In this article, I will show you How to Enable Hidden Features in Windows 11 January 2023 Update.
Microsoft is continuing to improve Windows 11, by working on certain features that are currently hidden. In Windows 11 January 2023 Update, you can enable a New Search for the taskbar along with New Search Settings and Design for the Search Box in the Search Menu. In this article, I will show you how to enable those new features.
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:40887771
vivetool /enable /id:38937525You will now need to restart your computer, for the changes to take effect.
After the restart, you will be able to notice the New Search Box on the taskbar along with the new Design and Animation whenever you search something from the Start Menu and you are redirected to the Search Menu.
Also if you right-click the taskbar and go to Taskbar Settings, you will be able to change the design of the Search Box in the Taskbar with 4 different options.
