For example when I tried to remove a printer via the Windows settings screen, the printer couldn’t get removed whereas the classic control panel allowed me to remove the printer. I have found that for certain settings, which appear in both screens, managing the settings in the classic control panel will sometimes fix issues that can’t be fixed with the Windows settings screen. In fact, some settings only appear in the classic control panel while certain other settings appear only in the Windows settings screen and still other settings will appear in both. The answer is yes, you can totally still use the classic control panel. You might wonder if it’s still ok to use the classic Windows 10 control panel while Microsoft has decided to introduce the Windows settings screen. In order to make it easy for you to access the Control Panel, you can add Control Panel to the start menu or to the Taskbar.Why Windows Settings VS Windows 10 Control Panel?
