If you’ve experimented with God modes in PC gaming, where inputting a specific code grants you superhuman abilities or invulnerability, you’ll find Windows 10 and 11 have a similar feature. However, instead of supernatural powers, it provides quick access to a wide range of hidden commands usually buried in menus and settings.
This Windows feature allows me to swiftly locate and manage administrative tools, adjust system settings like power plans, and review hardware details, significantly reducing the time spent navigating through multiple menus.
I highly recommend setting up Windows God Mode if you frequently perform certain tasks or need quick shortcuts. Here’s how you can activate it!
Steps to Enable:
- Right-click on your desktop and choose New > Folder to create a new folder.
- Name the folder: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.
- This should automatically turn your folder into a shortcut icon on your desktop. If it doesn’t update immediately, wait a few moments—it’s on its way.
- Double-click the new icon. You’ll see a comprehensive list of system settings and tools. Click on any to open and manage that specific function effortlessly.
