Microsoft prepares to remove the Classic Control Panel in Windows 10
According to a discovery recently made by Rafael Rivera, Microsoft is hiding or removing classic control panel in the new insider versions, it would not be too long to see this change publicly.
Microsoft has been gradually transferring options that were previously found in the Control Panel to the Configuration application, offering the same functionality but in a new design and with a new name. For now, Microsoft seems to be taking its time, since the jump from the classic Control Panel to the Settings application has been quite gradual. The company is also silent on the matter, as it has not announced when the old Control Panel will eventually disappear entirely.
The next feature update for the 2004 build version of Windows 10 will be released this fall, and it will bring several of the features that insiders are testing. It is not yet known if it will be the one that ends up completely getting rid of the Control Panel as they are testing right now, but it would not be something that will take us by surprise if it happens. We will keep you informed.

Microsoft had the chance to have two sizes for the same Control Panel i.e. one for touch screen and one for desktop users. Unfortunately, we have 3 different views now: Windows 10 CP, Category, Large/Small icons. Usually, stuff like this happens when someone new comes to the team with little clue about existing features of the product, then immediately starts to duplicate functionality instead of improving it. Now, as a result, they have to remove feature, which is liked by many. Microsoft management made a lot of stupid decisions with Windows 8 and these are consequences.
