    Option 1: Admit your UI choices (made mostly to accommodate an all tablet PC future that never arrived) are terrible and redesign the Windows settings screens to display all new and old settings that still work, with search functions.

    Option 2: Spend tens of billions training an AI to find those settings and change them.

    Well done, Microsoft. I knew you’d make the right choice.

      Tell me this Ai is in-box and not external like all the others.

      If not, there’s gonna be a shed load of upset boomers who killed their net and can’t get it back.
