Windows 10: I am just here to voice my displeasure of the planned removal of the control panel and...

First of all why, what harm is it doing? does it take up that much space to keep? why remove it.

Second of all, WHY! it is far more functional then the settings app, It is far easier to navigate, and it is just easier in every way. control panel with small icons is the only way to go.

Thirdly, WHY BLOCK 3RD PARTY SOLUTIONS! **** is your malfunction, the day this update rolls mainstream will be the day I stop updating. any removal of features is not an update at all.

The removal of users and groups for windows home users was an annoying piss off already, I just dont understand why they want to remove features from windows. features that have been their for decades, and function far better this this setting app BS.




Anyways, I dont expect a meaningful response, would be surprised if there is one, i imagine this post will be removed, but you all as far as i could see have no way to give you guys real feedback obviously, otherwise your OS team would not be making dumb decisions like this

:)
