One secret about the Windows operating system is that it includes a built-in tool called “God Mode” which provides access to all of the operating system’s settings and features in a single location. To activate God Mode, create a new folder on the desktop and name it “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”. The folder will transform into a special control panel with shortcuts to various settings and configurations.
Another “secret” feature in Windows is the “Windows Key + X” shortcut, which brings up the Quick Link menu. This menu provides quick access to frequently used system tools and settings, such as the Device Manager, Disk Management, and the Command Prompt.
Another one is the Windows key + R. This shortcut opens the Run command, which allows you to quickly launch programs and access system files by typing in their file path.
Additionally, Windows has a feature called “Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)” which allows users to run Linux commands and programs directly on a Windows operating system. This allows developers to work in a Linux environment while still using their Windows computer.
Please note that these features are not exactly “secret” but more like lesser known features that can be useful for some users.
