4. Add Additional Clocks
Manage multiple time zones easily:
- Right-click the clock, select Adjust date and time, then go to Additional clocks and add up to two more time zones.

Speed up your system’s boot time:
- Open Settings > Apps > Startup to toggle unnecessary apps off. High-impact apps are marked to help you decide.
6. Enable Dark Mode
Give your eyes and battery a break with dark mode:

7. Clean Up Your Disk
