Table of contents:
Windows in general, in all its versions, hides a large number of tricks and secrets that allow you to get better performance and access to some modes, they are one of the best-known alternatives to enhancing the usability of the Microsoft operating system
"Of all the modes that we can access, there are two that happen to be the most interesting: one for giving access to a greater number of functions and another for being the key that allows us to solve more of a complicated situation: we are talking about God Mode in the first case and Safe Mode in the second and here we are going to teach you how to activate them."
Activate God Mode
God Mode is like a Control Panel>, a hidden system menu with a large number of options and tools, which are not activated by default. God Mode is present since Windows Vista and lasts in the days of Windows 10."
Activating it allows, for example, the ability to manage users, modify the taskbar... in such a way that we are going to increase the configuration and customization possibilities of Windows in a notable way. And although activating God Mode may not be a secret to many, here we are going to detail the steps to achieve it
The first step is none other than log in with the main user account in order to have administrator privileges. Once logged in, we will place ourselves on the desktop and click with the right mouse button, selecting New and Folder Yes, we are going to create a new folder on the desktop."
Once the folder is created, we change its default name to this other, the one mentioned in gray. What comes after the point must always be a fixed factor, it cannot be changed, something that does not happen with the name and instead of God Mode we can put whatever we want.
We will then see how the folder icon and the name change, now being a kind of blue icon over the name Mode God (in this case) and also the name by God Mode.
With the new icon on the screen, now what we will have to do is double click on it to open a new window that offers a large number of configuration and customization options of Windows 10.We can change almost any aspect, but be careful not to touch something we don't know about, because along with simple actions related to the aspect, there are other options that can alter the way the system works.
A large number of options available in a single window that will greatly facilitate the configuration and customization of our equipment to our liking and needs, but it is only the first mode. Now let's see how to access Safe Mode.
Enable Safe Mode
A classic within Windows and surely a mode that you have either heard of or used on occasion. With Safe Mode what we do is request> in which only the programs, files, and drivers that are needed for the PC to function are loaded, regardless of those that we have installed afterwards.The goal of Safe Mode is to help us determine where the root of a problem is and proceed with the solution."
And to activate it, the steps we must follow are to enter the Configuration Menu, in the lower left corner and once inside, click on the section Update and security ."
We must then look for the button Recovery>Advanced startup”. Select and press the button Restart now."
The device will start to restart and will show us several options on the screen, “Choose an option”, of which we will be left withSolve problems."
We will see how the possibility of choosing appears within Advanced Options>Restart."
Once rebooted, you will see a list of options and just press F4 to Start Safe Mode "
We can do this from the computer, but What if it doesn't turn on? We can also access Safe Mode from the screen not in black, and these are the steps.
Without despair, you should press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to shut down your computer.
Again we turn it on by means of the button and when Windows has started, hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn it off again. This step must be repeated two more times and it is about forcing the shutdown of the PC while it boots.
"On the fourth time, the PC will reboot completely, but we will see that the Windows Recovery Environment is activated. From among all the options we mark “Choose an option” and follow the route Solve problems and then Advanced Options"
"We must look for “Startup configuration” and then click on the button “Restart” Once it restarts, you must press F5 to enter the Safe Mode From that moment you can use the computer with the basic applications and functions ."
