I still type appwiz.cpl into search to open the old add and remove programs box to uninstall or see whats installed. I am not a fan of the newer looking one at all located in the new settings area. It is pretty funny that they have been working on trying to fully replace all the old windows elements since the beginning of 10 and still not even close. Even funnier that when it is replaced the old stuff still gets left behind and not removed either.

New ui stuff is so shit. Dozens of clicks. Always moving around. Annoying af

I absolutely hate the network settings now as well. Its now easier to just get cmd to find out my IP if needed instead of getting to the adapter and open to see the info and up time. Its just extra steps to do that same thing now and i always forget what to click on when under the new settings network page. If anything it should just be info displayed there by default which would be nice...

win+r, enter, ipconfig, enter. How I do it in actuality haha

I am too lazy to do that and just keep control panel pinned to my taskbar.
