How to enable new features for Windows 11 November 2025 Update (KB5067036)

The Windows 11 November 2025 Update (KB5067036) is rolling out on November 11, 2025, for versions 25H2 and 24H2, with new features and fixes.
Since Microsoft enables changes gradually, you can manually unlock the new features by installing the update and running the ViVeTool command vivetool /enable /id:57048231 in Command Prompt (admin).

The Windows 11 November 2025 Security Update for versions 25H2 and 24H2 will roll out on November 11, 2025, and you can manually force-enable most of the upcoming changes. In this guide, I’ll show you how to complete this task.

Currently, the next cumulative update (KB5067036) of Windows 11 is available as build 26200.7015 (25H2) and build 26100.7015 (24H2) through the Release Preview Channel, which includes new features and fixes. However, since Microsoft rolls out features gradually, not everyone gets them immediately. If you want early access, you can use the ViveTool (via @PhantomOfEarth) command-line utility to unlock the new features on your device.

In this guide, I’ll outline the steps to enable (most) of the improvements introduced with the November 2025 Security Update for Windows 11.

Enable new November 2025 features on Windows 11

To enable all the new features and changes for the Windows 11 update KB5067036, follow these steps:

Open the GitHub website.
Download the ViveTool-vx.x.x.zip file to enable all the new features for November 2025.
Double-click the zip folder to open it with File Explorer.
Click the Extract all button.
Click the Extract button.
Copy the path to the folder.
Open Start.
Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
Type the following command to navigate to the ViveTool folder and press Enter:
```
cd c:\folder\path\ViveTool-v0.x.x
```
In the command, remember to change the path to the folder with your path.
Type the following command to enable the bundle of features and press Enter:
```
vivetool /enable /id:57048231
```
Restart the computer, and if you don’t see all the features, continue with the steps below.
(Optional) Type the following command to enable the new Start menu design and press Enter:
```
vivetool /enable /id:47205210
```
(Optional) Type the following command to enable the new battery percentage and press Enter:
```
vivetool /enable /id:56328729,48433719
```
Restart the computer.

Once you complete the steps, the command should enable the most significant features and changes introduced in build 26100.7015 for Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2.

If you want to undo the changes, you can follow the same instructions outlined above, but in step 10, run the vivetool /enable /id:57048231,47205210,56328729,48433719 command. You can also run the vivetool /fullreset command to reset any customization you may have enabled using this tool.

Install Windows 11 November 2025 Security Update

If you’re trying to enable the features before the update is available through the Stable Channel, then you’ll have to enroll your device in the Release Preview Channel. However, you can always wait a little longer to download the update directly from the Stable Channel, even when the update is in preview. Typically, this occurs at the beginning of the month, when the Patch Tuesday update is scheduled for release.

To install the Windows 11 build 26100.7015 (KB5067036), follow these steps:

Open Settings.
Click on Windows Update.
(Optional) Check the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” toggle switch.
Click the “Check for updates” button.
(Optional) Click the “Download and install” option to apply a preview of an upcoming update of Windows 11.
Click the Restart now button.

Once you complete the steps, if an update is available, it will download and install automatically on Windows 11.

FAQs about the Windows 11 November 2025 Update

If you still have questions about the November 2025 update for Windows 11, the following FAQs will help clarify what’s new and how to enable the latest features.

What’s the ViveTool command to enable the November 2025 features for Windows 11?

To enable the new feature with the ViveTool, you have to run the vivetool /enable /id:57048226 command.

Will I enable all of the features by running the ViveTool command?

No, since some features are not available to everyone (even after running the ViveTool commands), and others are limited to specific regions.

Why do I need to run the ViveTool command to enable the new features?

You don’t have to use the ViveTool, but some people want to access the improvements as soon as possible. The problem is that Microsoft rolls out new features gradually, even after they’re officially available. The idea is that if something breaks, the company can quickly stop the problem from spreading to more devices.

What features and changes are available with the November 2025 update for Windows 11?

As part of this Patch Tuesday Update, Microsoft is rolling out several features and improvements. Some of these changes include a new Start menu design, Administrator Protection, battery percentage and new battery iconography, and improvements for Click to Do, File Explorer Home, and more.
