A comment on Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel. Parent comment
For functionality. I prefer modern control panel over 3.x - and over Settings.
1) Settings has no applets I can pin to the start menu (ex: printers).
2) I can't be in two parts of Settings at the same time.
3) Commonly-used control panel options: In Settings they can be missing, neutered or moved+moved again.
4) Settings still reverts to control panel applets for some functions. Will those options still exist without a control panel? No one knows.
