Its the politicians fault, if they wouldn't agree on laws that try to protect the privacy of people then they wouldn't need to obscure the settings because there wouldn't be many at all. Windows is a shitshow, i was already reluctant to use Windows 10 but now its a whole new level.
I can barely even set a static IP on Windows Server these days. I wiped out a partition the other day as well since the UI is so slow, its like it's using a REST api to do partitioning.
I feel you, it looks like there is at least 2 network setting "managers" now, one for the network adapter and one for the network but it doesn't even matter because after a windows update, chances are that those settings are gone anyways.
In server 2025 its gone I think.
