Is Windows Search indexing enabled on your machine? Indexing must be enabled (Windows Search service must be running).
Also, make sure the following folder is being indexed by Windows Search:
%LocalAppdata%\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\xx-XX
where xx-XX is differently named depending on the language. It's part of the appdata folder is included in the user profile.
Open Control Panel -> Indexing Options. Make sure the above mentioned folder is being indexed. If not add this folder to the index by clicking the Modify button. You may have to expand folders quite a bit under the treeview to get to this folder.
C:\Users\<Your user name>\AppData\Local\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\en-US
Also, AppData folder might be hidden so once you get to C:\Users\<Your user name>, Appdata may not be listed in the Indexed Locations box. To fix this, close the dialog and close Indexing Options. Then you can unhide the Appdata folder from an elevated command prompt by giving the command:
attrib %userprofile%\appdata -h -r -s
Then open Indexing Options in Control Panel again.
Add the above mentioned folder to your search index.
Once Windows finishes indexing this folder, PC Settings from your C: drive should show up in Classic Start Menu search results.
