    I can't stand Control Center. I hate how if I change power settings through Windows, Control Center will change most, but not all of them back. I hate how if I change the power options through Control Center, some don't stick (changing power button to sleep instead of hibernate, for example) and some don't take effect in Windows power options (I change to "performance" in CC, reboot, then find that windows power options still says balanced). I hate how it's constantly running in the background (both flexikey and control center). I hate how it's proprietary software in lieu of actual firmware, and therefore is required to be installed and running to turn on and off the keyboard backlight. I hate how it makes popups on the screen when you turn on and off things like airplane mode, stealing focus from even full-screen games if you happen to click that area of the screen by accident. I hate it and I'm uninstalling it. End rant.
