Windows 11, like Windows 10, has a hidden feature known as God Mode that offers quick access to hundreds of system commands and administrative tools normally buried deep within menus and settings.

While the name sounds like a cheat code from a video game, God Mode does not grant supernatural powers. Instead, it brings together shortcuts to a wide range of system functions in one convenient location. From adjusting power plans to managing devices and checking system information, God Mode can save considerable time by cutting through multiple layers of navigation.

For anyone who frequently tweaks system settings or wants an easier way to manage Windows, enabling God Mode can be a simple yet effective productivity boost.

How to enable God Mode on Windows 11 or 10:

  • Right-click on the desktop and create a new folder.
  • Rename the folder to: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
  • The folder icon should automatically change into the God Mode icon. If not, wait a few moments.
  • Double-click the icon to open it and browse the full list of functions available. With this enabled, you can access key tools instantly instead of navigating through menus, making it a handy trick for both advanced users and anyone wanting more control over their system.
