Have you heard of God Mode in Windows? It is a secret folder with shortcuts to all sorts of Windows tools and settings. As cool and useful as it is, a former Microsoft employee managed to one-up it with Super God Mode. It unlocks up to 5 times more hidden tools and utilities plus links to some powerful PowerShell scripts that you will want to use.

What Is God Mode
God Mode is a native and hidden Windows folder that provides quick access to most operating system settings in one place. It comes preinstalled but has to be enabled manually (more on that below). Instead of navigating through different menus in the Settings app, God Mode brings all these shortcuts into a single, easily accessible folder. Thankfully, all the shortcuts are neatly organized by function like AutoPlay, Date and Time, etc. making them easier to locate.
Here’s how it works:
What It Does
God Mode creates a folder that displays a list of over 200 administrative tools, settings, and configuration options. These include device management, disk management, and various system settings that might otherwise be buried deep within Windows’ menus.
How to Enable God Mode
To activate God Mode, create a new folder on your desktop and rename it with a specific string: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. Once renamed, the folder icon will change, and double-clicking it will reveal a long list of shortcuts to settings.
Who It’s For
This feature is especially useful for power users, system administrators, or anyone who wants quick access to a wide range of Windows settings without having to search for them individually.
Limitations
While called God Mode, it doesn’t actually add new capabilities to your computer. It simply makes existing features more accessible in a single folder. Additionally, God Mode is mainly beneficial for those familiar with Windows settings and know what they are looking for.
God Mode has been a part of Windows since Windows 7 and continues to be available in Windows 10 and 11.
So What Is Super God Mode Then
Super God Mode is not a Windows native feature. It is a free and open-source app available on GitHub. Super God Mode was created by a former Microsoft employee turned YouTuber ThioJoe. So how is it better?
Expanded Access
Super God Mode includes shortcuts to over 1,000 different tools and settings, which may vary depending on your Windows configuration. Like God Mode, all shortcuts are neatly placed inside a folder making it easier to navigate and access advanced settings without needing to search through multiple menus.
Customizability
Users can customize the folder’s layout and organize the shortcuts allowing for a more personalized and efficient experience when managing Windows settings.
How to Install Super God Mode on Windows
Setting up Super God Mode might sound a bit techy, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step process:
- Head over to the GitHub repository and navigate to the Releases section.
- Download the SuperGodMode-EasyLauncher.bat and Super_God_Mode.ps1 files.
- Open the SuperGodMode-EasyLauncher.bat file and then hit the Run Script button. Feel free to tweak things before you run the script.
- Wait a few minutes, and you’ll find a Super God Mode folder in the chosen directory.
God Mode vs Super God Mode
There are notable differences between the two. For example:
More Comprehensive
While God Mode offers access to over 200 settings, Super God Mode unlocks access to over 1000 settings and tweaks covering a wider range of system configurations and tools. It does this by creating links and shortcuts to many Powershell commands and scripts thereby making it easier to execute these commands without having to run commands or even open Powershell.
User-Created
Unlike God Mode which is a native Windows feature, Super God Mode is a third-party tool created by a developer. It requires additional steps to set up and is not officially supported by Microsoft.
Super God Mode is particularly useful for advanced users who want even greater control over their Windows system, offering deeper access to settings and tools that are otherwise hidden or hard to find.
Why You Should Use Super Gode Mode
If you’re someone who loves having complete control over your system, Super God Mode is a total game-changer. It’s like having a backstage pass to all the deep-down Windows settings and commands. Perfect for tweaking things quickly or troubleshooting issues without hunting through a bunch of menus. Plus, it’s a cool way to wow your friends with your insider knowledge!
