This is one of the most absurdly awful things in Windows 10. Trying to disable a network adapter requires navigating a maze of useless New Design(r) config pages (where, for example, the ONLY interaction is "set connection to Metered mode"), complete with broken back buttons that take you somewhere arbitrary.

Of all the complaints, that one I totally understand the rationale for. It's an iterative design, they simply haven't finished building the new one yet. Until they do, I ignore it.
It isn't exactly advertised as an incomplete alpha product. Everything in Windows 10 funnels you into the new interface. The fact that the first-class option for system configuration is woefully incomplete is pretty hard to forgive. This is the only supported version of the flagship product of a fortune 500 company, not an early-access Steam game.
Agreed, W10 has been out for years. Apparently it has hit maintenance mode before they could finish. Honestly I'd rather have the XP control panel, with no extra clicks.
- oh look, apple decided to change their security model. Now old apps don't work. (necessary to prevent malware).
- oh look, no more 32bit programs.
- oh look, you plugged in a monitor CRASH.
- oh look, you plugged in a charger... CRASH.
- oh look, a touchbar.
- let's all pay a $1000 premium for hardware.
On OSX backwards compatibility isn't a concern apparently.
Windows problems range from:
- Who installed this thing? And to where? WTF is it?
- Why is there 2+ interfaces for all system configurations. 1 of which is pretty but incomplete, and the other hidden and terrible but complete?
- Why does it insist on using edge and bing for fucking everything?
