Windows' "God Mode" has long been a feature for advanced users, offering a treasure trove of customization options that allow enthusiasts to tailor their operating system experience. However, not all users have found it sufficient. Enter the unofficial "Super God Mode," an application developed by ThioJoe that expands upon the original concept, providing even more advanced tools for system settings and features.

The Unofficial "Super God Mode" App Gets Its First Update

As reported by Neowin, the newly launched Super God Mode app has recently undergone its first update, enhancing its functionality significantly. This application fills a gap that many users felt was missing from the standard God Mode experience.

This PowerShell script creates shortcuts to all special shell folders, named folders, task links, system settings, deep links, and URL protocols in Windows, providing easy access to a wide range of system settings and features.

The highlight of this update is an improved search capability that simplifies the process of locating hidden links associated with non-Appx applications. In simpler terms, the app now excels at identifying links that direct users to various locations on their PCs, compiling them into a convenient folder of shortcuts that can be accessed from anywhere.

Details of the First Update Include:

  • Enhanced search functionality for hidden links related to non-Appx applications.
  • Resolved a bug that prevented some hidden links from appearing in search results.
  • Introduced a new option for a "Deeper Scan for Hidden Links," which thoroughly examines all files within non-Appx program folders, albeit at a slower pace.
  • Updated hard-coded paths to ensure compatibility with systems where C: is not the primary drive.

For those interested in exploring this tool, the process is straightforward. Users can visit the project's GitHub page, download the necessary PS1 and BAT files, and run the BAT file from the same location. For the cautious, reviewing the source code is also an option to ensure safety when executing scripts found online.
