How to Add Disk Management to Control Panel in Windows 10
Services is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that allows you to start, stop, and configure service options. In modern Windows versions, it can be found in Administrative tools\Computer Management. In addition to this option, you may want to add it to the Control Panel, which is really useful if you prefer this classic tool over the modern Settings app.

And more. Also, interested users can create a list of installed services and save it to a text file, and delete a service. Additionally, you can quickly find services related to a process.
Services are not in the Control Panel by default, but you can add it there.
In Windows 10, Microsoft is moving everything from the classic Control Panel to the Modern app called "Settings". It has already inherited many options which were exclusively available in the Control Panel. If you prefer using the classic Control panel, you might want to add some extra applets to it to make it more useful.
In Windows, it is easy to add custom items to the Control Panel. Check out the following blog post:

Don’t forget to also mention, that the fastest way to get to Services in Windows 10 is to simply:
– Right click on the Windows icon bottom left corner
– Choose Computer Management
That’s true. Thanks.
That sounds great … but is there a way to “SAVE” the Control Panel if Windows actually does remove it in the future and force everything into their Settings?
I’m afraid there will be nothing to save if they remove the classic applets from the OS, not just hide them from the Control Panel.
To all at Winaero, I have downloaded all of your “Add to the Control Panel” tweaks; and I just want to say, thank you very much.
You are most welcome.
