GodMode in Windows 10 - access to all possible settings
On the desktop, create a folder with the name  “spec-komp.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” 
Now let’s see what you get.
Now you can find all possible settings for your operating system. It gives you an extended functionality for your control panel.

Cloud-based Protection 
In order to enjoy real-time protection, you need to adjust Windows Defender so that it sends data on potential security threats to Microsoft where experts will deal with these messages. 
To do it, go to Settings / Update and Security / Windows Defender and click “On” in the Cloud-based Protection section.
Ready.

Updating from local networks
Previously, all updates for the operating system  were always downloaded directly from Microsoft servers. In Windows 10, there is an additional opportunity to donwload updates from other computers which downloaded them earlier.
Go to Settings / Update and Security / Advanced options / Choose how updates are delivered.
This is where you can choose where to receive and with whom to share Windows 10 updates.

A new tool to manage apps
Windows 10 developed a new tool named “Apps and Features.” It can help you - not only to get rid of unnecessary software but also to see how much space each of them occupies on your hard disk. It gives you a good alternative to the old applet “Uninstall or change a program.”
Go to Settings / System / Apps and Features.
Ready. Now you have a more flexible and convenient  tool to uninstall or modify applications.

Storage
It gives you detailed information on where you disk space has gone, and helps you to clean it from temporary files, junk files and unnecessary apps. 
You can also change the default location to save documents, music, images and videos. 
Go to Settings / System / Storage.
For example, let’s see how much space on disk C is occupied by images, and delete the ones we don’t need. 
Ready.
Now let’s get new photos and videos to be saved to disk D.
Ready.

Offline maps
It will be useful for travelers who often need to find their location or a certain place, while they don’t have access to the Internet. 
Go to Settings / System / Offline maps and click on “Download maps.”
For example, let us choose “Europe” - “Albania.”
Wait for the download to be complete.
Ready. The application has downloaded the map of this country onto the hard disk and you can use it for navigation now.

Data usage analysis
This feature allows you to see which application is eating up your traffic most. In general,  you can see where your traffic has gone.
Go to Settings / Network & Internet / Data usage / Usage details. 
You can see the list of programs and the traffic in megabytes which they have used. 

Disable Quick Access
By default, Windows 10 starts the Explorer in Quick Access tab.
This is how it works.
If you want the tab “This PC” to be active at once, then click View / Options and in the tab “General” select “Open File Explorer to: This PC” and click OK.
Check it. 
Ready.

Adjust the size of Start menu
In Windows 10, users can adjust the size and location of the Start menu.
Go to Settings / Personalization / Start and activate the option “Use Start full screen.”
Check it.
Now you know how to choose the variant of the Start menu that’s most convenient for you.
