Commands to Use

ViVeTool commands for Windows 11 rely on Command Prompt or Windows Terminal to turn hidden features on and off using specific feature IDs. You use the /enable command followed by the feature ID to turn a feature on, or the /disable command to turn it back off.

"C:\FullPathToViVeTool.exe" /enable /id:<feature ID>

To disable a hidden feature, use this command:

"C:\FullPathToViVeTool.exe" /disable /id:<feature ID>

ViVeTool allows users to turn on or turn off many Windows 11 features simultaneously. Users input feature identification numbers, or IDs, separating each ID with a comma. For instance, to activate three separate features, a user would list their IDs like `12345678, 98765432, 11223344`. This method speeds up the process of experimenting with new Windows 11 functionalities.

"C:\Users\GenericUser\Downloads\ViVeToolViVeTool.exe" /enable /id:42880174,44281626,45393399
