How to enable God Mode in Windows 11

God Mode in Windows 11 (as well as previous versions of Windows) is simply a folder that contains shortcuts to most or all of the options available in the Control Panel. It’s useful because it makes all of those shortcuts quickly available without having to navigate the potentially confusing interface of the Control Panel. All the items are sorted and grouped so they’re easy enough to find.

Here’s how to enable God Mode on Windows 11:

  • Right-click an empty area of the desktop, hover over New and then choose Folder.
  • Name the folder GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. If you’ve already created it with a different name, right-click the folder and choose Rename to change it.
    • Once you hit Enter after changing the name, that name will disappear, and the icon should change into a Control Panel icon.
    • You can now open the folder to access all the settings inside. You’ll find settings for everything from AutoPlay, user accounts, disk optimization, and so on. There are a total of 211 items, but that could vary depending on what version of Windows you’re running.
