What is GodMode?

GodMode is a hidden Windows feature that creates a special folder giving you access to hundreds of system settings. From administrative tools to personalization options, it's all organized in a single, easy-to-navigate location. Think of it as a “control panel on steroids.”

How to Enable GodMode

Activating GodMode is straightforward and doesn’t require any special software. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Right-click on your Desktop.
    Select New > Folder to create a new folder.

  2. Rename the Folder.
    Copy and paste the following code as the folder name:

    GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

  3. Press Enter.
    The folder icon will change to look like the Control Panel, and it will now be named “GodMode.”

  4. Open the Folder.
    Double-click the folder to explore all the settings and tools it contains. You’ll find options organized into categories such as:

    • Administrative Tools

    • Backup and Restore

    • Network and Sharing

    • System Settings

    • User Accounts

Pro Tips for Using God Mode

  • You can rename the folder to something easier to remember, like “SuperSettings” or “WindowsTweaks,” after creating it.

  • For frequent use, consider pinning the folder to your taskbar or Start menu.

  • GodMode works on most modern Windows versions, including Windows 10 and 11.
