You people just don't remember how god awful the interface everything was back then as well. What really drives the annoyed sentiment is that everyone can do better than Microsoft, like, literally a baby can do better interface
Interesting. I agree of course, but people will downvote rather than search their memory. 7 had awful settings in the beginning. Every single version of windows has had awful settings.
Windows 7's control panel is better than whatever the heck Microsoft is doing with 10/11 (for one thing it actually worked for changing settings) but holy crap was it a horrible UI
But even then it was always too long hunting for the right thing within Control Panel after the extra click to make it easier to find the setting you needed. That's my point. Compare that to your phone, or honestly even Windows 10's new settings menu if it actually consistently worked for changing settings
