Super Cool Windows 10 Features ..

HI Guys

Been a while since I have penned ..

I have been using Windows 10 for while now .. and it about time that I must admit..There are many many cool features that can make your life a lot easier..

I am going to try and put in 1 feature every day ( some features come from earlier versions as well)

Today's Feature

1. GodMode:

Right Click on your Desktop -> create a new folder ->  and name it

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

The icon will change to


Just Double Click ..enjoy the surprise...Extremely handy on personal laptops where You are the "BOSS"


2. Steps Recorder

Click on windows button , type in Steps Recorder you will get


Start Recording.

When  you stop, it will generate .zip file containing .mht file.

This file can be shared with anyone and opens in browsers.


3. "Where "

This is a windows command to search for the path of a file.


C:\>where system.ini
C:\Windows\system.ini

Restriction , it does search a folder , and the directories in the PATH variable will only be searched.

for recursive search

where /R

where /R c:\ hosts
where /R d:\images abc*.jpg

4. Minimizing Open Windows except the one you are working on


Left Click on the header (blue) bar and keeping it pressed just give it a shake and u will see all the other windows minimizing.
Do the same again and they will all open again.

5. Windows TrackPad (Mouse Pad /Touch Pad on your laptop ) Features


  • Tap one finger on the touchpad: Select an item (same as left-clicking a mouse).
  • Tap two fingers on the touchpad: Show more commands (same as right-clicking a mouse).
  • Swipe up or down with two fingers: Scroll a page up or down.
  • Pinch or stretch out two fingers: Zoom in or zoom out (magnify or shrink).
  • Swipe up with three fingers: Show all recent activity and open windows via Windows Timeline.
  • Swipe down with three fingers: Minimize everything and show the desktop.
  • Swipe left or right with three fingers : Switch between all windows that are currently open (same as Alt+Tab).
  • Tap three fingers on the touchpad: Open Cortana/search.
  • Tap four fingers on the touchpad: Open Action Center.
  • Swipe left or right with four fingers: Switch between all virtual desktops.

6. Cloud Clipboard


We all are used to pasting what was last copied , but how would it be if you were to see last 7 to 8 thing that you copied using Ctrl+C..... 
Here's what you need to do 

Click on Windows -> Settings -> System and scroll down to Clipboard and turn on History option on the right hand pane and you are all set.

Use Window key + V (instead of Ctrl V) to see history choose and paste.
