Versions:
ViveTool is a lightweight C# library and accompanying console application created by thebookisclosed that exposes the undocumented Feature Store APIs introduced in Windows 10 version 2004 and later, allowing power users, developers, and IT administrators to toggle hidden or experimental operating-system capabilities that Microsoft has staged but not yet made publicly available. By interfacing directly with the runtime feature control stack, the utility can query, enable, or disable thousands of velocity flags—ranging from updated taskbar behaviors and revised window-management routines to in-progress UI refreshes and kernel-level optimizations—without requiring insider preview builds or manual registry edits. Typical use cases include selectively activating forthcoming productivity enhancements on stable enterprise machines, benchmarking performance impact of unreleased scheduler improvements, documenting behavioral differences between builds for compatibility testing, or simply satisfying curiosity about interface experiments circulating in Windows development channels. The project maintains two concurrent release lines: the current 0.3.4 build refines syntax validation, expands coverage of newly discovered feature IDs, and improves error reporting when secure boot or HVCI policies block modification attempts, while the preceding branch remains accessible for legacy scenarios. As an open-source system-tweaking tool distributed under the MIT license, ViveTool is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
