How to use extended GodMode in Windows 10? Windows 10 is an intuitive operating system, very easy to use for a consumer, but the administration and management tasks for an advanced user are not always equally accessible. And after the removal of components from the Control Panel the situation is worse.
To improve access and centralize it in a single screen, Microsoft introduced in Windows 7 a “GodMode” that arrived later to Windows 8./8.1 and it is also supported in Windows 10. It includes a single screen where the administration tools and control options are.

Additionally, it has a search function to easily locate any parameter and navigate through the list using filters. You can also create a list of favorites and mark settings to quickly change them in the future.
Very useful for advanced users who want to access the hidden administration and management functions of the system in a single screen and in a very simple way through a single application. Now that Microsoft is eliminating the system control panel in favor of the Configuration tool (perhaps more intuitive, but less powerful), it is always good to have this type of tool at hand.
