Microsoft is now using a Windows driver to prevent users from changing the configured Windows 10 and Windows 11 default browser through software or by manually modifying the Registry.

You mean the windows setting sthey keep changing and burying the easy to use features with bloated garbage and 12 menus deep?

I still to this day right click the sound icon in the taskbar and and click sounds to modify my sound settings rather then that mess of shit they call ‘sound settings’

Almost like they made a shortcut straight to those settings…

The point is that the 20+ year old Sounds settings are still much easier to use than the new bullshit settings UI that keeps changing all the time.

I can’t find shit in the Windows 8/10/11 settings and still use the old settings wherever possible.
