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.

How to Create God Mode in Microsoft Windows 10
Make sure your Microsoft system account has administrator privileges. In order to enable God Mode you must be have administrator rights on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer. If you don't have the necessary rights then you will not be able to enable this mode on your computer.
NOTE: Ensure you know what you're doing, and the outcome, before you adjust any settings as you can leave your computer in an inoperable state by using God Mode without being aware of the consequences.
- Right-click on a blank area on the Windows 10 or 11 desktop and select "Create a new folder" from the menu.
- Right-click the new folder and rename the folder: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (You must name the folder exactly as shown, then press the enter or return key.
- The folder will then change into an icon similar to the windows control panel one you may already have on your desktop (see below image).
