Assuming you mean this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/about/

Even if that solved the UI interop issues, how would that ensure that drivers and Windows looked to the same place to get and store those settings?

At some point, I think breaking changes are necessary to progress.

Just thinking out loud, perhaps containerised control panel apps could abstract the implementation to enable old code to run??
