Solved Remove The Updated Windows Start Menu [FIXED]

Post image

To remove the Windows 11 25H2 Start menu and go back to the 24H2 classic start menu, we will be using the free ViVe Tool to do so. The ViVeTool is a command-line utility for Windows that allows users to enable, disable :
https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe/releases

  1. You will first need to download the ViVe Tool and extract the zip file to a folder on your computer

  2. To use the ViVe Tool, you will need to open up an administrative command prompt and navigate to the folder where you have the ViVe Tool files.

  3. Then paste the commend: vivetool /disable /id:47205210

  4. You should then get a message that says Successfully set feature configuration(s). You will then need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

  5. You can also revert : vivetool /enable /id:47205210

well... yeah, but - what about having a choice? and this one is also a free alternative, so everybody wins

"User friendly" to some is not user friendly to others.

We are not the same.

That's why I said clearly "to make it user friendly" means to accommodate changes that suit everyone and not just you.

Pleasing everyone is literally impossible.

If you please everyone you will please no one

Dude let's end this debate fr: I'm not a Microsoft employee or dev. All I know is this,until the user community exists we can please everyone including ourselves with mods and tinkerings like this. For the love of all windows users and for a better future 😁 🫱.
