I hate the forced UWP/Metro/Tablet UI in Windows 10/11, I wish they kept at least the Control Panel.

How did you get rid of the tab bar in Explorer++?

Working on de-metroifing the Windows UI (and maybe making it 100% usable without DWM)

Windows Server 2012 R2 IS basically a stripped down version of Windows 8.1.
