What can we do with the active scheduler mode?

Once we have restarted our PC we will have the programmer mode absolutely active, and we will be able to start using it. Next, we are going to clarify what options and functionalities this method offers us, available to any user, programmer or not, in Windows 10.

This mode is used, by way of example, so that the developers who work with universal apps in Visual Studio, can do it as normal And it is that by not having the option to activate it and use it, you could not even start a new project. The essence of the developer mode is that it makes it possible to install universal applications that are not found in the Windows Store or what is the same, the official Microsoft application store for Windows 10 and other versions of the popular operating system.

For a developer and programmer it is essential to be able install apps from outside the Windows Store, but it can also be interesting for any user, even though it can also be something truly dangerous, fundamentally if we install certain applications from which we do not know precisely where they come from.

Otra alternativa que nos da el modo programador es tener acceso a determinadas opciones del explorador de archivos que por defecto están más ocultas. Al mismo tiempo, gracias a este modo además es factible usar la consola Ubuntu Bash en Windows 10, algo que ya te enseñamos en este interesante post.

Scheduler mode is very useful and almost as dangerous

There is no doubt that the programmer mode is truly useful, for any programmer or developer, but also for any user since it gives you access to certain features and functions that can be of great advantage. Of course, when activating it you have to be very careful since it can be truly dangerous since it gives you access to Windows 10 as if you were a developer with the dangers that that implies.
