>I have no idea why no one bothered to make a nice gui for this feature

Getting off-topic, but this remark can be applied to most aspects of Linux OS's tbh. We developers are too comfortable with the shell on Linux, whereas with it being such a pain on Windows, the devs themselves are more inclined to write small GUIs left and write to solve their problems.

Yes, I know. And it's sad. I'm also not a "gui" person, and couldn't make a useful graphical interface if my life depended on this.

But I'm especially confused as why this hasn't been built into Windows for years, especially considering how many people were e.g. hurt by "Autoplay" in the old days:

    You've plugged in a device that claims to be...
        [ ] a mouse (driver available)
        [ ] a storage device (driver available)
        [X] a soundcard (driver will be downloaded and installed)
    Tick any of the functions you want to activate, or press CANCEL
    if you don't want to activate any functions of this device, e.g.
    because it's a phone you just want to charge from your laptop.

(of course the wording is utter crap, but you might get the idea...)
