What is Hidden Windows 10 Features?
Hidden Windows 10 Features brings selected Windows 10 registry settings into a graphical interface. Use it to add Recycle Bin, Control Panel or Administrative Tools to This PC, hide folder shortcuts, show seconds on the taskbar clock or add Copy to, Move to and Open with Notepad to file context menus. It is intended for changing specific Windows behaviors rather than editing registry entries manually.
Other controls cover disabling autorun or Windows Script Host, requiring Ctrl+Alt+Delete at sign-in, disabling Compatibility telemetry or Bing search in the Start menu, and disabling Caps Lock. The publisher also describes exporting settings for transfer to another computer or backup before further changes.
The publisher lists Windows 10 and both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures; the linked download is the 64-bit EXE for version 1.3.1. These settings alter operating-system behavior, including security-related features. Choose changes deliberately rather than treating every switch as an improvement. Windows 11 compatibility is not established by the cited product page.
What it offers
- Add system shortcuts to This PC or hide its folder shortcuts.
- Adjust taskbar transparency and show seconds on the taskbar clock.
- Add Copy to, Move to and Open with Notepad entries to file context menus.
- Change selected sign-in, autorun, telemetry, Start-menu search and keyboard settings.

Good to know
- The publisher lists Windows 10 only; the cited evidence does not establish Windows 11 support.
- Settings modify Windows registry-controlled behavior, including options that disable Windows Script Host or other features; changes are not simply cosmetic.
- This download is the x64 package, not a 32-bit installer.
