The whole point of the Settings "app" is to remove the user's ability to do anything on their own computer. The old (and far more functional) UI of the Control Panel won't get updated because Microsoft wants users to get scared when the unpretty UI appears.

That‘s like my bank saying „Hey, use our new website, the old one will be phased out in 6 werks“.

Me: „Ok, show me my bank statements“.

Bank: „That‘s only possible on the old site“.

Not a joke, sadly.

I've had a similar experience with my bank. There is no legacy site to fall back to anymore, sadly. I am still figuring out how to do things on the new site. Years after it was launched.
