This question is just about how to develop an WPF app with control styles exactly matching with Windows 10 Settings APP. In windows 10 setting App have different styles for comboboxtoggle button slider control etc.

Are these custom style available right away to use from Microsoft(.NET platform)? Or I need to work my ass off to match these windows controls.
Or any other third party extension or tool available for the same.
All the suggestions are welcome :)

Answer;

The easiest way would be to create your apps as Windows 10 UWP apps of course.
But if you want to stick with WPF, there are several libraries already available (and you'll possible find more if you dig deep into the web). The two I know from the top of my head are:
The first one giving you more UI controls, the second one is focusing on the new Windows 10 controls like SplitView and RelativePanel.
A good place to get you started layout-wise if you want to create your own controls, is dig into the styles for these existing controls (if you installed the 8.1 and 10 SDKs).
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\winrt\xaml\design
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\DesignTime\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\UAP\10.0.10240.0\Generic
