Here's a Windows 10 tip you might want to try. 

If you are a power user or IT professional who wants access to all of Windows' control panels from one folder, this is for you (God Mode). 

Right-click on the desktop and select New > Folder. 

Re-name the new folder with this bit of code: (Copy all of the line in yellow and use it to rename the folder.)                          God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

To enter God Mode—or the "Windows Master Control Panel" shortcut, as it is officially called—simply double-click the folder.

Another good Windows tip:

Holding down the Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B forces a GPU reset without restarting your computer. This is useful if your screen freezes or you have graphics glitches.
