These settings are still there, and they still work. The Control Panel and gpedit.msc and PowerShell and all of the other places you do expert customization of your PC are still there for you.
People who dont have the knowledge to use these advanced settings effectively can just enjoy their devices. And for those who do want that power, it is there for them."
Some features are deliberately not where we've learned to expect them. It's a question of learning how to get out of the box into which we have been stuffed.
