Can confirm, want to change your domain or computer name?
Windows 7/10: control panel , system , computer name tab.
Windows 10 /11: control panel, system, windows settings, advanced system settings, old system control panel, computer name tab.
That many steps? WindowsKey+Break > Change computer name.
If you’re okay with three steps, on Windows 10 and newer, you can right click the start menu and generally open system. Just about any version supports right clicking “My Computer” or “This PC” and selecting properties, as well.
Open Start or hit Win+R- type sysdm.cpl. Done. They kill off the easy to click icon in Control Panel, but they leave the stuff in still. I doubt they’ll remove them. Or at least hope not, lol. Settings is such a cluster to go through.

Why add a middle man??

win+X, then the letter for system. probably s or y but not sure. i use win+x, a all the time for an admin ps window
I use powershell for this. I was just stating the click through steps.
But that would require effort to learn to do something different. And a lot of users are firmly against that notion.
Just like the new shitty right click menu. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel just because.
And there is no reason not to either. You would still be looking at the cli in Unix with that attitude.
I don’t know about that one, It would be really hard to teleconference though the terminal.
Especially considering we still have (more or less) the same CLI for decades at this point.
Bourne was from 1977-1979, bash which was heavily inspired/designed to replace was from 1989. It is still the default shell in ubuntu.

Next time I write my ver 5 of my admin program I’ll add that in!
