There’s a secret tool in Windows 10 that puts all your settings in one place — here’s how to find it

Windows 10 is a worthwhile upgrade to its predecessor. But, like any OS, it has its share of niggling annoyances.

Active users, for instance, have likely noticed that all the software’s settings menus and customization options are split between two places: the Control Panel, and the Settings app.

The latter is steadily usurping the former, but there’s a particular tweak you’re looking to make, there’s still a chance it might take a little longer than it should to find the controls you want to find. Sometimes, a command might not be there in the first place.

Is this a first-world problem? Totally. Does that mean you can’t fix it? Absolutely not.

The solution lies in a long-time Windows shortcut called the Windows Master Control Panel. Colloquially, it’s known as GodMode. While it’s not quite as exciting as that video game-like term would suggest, it’s still a handy option for Windows tinkerers and power users to keep in their back pocket.

It’s also super easy to set up. Here’s a quick tutorial.

Provided you have admin access, you first right click, then select New > Folder.
