#23This is clearly a screenshot from Dev Home, an app that is already available to Windows 11 users.
The Advanced Settings page here just relates to some developer focused options, as that is the purpose of Dev Home.

#24Yes, all we need, another layer in Windows. I recently went to Windows 11 and it is stunning that you still have multiple places for settings. How are we going to name the classic settings? Classic classic control panel?
Hey, don't stop them now - I'm having a great time watching Windows independently recreate every complaint about Linux GUIs:D If you thought QT/GTK was bad, wait 'til you see multiple styles and not-quite-overlapping settings panels from a single company!

Don't forget about 'netsh' and all the PowerShell cmdlets and objects that can manipulate windows settings..... The CLI is all we really need... If Microsoft can expose all settings via CLI or PS, then folks will build the advanced config UIs for them!
That is what Nano Server is all about.
Windows has always offered control via COM interfaces to system settings.
