The best GodMode tools to download:
Small program activates the GodMode
Download GodMode (Windows 11/10/8/7).
The exclusive GodMode activation tool now works even better than before: Thanks to a revision of the source code, there are no longer any annoying display errors. Microsoft is to blame for it, the bug affected Windows 10 1703 and higher – the folder name is invisible here. The activation switch recognizes which Windows 10 version is installed – and creates a shortcut instead of a folder for Windows 1703, 1709, 1803, 1809, 1903, 1909, 2004, 20H2, 21H1, 21H2 and Windows 11. As a result, in contrast to the technical implementation via a folder, a (negligible) link arrow appears, but the name is displayed correctly.

Call GodMode manually by folder
GodMode. ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C
You can vary the part before the dot if you wish – it should be noted that the mandatory naming of the term “GodMode” is a misconception, because you name the tool with any information before the dot. The procedure for manually creating a desktop reference is illustrated below. The advantage of this procedure is that you can access the GodMode in Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 in the same way as with the downloadable GodMode batch file.
If you “just want to quickly” access the GodMode, it is not absolutely necessary to create such a desktop folder. It is enough to press Windows-R for the Run dialog; give him the following:
shell:::ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C
Because the Win-R Run dialog keeps a history, a so-called RunMRU history in the registry, you don’t need to “copy-and-paste” the command again until this history is cleared. It is enough to press Windows-R again and select the command behemoth offered above. A tip for the window of the opened GodMode: If you wish, drag the address bar control panel icon (to the left of “All Tasks”) while holding down the mouse button to the desktop to create a link to GodMode (then called “All Tasks – Shortcut”). to create. A double click on this leads to the configuration function.
GodMode bug on Windows 10/11
Since Windows 10 1703 (Creators Update), the GodMode has been plagued by a bug – as described at the beginning: If you create the folder-based mode, the name is missing. This occurs with manual creation and when using batch scripts for the GodMode. You can still access it by double-clicking, but the icon display is still ugly. The 2020 updated GodMode CoBi batch file no longer has the issue. You ensure the correct name by modifying the manual generation: Right-click on the desktop and select “New > Shortcut”. Then pass the following command to the input field of the opening wizard and close the wizard:
explorer shell:::ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C
Access GodMode faster on Windows 7
There are a variety of ways to unlock GodMode. The folder tip mentioned above is widespread, but it is not intuitive to use. If you are using Windows 7 – despite the January 2020 update – it is much easier to access the Control Panel alternative via the Start menu. This tip should be mentioned here because it is exclusive to Windows 7 and is usually not available in other guides. In the Start menu search box, type an entry name of GodMode, something like change default printer. Hold down the Shift key and right-click on the search hit, select “Open file location” in the context menu. The photo series shows the little-known procedure step by step. Alternatively, invoke a form of GodMode in Windows 7 by feeding the start menu search with the letter L; After clicking on the entry “Control Panel” in blue letters, the special version of GodMode opens.
The class identification number on which the GodMode is based (like CLSIDs in general) is entered in the Windows registry. CLSIDs are unique identifiers for COM objects, or more simply put, software components. You can therefore also call the GodMode by sending per Windows key and R open the run dialog and type:
shell:::ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C

Finally, an explanation: The term GodMode – or God mode – is not an invention of computerbild.de. It is also used in computer games. The editors have already received a letter (which they printed) in which a reader expressed his dissatisfaction with the term, which should preferably not be taken literally. Should you, as a Christian, see your feelings hurt, please note the following: This article describes a topic that is also dealt with by numerous other media and which should in no way be understood as blasphemy. Nevertheless: At this point, a serious apology, should the terminology be misleading.
