Or they could just stop screwing with it?

Every windows update makes the strips a function from the control panel and ads something not quite as good to the settings app.

After the last update the settings app even has ads for 'bing rewards points' in it. Which appear to be impossible to remove.

I need to look harder at getting one of the commercial versions of windows that only gets security updates, but no feature updates, because I've come to hate and fear upgrades.




They've made a mess, they should clean it up.

I get it, all practical evidence seems to be that they're completely incompetent and this is impossible and any attempts to clean it up will inexplicably make it worse, but the fact that's the state of affairs at a two trillion dollar company is absolutely ridiculous.


The updates/upgrades on Windows 10 were particularly bad- i was a late adopter and still ran into an unfixable black screen on startup. not good.
