Windows "God Mode"

Wait... what!?

Yep. "God Mode" is a sort of hidden feature in Windows. Though what it does is not as impressive as it sounds.

It offers a convenient way for users to access a wide range of system settings and control panel options from a single folder. It doesn't really grant any special administrative privileges or "god-like" powers, it simply consolidates many of Windows' configuration tools into one place.

How to Enable "God Mode" ​

  1. Create a New Folder:

    • Right-click on your desktop (or any folder location) and select New > Folder.
  2. Rename the Folder:

    • Copy and paste the following text as the folder's name:
    GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
    • Press Enter to save the name.
  3. Access GOD Mode:

    • The folder icon will change to a control panel-like icon. Double-click it to open it.
    • Inside, you'll see a list of hundreds of system settings, tools, and options, all organized into categories.

What Can You Do with "God Mode"? ​

God Mode provides access to almost every configuration option in Windows, including:

  • System Settings: Display, power options, user accounts, etc.
  • Network Settings: Network adapters, sharing options, etc.
  • Hardware Settings: Device Manager, printers, sound settings, etc.
  • Administrative Tools: Disk management, event viewer, task scheduler, etc.
  • Security Settings: Firewall, encryption, updates, etc.

Notes:

  • God Mode made its first appearance with Windows Vista, but it has been a feature of all versions of Windows since then.
  • It’s not a secret or unsupported feature—it’s just a hidden convenience tool.
  • You may rename the folder to something else (e.g., "Settings Master" or "Control Center") by changing the GodMode part of the folder name, but the .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} part must remain unchanged.

This feature is particularly useful for power users who want to streamline access to advanced settings without navigating through multiple menus.
