You might remember the famous so called "Godmode" folder tweak which is extremely popular. The so called "God Mode" folder which is actually the Control Panel All Tasks folder is a way to view ALL the settings available in Windows in one place. The All Tasks folder is a hidden Control Panel folder in Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and even Vista. In Windows 8.1 and 10, a new app called "Settings" has started replacing most of the Control Panel settings. So what will happen to the God Mode folder? Well it turns out, you can view the new Modern PC Settings in a similar way by doing a few tricks. Here is how.
Windows 10 comes with the telemetry feature enabled by default which collects all sorts of user activity and sends it to Microsoft.

In Windows 10, many classic Control Panel options were moved to the Settings app. Many readers are asking me constantly if it is possible to have the good old tray icons (notification area) interface from the classic Control Panel.

If you are interested in using the classic tray icon options in Windows 10, here is what you can do.
In Windows 10, a number of users are trying to install .NET Framework 3.5 and facing an issue. While installing .NET 3.5 using DISM, it produces an error 14003 and gives some Microsoft-Windows-NetFx3-OnDemand-Package error 0x800736b3. Here is what you can do to avoid it.
In Windows 10, Microsoft has reinvented their Start Menu again and as everyone knows, it is not the usual Start Menu from Windows 7 but instead one which only somewhat retains the functionality of the original menu while adding some different features.

Let's see what they are.
In Windows 8.1, Microsoft added a secret hidden "Slide to shutdown" feature. Windows 10 also comes with this option. Slide To Shutdown provides a fancier user interface to shutdown Windows with a swipe. It was created for PCs and tablets with Connected Standby. Connected Standby is a power management feature similar to what smartphones have. Most Desktop PCs and x86 tablets do not support the Connected Standby sleep state.
