Five Windows 10 Features That You Might Have Not Yet Heard About

Windows 10 has been making quite a noise since long before its release with people talking about some of its best features. It seems to have become a norm to talk about Microsoft's Edge browser, Cortana and a few other notable features while speaking about the latest operating system by Microsoft.

But what about the other features which are relatively smaller but very useful? So, without any further ado, here is a list of 5 features that you probably might have not yet heard of existing in Windows 10.

1. Record games and apps using Microsoft's new Game Bar-recording function

Yes. Windows 10 has a new Game Bar-recording function which allows users to not only record gameplay, but also to record any apps. However, the record feature won't work for system activities such as Notepad or Paint. Users can access all the saved videos in the Xbox app (Game DVR Section) or inside your specific user folder (Video > Captures).

2. Pin the Recycle Bin to the Start Menu.

Windows 10 allows its users to pin the Recycle Bin to the Start Menu with a very simple way; by just right-clicking on the Recycle Bin and select 'Pin to Start'. However, to recall, it was a pretty big story to make a quick shortcut to the Recycle Bin in Windows 7 and 8.

3. Uninstall nearly any app directly from the Start menu.

We all know how difficult it is to uninstall the applications in the previous version of Windows. But, at the same time, it seems we are accustomed to it now. However, with Windows 10, you can right-click any app in the Start Menu and select "Uninstall" to remove it. This includes traditional desktop applications as well as the new "modern" apps.

4. Lock your computer with your fingerprint.

From entering passwords to scanning our faces or iris, laptops and PCs have come a long way keeping security in mind as the average user is looking for better options to protect themselves. While phones have already started supporting fingerprint scanners, Windows 10 will probably take it to a new level. Yes. Windows 10 supports fingerprint scanners. But, of course, a fingerprint sensing hardware is needed for this to work which people won't have.

5. GodMode will get a lengthy list of commands to use and brings all the OS-control settings together in one folder.

If you enable GodMode on Windows 10, you will get a lengthy list of commands to use. GodMode brings all the OS-control settings together in one folder. Think of it as your administrative one­stop shop, rather than having to poke all around Windows in order to find Control panel settings and configurations.
