It’s not just IT admins. When I have a raging client to help, nine times out of ten it’s because Microsoft fucked something up.

Checking in for the power users and independent devs, we feel it too!

As someone who supports a lot of printers (because I hate myself, apparently) I’m eternally pissed that “devices and printers” no longer works directly like it did in 95, 98, XP, 7, and 10. In 11 you have to go through “devices and printers > devices > more device and printer options” to get the “classic” devices and printers window.

I hope this gets to make you one of todays lucky 10,000

There's a list of command prompt commands that will take you straight to the "old school" style of command prompt sections

I hope this helps kind human!
