These ViveTool codes unlock hidden Start menu, Taskbar, and Search features on Windows 11, and the list is refreshed as new builds roll out.

Windows 11 ships with dozens of features that are already built into the system but switched off behind internal feature flags. A small command-line tool called ViveTool can flip those switches early, using numeric feature IDs tied to specific updates and Insider builds. Below is the current set of working IDs, organized by what they unlock, along with the exact commands needed to apply them.

Working ViveTool codes for Windows 11

These IDs apply to the publicly released (Stable) version of Windows 11 rather than Insider preview builds. Codes tied to older monthly updates generally keep working on newer installs unless Microsoft removes the underlying feature.

Microsoft has already assigned feature bundle ID 61161268 to the upcoming October 2026 update. It won’t do anything until that update actually reaches your PC, so there’s no point running it early.


Expired or replaced codes

A handful of older IDs have been folded into newer combinations and no longer need to be entered on their own.

  • 60716524,61391826 — Replaced by the full stable Low Latency Profile combination listed above

How to enable a ViveTool code on Windows 11

Download the ViveTool archive that matches your processor, either x64 or ARM64, from its GitHub releases page.
Extract the ZIP file to a short, easy-to-type folder path, for example C:\ViveTool.
Open Start, search for Command Prompt, right-click it, and choose “Run as administrator.” ViveTool needs elevated permissions to change feature flags.
Move into the ViveTool folder by typing cd C:\ViveTool and pressing Enter.
Run the enable command, replacing the ID with the code you want to turn on:
vivetool /enable /id:57048231

Some features need more than one ID entered together. In that case, separate them with commas in a single command:

vivetool /enable /id:61754985,61225604,61596616,61596617,61596618,61596619
Restart your PC. Most feature changes stay invisible until after a reboot.

You’ll know it worked when the command prompt reports the change was applied and, after restarting, the relevant Settings page, dialog, or interface element actually shows the new option. If nothing appears, the feature is likely gated by hardware, region, or a server-side rollout control that ViveTool can’t override on its own.

To turn a feature back off, run the same command with /disable instead of /enable, then restart. Running vivetool /fullreset clears every custom feature change you’ve made and returns flags to their default state, so use it only if you want to undo everything at once.


Codes for Insider preview builds (26H2 and 25H2)

Windows Insiders testing the Experimental and Beta channels can reach features months before they land in a stable update. Many of the stable codes above started out as one of these build-specific IDs.

Prerequisite IDs matter here. Several 26H2 features, including Administrator Protection, only activate when a full chain of bundle IDs is enabled together, not just the single ID tied to the visible feature.

Windows 11’s feature-flag system keeps changing month to month, so an ID that works today can be replaced the moment Microsoft finishes testing the feature it controls. Checking back before a major cumulative update, rather than relying on an old command from a previous build, keeps the process from wasting a reboot.
