In this article, I will show you How to Enable New Gallery Section in File Explorer with New Options in Windows 11 23430.
Microsoft is working behind the scenes on the New Gallery Section in File Explorer, and we can already see previews of how that would look and the different new sections that they will add. In this article, I will show you how to enable that.
Thanks to PhantomOcean3 for discovering this, follow him for more hidden 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 command:
vivetool /enable /id:41040327,40729001,40731912,41969252,42922424,42295138
You will now need to restart your computer, for the changes to take effect.
After the restart, you should notice the New Gallery Section, along with the New Drop-down that allows you to select the locations from where Gallery will gather photos.
If you want to disable the New Gallery Section, you can run the following command:
vivetool /enable /id:41040327,40729001,40731912,41969252,42922424,42295138
