Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows 7 this month and is now pushing for the use of the Windows 10 operating system.
Now you have been using this operating system for many years or have recently upgraded it, but it has many tips, tricks and secret features that most people do not know.
For example, you can discover a secret menu in it, while you can also find a truck to save the battery power of a laptop.
These secret features are not usually made public by Microsoft, which is why most people are not aware of them.
So here are some features that you will definitely like.
Minimize all windows except the active window
If the number of open windows on the desktop screen is too large, you can immediately manipulate them and just keep open the one you are working on, for this purpose press the Windows button and the Home button together, So the window that opens in front of you will remain open, while the other windows will go down.
Open the ‘Secret Menu’
You may know the Start Menu in the bottom left corner of the screen, but Windows 10 has another Start Menu that gives you access to key features like Command Prompt, Control Panel, and Task Manager. There are 2 different ways to use it, namely by pressing the Windows key and X or by right-clicking on the Windows icon / Start button.

If the storage of computers or laptops starts to decrease, then the speed of these devices slows down. An easy way to increase their speed can be to get rid of apps that are taking up a lot of space and are not even used.
To do this, go to Settings, System and Storage and click on the drive you want to search (possibly ten PC local storage) and go to the Apps & Games option and see the list of installed apps and find out which one. The app is too large.
Get rid of ads in the Start menu
When Windows 10 is run with the default settings, you may see apps on the right side of the Start menu, which Microsoft calls Suggestions, but they are ads for Windows Store apps.
To get rid of these ads, go to Personalization and Start in Settings, then turn off Show Suggestions Occasionally Start.
Shut down background apps
