Would prefer the W11 broken GUI enforcers to be "deprecated" instead of the WMIC.
It is sooo much pain to re-write and re-debug 10+ years of code instead of building new useful code. From where comes this trend of destruction?

    You can still use PowerShell and CIM instead of WMI. Not too much changes.

      Thanks to Microsoft deprecators I still need to rewrite some 10+ years of scripts and you can add to it "netsh".
      It is like an attempt to glue together a broken tempered glass window.

      Microsoft has resources. People on the receiving end have only one life. 
      It is a profoundly unfair "competition".
