This is How to activate the useful “God Mode”

If you are desperate for settings under Windows 11 or Windows 10, the so-called “God Mode” can help. It grants quick and easy access to over 200 useful functions of the operating systems. We’ll show you how to activate it. With the introduction of Windows 11, further options moved from the former control panel to the Settings app, which has been under revision for years. But the move is far from over, which is why many functions are now spread across three contact points and the search for them can often be frustrating. With the “God Mode,” you can remove some stumbling blocks and turn a conventional folder into a collection of useful settings not only under Windows 11 but also under Windows 10. And so it goes.

Step 1: Create an empty folder on the desktop

Use the context menu (right mouse button) to create a new folder on your desktop using the “New -> Folder” function.

Step 2: Name the folder to activate “God Mode”

If the folder was created under the standard name “New Folder”, your cursor jumps directly afterward into the name field so that you can rename it. Instead of a classic folder name, enter the following character string: GodMode. {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

As soon as you confirm this with the Enter key after entering it, the folder name disappears and you will receive the first indication that the activation of “God Mode” was successful.

Step 3: Open the “God Mode” folder and use shortcuts

If you open the mysterious folder, you will find more than 200 shortcuts in it, which leads you quickly and easily to important settings of the Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems. From the administration of user accounts to energy and explorer functions to options for the network, troubleshooting, and the system itself, everything is included. Tip: The functions can be placed on the desktop or in other folders for quick access using classic drag & drop. Windows 11, Faq, Instructions, Tutorial, How-To, God Mode
