There is/was a new Windows 10 Control panel? I thought that was just the Settings app.

The settings app is the new control panel. There's just also the legacy control panel that they've been trying to remove for years. It's such a shit show that I've memorized the run string for the applets I have to use frequently, because it's a fucking nightmare trying to remember where they moved this in which version of the os.

Control printers

Huh, on Win 11 24H2 this opens the Modern Device and Printers instead of the control panel one.

Interesting. Guessing that probably means I need to find a new trick when I go to work on newer servers. Damned microsoft....
