In Windows' case, though, you don't get supernatural powers. What you get is access to a whole heap of commands that you'd normally have to dig deep to find in menus, submenus, and tabs.
I use Windows God mode to find and manage Windows administrative tools quicker than I normally would be able to, to adjust and check things like my PC's power plan, and to view my devices. Suffice it to say it saves me a bunch of time by cutting down the time I spend with useless faffing about.
In fact, I recommend Windows God mode as a quick way to access functions that you use a lot and wish you had shortcuts for on your desktop. Here's how to switch it on!
What to do:
Right click on your desktop and select New Folder to create a new folder.
Rename the folder: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.
This should turn your new folder into a desktop icon. If it doesn't happen right away, give it a few minutes — it will.
Double-click on the icon. You will now see a list of functions to choose from. Select the function you want to run by clicking on it at will.

There are dozens of fixes and tweaks in the official update log, but I'm going to focus on the ones that jumped out at me.
A new Customization tab allows you to set a custom sort name. This is a big deal for people who have huge collections and want to organize them. For example, you can set the cumbersome title for "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition" to just "Skyrim," so it appears under "S" in the list like your brain says it should.
This menu also lets you set a custom cover, wide cover, background, and logo. You can set the game cover to a screenshot of the custom character you spent 100 hours and a dozen different mods on. Yeah, I see you, weirdos.
New accessibility settings in desktop mode, including high contrast, reduced motion, and UI scaling. My tired eyeballs would say "thank you" if they could say anything (they can't, they're eyeballs).
The in-game performance monitor is back with a tweak that should be more accurate than Task Manager.
You now get a notification for when trades are reversed via Trade Protection (still limited to Counter-Strike, so far as I know).
You can filter by "private games" in the dy
