Synopsis: Instructions to create Windows 10 and 11 God Mode folder to provide convenient and accessible access to many of your Microsoft PC computer settings all in the one place. Most of items in God Mode can also be found in the Windows 10 and 11 control panel, but it is far easier - and certainly more accessible - to have all the options listed in just the one folder.

Introduction

What is Windows God Mode?

The official name for God Mode in Windows is "Windows Master Control Panel". God Mode in Windows gives you access to the operating system's control panels including convenient access to administrative tools, computer backup and restore options and other management settings from within one folder. Most of the items in "God Mode" can also be found in the Windows 10 control panel, but it is far easier - and certainly more accessible - to have all the options listed in just the one folder. Think of God Mode as your back-door to the Windows 10 Operating System (OS) providing easy access to all the settings.
