How to Enable New Hidden Features in Windows 11 25905 – Never Combine Taskbar, Start Menu Changes

In this article, I will show you How to Enable New Hidden Features in Windows 11 25905.

Microsoft has started to bring all the New Features from the Dev Channel inside the Canary Channel. In this article, I will show you how to enable those.

Thanks to PhantomOcean3 and XenoPanther for discovering this, follow them for more hidden features!

Download ViveTool from Github

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:

Enable New Activation Troubleshooting Settings UI:

vivetool /enable /id:36390579,42739793

Enable New Dev Drive Features:
