List of VIVE Tool functions

bamajon1974 · Nov 20, 2023

This thread (How to Remove the "System" badge/label from underneath Start Menu Apps - Windows 10 Help Forums) shows that the ViVe tool can be used to turn off the System labels for Apps in the Start Menu. Which led me to wonder what other hidden functions the ViVe tool can activate. Is there a well-know list of all of the hidden features that can be activated/deactivated for various windows versions using the ViVe tool?

I am also cross posting in ten forums as well.

There are no known lists as those settings are mainly of an internal nature to MS & can vary from one build to the next.
ViveTool GUI used to be pretty good at extracting the full list of each feature but its development seems to have stopped at 25393.
It still can be used but you have to do the extract yourself.
A word of caution though, I do not recommend its use as the name of the features can be very obscure and could lead to a frozen OS.
Backups should not be considered an option.

Hello @babajon1974 and welcome to ElevenForum.

As @OAT says... if you're gonna tweak... use backup software... first.

Macrium Reflect, AOMEI Backupper and Hasleo Backup Suite - GUIDES

How to use backup software... 1. When everything is working perfectly... make a full Windows backup. 2. Then, if something breaks... restore from the latest backup. 3. Then... try "whatever you were doing" a different way. If it still breaks Windows, then... go to step #2. 4. Repeat...

Here are some Vivetool numbers I use...

VIVETOOL, and how to use it...

By enabling or disabling certain 8 digit "ID numbers", you can turn Windows 11 features ON or OFF. In many cases, Vivetool is the "only" way to enable/disable certain features. Make sure you use 3rd party backup software, before you start "tweaking" Windows. ^^ These numbers don't seem to work...
