What is God Mode in Windows

 What is God Mode in Windows


“God Mode” in Windows is a special folder that contains shortcuts to launch various tools for managing, configuring and administering the operating system.

In other words, in one folder there is all the functionality with which the Windows operating system is configured and managed.

This feature greatly simplifies and speeds up the work related to Windows administration, since in this case there is no need to open "Settings" or "Control Panel" of Windows and look for the necessary functionality there, i.e. open one window, then another, and so on.

It is due to the fact that the system can be controlled from one place, from a single point, that this feature is called “God Mode”.

The essence of this mode is that all control panel elements that are part of Windows, including the control panel itself, are assigned a canonical name and a unique GUID that can be used to launch this element programmatically. In this way, we have direct access to all Windows customization functions.

And due to the fact that Windows has a system for identifying all standard folders, we can use the GUID to create a folder to launch any item in the control panel.

And if you create a folder with the GUID of the control panel itself, then when you open this folder, all control panel items will be stored in it, which is God Mode.

You can view the GUIDs of available control panel items in the official documentation - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/controlpanel-canonical-names
