Enable all the new features in Windows 11

Microsoft has released Windows 11 version 25H2 on the last day of September in 2025, one day after the release of the September security update for Windows 11 version 24H2. This update contains many new features and changes, some of which are quite useful.

The Windows 11 version 25H2 release is still being rolled out by the company, but the new features it contains are still being rolled out gradually. This means that even in the latest version, you may not have all the new features.

See more articles from iGuRu.gr when you search for news on Google.

Below we will see how you can have them with a command in the Command Prompt before Microsoft activates them.

Make sure your system is on build 26200.6725 or 26100.6725 or later. You should install the October 2025 Security Update or the September 2025 Security Update. Note that all new features are available not only in Windows 11 version 25H2, but also in version 24H2.

Download ViveTool from GitHub and unzip the files wherever you want.

Press Win + R keys together and type cmd. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter or open the command prompt with administrator privileges.
Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive.

Type vivetool /enable /id:57048226 and press Enter.
Restart your computer.

That's it. You now have all the features that Microsoft released with KB5065789 and the October 2025 Patch Tuesday updates.

Some of the most interesting changes include an easier way to enter em dash and en dash, the ability to change the display position of hardware indicators on the screen, gamepad improvements (long-pressing now launches Task View), better context menus in File Explorer, additional Control Panel items that have been moved to the Settings app, and more.

If you have a dual-screen setup, you'll be able to open Notification Center from the secondary screen, another new feature.

The next security update for Windows 11 is expected to bring even more features, such as a redesigned Start menu and more. As always, new features will be released gradually, but there will be a way to enable them….

  1. An observation.
    I am not an expert, so I am not a professional when it comes to computers. However, I am a somewhat “power” user.
    But you, instead of writing explanatoryly, write in your own language, and only “your peers” understand you. They do NOT need you because they probably know before you do.
    For example, in this particular article, you refer to the vive tool. I do NOT know what that is. So the entire article is useless to me. You write as if everyone understands you and things are implied that only apply to you. In any case, those who understand you obviously do not need your article. For people like me, it is equally useless.
    I generally read you, but very few of your articles have informed me. I imagine that for ordinary users your help (if you have such an intention) is almost non-existent.
    I wish you continued success...
