Instructions: enable the search bar in the “Task Manager” in Windows 11 Build 25231+

Microsoft is working on adding a search box to the Task Manager title bar that will allow you to search for processes and services by their name, developer, or PID. This feature was discovered in the Windows 11 Insider Build 25231, but for now it is hidden from prying eyes, so you will need the ViveTool utility to enable it.

It is possible that this innovation will reach Windows 11 2022 Update (version 22H2) along with the update, codenamed Moment 2, scheduled for February-March 2023.

Instruction

1. Download the ViVeTool utility by this link. This is a new version of ViveTool 0.3.2, details of which we have covered in our material.
2. Unpack the downloaded archive to any place on your computer (for example, you can create a ViVeTool folder in the root of the C: drive and place the files there).
3. Open a command prompt as an administrator (for example, by typing CMD in the search and selecting the appropriate item).
4. In the command line, navigate to the folder with ViVeTool using the command cd /d , then press Enter. For example: cd /d "C:\ViVeTool"
5. Enter command vivetool /enable /id:39420424 /store:both and press Enter.
6. Make sure that the command line shows the message “Successfully set feature configuration”
7. Restart your computer to apply the changes.

If you want to disable the functions, then use the command:

• vivetool /disable /id:39420424 /store:both
