windows 10 control panel

Great help.......thanks.....I wonder why Microsoft did not installed it automatically....

 

Control Panel vs. Settings?

I prefer control panel. I found it after digging around and sent a shortcut to start.

Questions:

1. I know MS is looking to get rid of control panel in favor of settings. However, is it possible to add control panel to the start right click list?

2. Is there a way to change settings display so it lists the traditional icons?
