As fresh and exciting as Windows’ user interface gets, it’s becoming harder to access its most advanced (and often important) settings. Windows 11 , like Windows 10 before it, tries to guide you into a new, more modern-looking Settings menu, while also burying—but not eliminating— the old-fashioned Control Panel , which still contains a lot of important options.
The good news is that you can see the full list of shortcuts directly by enabling God Mode, or more accurately, creating a God Mode folder . Sadly, this God Mode isn’t as powerful as the modes you’ll find in video games, where you can walk through walls, become invincible, or get every weapon. But God Mode in Windows 11 can take you to printer or Bluetooth settings with a single click. Here’s how.
How to Enable God Mode in Windows 11
1. Right-click on the desktop and select New > Folder .
2. Name the folder as follows:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}The name will disappear after you are done.
3. Open the folder. You'll see over 200 settings menus to choose from, organized into categories like Security and Maintenance and Power Options .
4. Drag and drop individual shortcuts to the desktop if you want quicker access. For example, if you want one-click access to the Manage audio devices menu , drag it to the desktop and you'll have a dedicated shortcut there.
Note that the God Mode folder icon may change at some point, possibly after you reboot. In my example, it looks like the screenshot below.
Regardless of what the icon looks like, the God Mode folder is a powerful time-saver.
Good luck!
