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 a folder of your choice.

Right-click on the archive and then click on Extract all. Select Your Folder 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. Type the following command in CMD:

cd "your-location"

Then copy and paste the following command:

vivetool /enable /id:48433719
vivetool /enable /id:48468527
vivetool /enable /id:48969045

You will now need to restart your computer, for the changes to take effect.

After the restart, you will see the New Taskbar Animations in the Main Release.
