I normally don't use anything from windows 10 uwp - but I am fairly sure 
the Toggle switch is available.

Also "re-inventing"  - if you are not willing to write a custom widget 
then you will either have to wait until some future version that has the 
control built-in or make do with the checkbox.  You must be aware that 
for many many years the checkbox was all that was available on all 
platforms.  It seem to work just fine.  The switch is a new UI 
development as are many others.  I happen to like it - but many others I 
don't believe add anything other than change for changes sake.  That 
said, I believe the current toggle switch conveys the action of being 
"on or off" very well.
