Windows 10 has been out for nearly a week and it has already seen more than 14 million downloads within the first day of its launch which is definitely an impressive achievement. Already installed on so many PCs around the World, Windows 10 has become the hottest computer OS gaining an edge over its predecessor. Although, the new OS brings in a lot of new features that you have never experienced in a Windows OS before but fret not because we’re here to teach you everything that you should know about the latest iteration of Windows.

Below are the 9 Windows 10 settings that you should tweak before starting your journey on the new operating system.

1. Customize The Start Menu

Windows 10 brings back the Start menu that was sacked with the release of Windows 8. The familiar old menu is now back and Windows users are loving it. The new Start menu looks amazing but old-school Windows users may find it a bit more overcrowded for their taste.

Microsoft has added live tiles similar to their Windows Phone and tablet mode into the Start menu.

If you are not a big fan of the tiles then you don’t have to keep them in your menu at all. You can easily get rid of them. Just open the Start menu, right click on any tile and select “Unpin from Start”. The tile will be removed from the menu. This way you can get rid of all the tiles and bring back the old look to your Start menu similar to Windows 7. Unpinning the tiles will not remove the corresponding app from your computer, if you want to completely remove the software then click Uninstall instead, this will instantly remove the application from your device.

2. Set-up The Way Updates are Delivered

Windows 10 automatically enables a feature that lets you download Windows updates from more than one source. This means that you can download updates from many PCs around the world in addition to Microsoft’s servers. This ultimately speeds up the download process and makes things easier for you, however, you also have to upload parts of updates for others to download. The uploading process works automatically though and you don’t have to do anything for it. If you’re really not interested in using your bandwidth to help other people get their update then you can easily turn this feature off.

Head over to Settings > Update & security

Now in the Windows Update section, click Advanced options

Now click Choose how updates are delivered

You can turn the feature completely off or just use it to deliver updates to the PCs on your local network instead of the whole internet.

If you have multiple computers in the house then choosing the “PCs on your local network” option will save you bandwidth by downloading the updates once and pushing them to all the computers on the local network.

3. Enable GodMode

This is the perfect feature for power users of Windows OS. Anyone can try the GodMode just make sure that you are careful and don’t mess with the settings too much because this may lead to a corrupted operating system on your device. Activating the GodMode brings all different settings of your computer in one single place where you can tinker with each setting and perform different functions. The GodMode gives you complete control over your Windows PC and you can do anything you want.

To enable GodMode, just create a new folder anywhere you want and name it the following “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” get rid of the quotation marks. When you create the folder, it will turn into a new file with a different icon. Open it and you will be inside the GodMode where everything is in your hands, so be careful because “Great power comes with great responsibility”  – Spiderman’s Dead Uncle Ben.
