- Go to Start Menu->Settings->Personalization and then select Themes from the left window panel. (or use the Windows search and type Personalization)
- Click the Desktop Icon Settings option from the left menu.
- In the new window make sure that the Control Panel option is checked.
- Now you have a Control Panel Shortcut on the Desktop from which you can start the Windows classic control panel.
Note: In Control Panel you can choose Large Icons in the upper right corner of the window to display the old style Windows XP control panel icons.
This explains how to get a desktop icon, NOT how to change to classic view. Please change the title to a more accurate description. Windows 10 is frustrating enough!
