GodMode is a special folder in Windows that gives you quick access to over important tools needed to administer your computer. Its been around since the days of Windows 7. In this article, we shall discuss how to enable God Mode via PowerShell or the CLI and GUI.

It is a dedicated folder that puts all of your settings in one place, where you’ll be able to do everything from adding clocks for different time zones to defragmenting your drives
