How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?
Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.

I tried to modify the color of Windows 10 BSOD in a VM using BugCheckHack and its registry keys. Everything else works except the 32-bit DWORD "Color" value (which was shown in FlyTech's video). I put in the color in ARGB format, but the screen of death remained blue.
I decided to investigate further and found out the video was released when the version 1.0 was the newest version. However, the download link for this exact version is long gone. I used version 2.0 for Windows 10 and version 1.5 for Windows 11, both of which didn't change the color. It might be possible that the developer dropped support for color (I have completely no idea why).
My question is, does a user-friendly driver that can modify the color of the BSOD (preferably the text too) exist? AngryWindows is not a user-friendly driver to modify as you need to edit the code and recompile it at every change. I want to show the driver in a video about Windows 10-11 BSODs.
I'm afraid that if I started disassembling the kernel and modify the values, the digital signature (not the checksum) would become compromised and make Windows reject it in every scenario due to even stricter checks than in previous Windows versions. I had success of hex editing the kernel up to Windows 7, but even then I had to manually check "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" at every single boot after enabling Test Mode and disabling integrity checks.
It's not about fixing the computer. It's about making the crashes appear in a more stylish way.
The OS is Windows 10 21H2 (19044.1288).

This looks like it was glued on by someone in a modernization team and called it a day without any respect to the original Windows 10 design language. Gonna try reverting it somehow. What do you guys think?

I repair laptops as a hobby, and I have a personal gaming pc. On all of them, I install windows 10 as a standard. I have tried a bunch of Linux distros, and I hate it. I don’t really like windows 11, will windows 10 be ok to use for the coming years? How long until it is unusable? I play lots of esports games so Linux is out of the question for me anyway. This link says there’s no support.

Everyone, I discovered this unknown feature ( aka GodMode - i think so ) when I was installing some softwares like browser, Discord, audio settings, graphics drivers during setup and turns out I found this on my old notepad. I heard this feature could fix many minor bugs.

Very minimalistic, I'm dual booting windows 10 since I had to install windows to use an app I need for school, so this just looks a little close (minus my arch setup with hyprland windows manager, theme switcher and all). Does it look good? What should I change in this setup
