How to manually edit Network Connections in Build 10049

In Build 10049 of Windows 10 Technical Preview, if I try to open the Network Connection properties on an Ethernet or WLAN network, I get “An unexpected error occurred.”

 

This makes it difficult to manually edit my Network Connections, view my IP address, set a static IP address, or set a DNS Client Server address.  How can I resolve this?

This works;    gave me a hard time until I figured out to forget about reading the Microsoft web page.

Powershell

set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Wi-Fi 2" -ServerAddresses 208.67.222.222,8.8.8.8,208.67.220.220,8.8.4.4
