Missing features in windows 10 or i haven't searched good enough ?
I upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10 , strangely i am getting the sense this was more of a down grade where please let me discuss some features i am missing and if there were any way i can toggle them back :
1 - Monitored Connections could be easily accessed on near by Wifi list toggled by clicking the Wifi icon near clock and used to display data consumption since last reset , this option still exists in windows 10 ?
2 - in Settings > Network & Internet > Data Usage : data usage is monitored this day to one moth back , this is entirely useless since usually people try to monitor their usage since last bill , windows 8.1 allowed resetting of counter in any specific day so the counter can report useful data you can use , any way to toggle that back ?
3 - Audio Mixer was replaced by a unified volume slider where to access mixer you have to do few clicks now , honestly if the idea was to simplify things most laptops / tablets nowadays boost hardware volume buttons or at least preset Fn keys so technically you would hardly need to use the volume icon but to access the mixer , researching this revealed that there was a registry tweak , after applying it i found out that actually it just replaces the aero unified volume slider by a system unified one which has a link to mixer , now that is still few clicks away , any mean to directly access the mixer in less hassle ?
4 - Near by Wifi list often crashes for me or show empty where i need to restart to fix it which is a pain , researching this turned out to be a global thing where alot of forums posted a fix and tried to relate this glitch to setting up a vpn pre-upgrading to windows 10 , i never had a vpn , and the fix did report that it can't find the registry keys required to delete , now is there anyway to like reloading wifi component than just restarting the system ?
Happy Holidays and thanks in advance
