5 options hidden in Windows 10 you should know

Windows 10 has been with us for about a year, but even if you use the operating system since its release are still things. Here are five of our favorite hidden options we have discovered in the course of the year (and why we believe you should use).

1) Battery info hidden

If you are using Windows 10 on a tablet or laptop, then you will want to have a place in the battery levels something you can do in the notification area eye. There is also a more detailed report that will give useful information about the overall health of the battery and usage time between charges.



Right-click the Start menu button, then choose Command Prompt (Admin) and writes
powercfg / batteryreport / output  "C: \ battery_report.html" in the command window. Open the HTML file to get a lot of statistics and useful information about your battery. There are different versions of this report is also available in previous Windows.

2) Print PDF

It's not the most exciting feature of Windows 10, but might work very useful and saves time and hassle of having to waste time with plug-ins that do the same. Microsoft tried to force their XPS format in Windows 8, but no longer. Now you can choose an output format that you know everyone will be able to open and view.



With any program you want to print (a standard desktop program or a universal application), choose Microsoft Print to PDF from the list of available printers. There are not many print options, but that can be an advantage. Just choose the file name and location and be all set. Microsoft Edge opens PDF files if you need to check the result.

3) direct access to God Mode

The shortcut "God Mode" is another trick that has been present for several generations of Windows, and continues here on the new operating system so it should be in our list. Unfortunately, not turn it into a whole sees and knows everything be omnipotent, but gives you quick and easy access to some of the key parts of the Windows operating system.



Create a new folder where you look (the desktop works without problems) and name God Mode. {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (You can replace "God Mode" with whatever you want). Double-click the newly created folder and can play with the settings of all devices, networks and connected displays, among other things.

4) Tablet Mode

If you are not using Windows 10 on a tablet, then you may not know that there is a tablet mode that can be activated at any time and that brings a simpler design, a startup screen to Windows 8 style and optimizations for touch control screen (so it can be very useful if you are running Windows 10 on a laptop or an all-in-one with a touch screen).



Click the icon to display notifications sidebar Activity Center and then select the tablet mode to make the change. To play a few additional settings, go to the Settings app Windows 10 and then to tablet mode. The menu allows you to choose, for example, if the application icons or not displayed on the taskbar.

5) Xbox Screen Recorder

Windows 10 comes with its own software screen recording. It is designed to record your exploits in a game, but can be used to record almost anything that happens on the screen. Xbox launches the application from the Start menu or the taskbar and then go to the configuration panel (through the gear icon) to set your craving Game DVR options.



Changes to the program you want to record and use the key combination Win + G to open the recording console (you can also use keyboard shortcuts to start and stop recording). The recording is limited to the current window, but still a useful way to capture an instructional video, something strange that has appeared on Twitter and stuff.
