Many Windows users may not be familiar with “God Mode”, or may think it is a new feature in Windows 11, but that is not the case. God mode has existed in Windows for a while and first appeared in Windows Vista back in 2007.
In Windows 11, God mode is a power-user-focused feature. It is a folder that groups advanced administrative configuration tools into one window for quicker access. This allows you to have all the options to customize your Windows 11 PC in one place without having to visit multiple settings pages individually.
Essentially, God mode is like the Control Panel or Settings app in Windows but displayed in file form. This article will teach you how to access God mode in Windows 11.
