Not going to change. It's not broken, so there is nothing to fix. In case you weren't aware, after clicking on System Settings, click on "View" in the menu bar, or just simply use Spotlight. "View" makes it easier for me. Kudos to @Realityck for showing me the way...
Apple also needs to bring back Scott Forstall and Bertrand Serlett while they’re at it.
Yeah. I also use the “View” menu option as I can never find anything quickly using the new Sys Prefs.
OMG, can't you just update the da*n emoji font? Do we always need a full blown OS update for EMOJIS?!?
f-e-w-e-r. ok ...
Right before macOS 14.x, codename "Superbug", is announced at WWDC? Apple, can you please stop this update hell? Nobody needs it and nobody wants it. Some people excluded, for whom the meaning of life is to wait for new Apple features and install beta versions?
I should clarify; I meant will not change back to the old version of System Preference. My bad for not being more clear. I do agree that the current version can be improved. Time will tell if Apple chooses to do so.
Is it potentially a private relay or another security issue? I found this article
done that a number of times. Lots of fixes and workarounds available. None of them have worked for me. Hit and miss for other people.
I will agree to disagree.... Apple tried or is trying to make a preferences window for a mobile/tablet OS fit a desktop.. it's inefficient and messy....Look at network for example why is wifi not in that area, its separate ?
The fact that you can use Siri or spotlight search to immediate open up specific even nestled settings shows the old nestled 20 year old icon view is outdated. Yes since 10.2 thru Monterey it was like that. When I look at how limited the often compared iPadOS settings is and much scrolling involved that aren't even close to behaving in the same manner with usage. Also the view menu gives you 40 categories to start with for finding anything in settings. Any similarity is skin deep between mobile apple devices OS's and MacOS. Want to talk about forced system updates also that MacOS doesn't have.
Your rational is reminds me of the antenna gate your "holding it wrong" mentality. Yes, I'm well aware of the other ways of getting to certain settings. So you're basically saying they should just remove it because it doesn't work?The fact that you can use Siri or spotlight search to immediate open up specific even nestled settings shows the old nestled 20 year old icon view is outdated.

My first impression was, oh I have to relearn part of the MacOS usage, but upon further comments/observations from others it soon became apparent that they had made it even easier to use as the MacOS grows more sophisticated. Looking back you can see how old the control panels eventually renamed system settings really is.

Apple implements that many bugs and forces the users to install updates. Ventura, Exchange/Calendar/Mail Sync broken. Same for 13.1, 13.2, with 13.3 it works somewhat better, so will it be worse with 13.4 again? Will it be better? Will 13.4 add new bugs (certainly it will)?
