"We set out to solve one of the most common frustrations we hear — finding and changing settings on your PC — using the power of AI agents," Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences at Microsoft, said in a blog post on Tuesday. "An agent uses on-device AI to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks."

I can barely even set a static IP on Windows Server these days. I wiped out a partition the other day as well since the UI is so slow, its like it's using a REST api to do partitioning.

God help you if you want to assign multiple addresses to the same adapter. It's like navigating a labyrinth.

I feel you, it looks like there is at least 2 network setting "managers" now, one for the network adapter and one for the network but it doesn't even matter because after a windows update, chances are that those settings are gone anyways.
