Just as in previous versions, Windows 10 has a God Mode, a symbolic name for what is actually a hub of configuration parameters and settings. One way or another, most of the elements found there can also be reached by other paths, but the God Mode is interpreted as the father of all shortcuts within the operating system, giving access to advanced settings with just a couple of clicks.
We are about to complete the first week with Windows 10 on our systems, and so far everything seems to be going quite well. We have even taken the trouble to apply some performance-oriented tweaks (in essence, most of the valid changes in Windows 7 and 8.x also carry over to Windows 10), but it is necessary to recognize that Microsoft has managed to polish the technical side of Windows a little more with each new instance. This customization process is fundamental for all users, since the goal is to print a personal style on Redmond's vision, and from there achieve a kind of compromise. On certain occasions, the intervention of external tools is required, but Windows 10 offers by itself an enormous amount of parameters, concentrated in what we have known for some time as God Mode.
Creating partitions, defragmenting disks, accessing system logs, autoplay values, scheduled tasks, default apps, printer configuration, ClearType calibration... all this and much more appears in Windows 10's God Mode, which fortunately is as easy to activate as in previous operating systems. All you have to do is create a new folder on the desktop and assign the name "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" (without the quotes). Instead of keeping the typical folder icon, this new element will adopt the same Control Panel icon, and if you want you can move it from the desktop to any other location. The only detail is that you cannot change its name, however, it is easily solved with a shortcut (and moving the original icon elsewhere).
As always, the classic recommendation: Be careful. Some options are more advanced than others, and the last thing we need is an operating system out of combat. Microsoft is still polishing Windows 10 (after all, it is a work in progress), and the mandatory updates in the Home edition carry the risk of a hotfix not entirely stable. Let's try not to add a wrong configuration to that.
