In this article, I will show you how to enable the New Suggested Action in Window 11 25247 with 4 Variants.
Microsoft is continuing to add more features to Windows 11, and in Build 25247 they added some new variants to the Suggested Actions that I’m going to show you how to enable in this article.
Disclaimer: This feature only works if you are in the US Region or if you change the region to US in Settings.
You will need to download ViveTool, which is a small app that will help us enable hidden features from Windows.
After you download ViveTool, you will need to extract the contents of the archive into the System32 location so that we can have full administrative privileges to the operating system.
Right-click on the archive and then click on Extract all. Select the System32 location and then click on Extract. You will also need to provide some administrative privileges.
After you’ve done that, you will need to open CMD as administrator and then copy and paste the following commands:
vivetool /enable /id:41539325After you run this command, you will need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
After the restart, if you type something in Windows 11 and you copy it, you should notice the new Suggested Action that will let you search that text if it’s detected as searchable.
There are also 3 different variants of this. The first variant is better because it allows you to search using your preferred browser.
vivetool /enable /id:41539325 /variant:1
The second variant will only change the text that appears and will let you search that text with whatever browser you want.
vivetool /enable /id:41539325 /variant:2
The third variant will only change the text to the default Suggested Action.
vivetool /enable /id:41539325 /variant:4
In my opinion, the first and second variants are the best, and you could try enabling those.
For a more in-depth tutorial, you can watch the video below from the youtube channel.

As I am new to these insider builds, I have a question. Could you please clarify to me whether I must be part of the insider program in order to take advantage of these suggested actions in the new builds which are available in different channels? Also, do I have to download the vive tool each time I test the new builds?
Usually, the newest hidden features can be found in the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program, so yes, you need to be enrolled in the Dev Channel for this particular feature. You don’t need to download Vivetool every time, just run the commands. I show the full process in the videos/articles every time because a lot of new people watch my videos.
