With Windows 8, Microsoft first introduced an alternative to the traditional Control Panel. The new Settings in Windows 10 (PC Settings in Windows 8/8.1) not only includes most of the settings and options available in the classic Control Panel but also has tens of settings and options that are not included in the Control Panel.

The Settings app is very well laid-out and is touch input friendly as well.

As said before, many of the Control Panel settings have not been moved to the new Settings app yet. Because of this, at times, after opening the Settings app, you might realize that a specific setting is present in Control Panel only.

    I do not like what you have done to the control panel classic view. I cannot get to what I want to change. It sucks. Why would you change this to the app. as it doesn’t work. I want to see the classic view when I open up the control panel.
