Today it became official news, the rumor that Microsoft wanted to stop the Control Panel from Windows. In fact, Microsoft wants us to learn the new settings and forget about all the other PC management tools.
Mr. Gabriel Aul, who is Vice President, WDG Engineering Systems team στη Microsoft και ο εκfaces for the Windows Insiders program, confirmed today that the classic Control Panel (control Panel) is about to die in the near future:
The existence two διαφορετικών εφαρμογών σημαίνει περισσότερη πολυπλοκότητα κώδικα και χρήση του δίσκου / μνήμη. Η γνωριμία με το ένα είναι πιο λιτή.
@billybobjoe2211 @brandonleblanc Having two separate implementations means more code complexity and disk / mem usage. Getting to one is leaner

This is indeed bad news for all the users who preferred to use the classic control panel and avoided using it application "Settings".
Personally, I find the Classic Control Panel faster, more advanced, more suitable for the mouse and keyboard, and better organized by the Settings app. OR
Settings application is slower and requires more clicks or typing to change something because it is organized into categories and pages. It also requires more scrolling due to its design to be friendly to touch products and many of the settings are simplified in such a way that some advanced settings have been eliminated.
Metro controls used in setting application are not at all mouse or keyboard friendly and use even colors it's depressing. The Settings app is acceptable for touch devices, but for users with a classic keyboard + mouse, it's a disaster.
The next big upgrade to Windows 10 is expected in November of 2015. It is not clear when exactly the Control Panel will be removed from Windows 10 but we know that the new Start menu does not have a corresponding link for the Control panel to open it.
