the commands to do everything memorized. Also powershell versions and compatibility / features have changed a lot over the years.

Not to say that Powershell is a bad thing in any way, it is quite useful for the stuff I do at work. But it is a mess just like the rest of MS.

I've got fed up of them changing how many hoops you go through to get to the old settings so I have the .cpl commands memorized that work no matter what computer you're at

Appwiz.cpl ncpa.cpl for common examples
