Today it became official news, the rumor that wanted Microsoft to stop the Control Panel from Windows. Essentially, Microsoft wants us to learn the new ones settings and forget about all other PC management tools.
Mr. Gabriel Aul, who is Vice President, WDG Engineering Systems team at Microsoft and Mrfaces for the Windows Insiders program, confirmed today that the classic Control Panel (control Panel) is about to die in the near future:
Having two different applications means more code complexity and disk usage / μνήμη. The acquaintance with one is more austere.

This is really bad news for all users who preferred to use the classic control panel and avoided using the "Settings" application.
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 app is slower and requires more clicking or typing to change something because it's organized into categories and pages. It also requires more scroll due to its design to be touch friendly and many of the settings are simplified so that some advanced settings have been eliminated.
Metro controls used in applying settings that are not at all friendly to the mouse or the keyboard and their use even the colors are depressing. The Settings app is acceptable for touch devices, but for users with the classic keyboard + mouse, it is a disaster.
The next major upgrade to Windows 10 is expected in November 2015. It is unclear exactly when the Control Panel will be removed from Windows 10, but we know that the new Start menu it does not have a corresponding link for the Control panel, so open it.
