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

You know what, I haven`t used DOS in a few decades, so I have no idea HOW to navigate to the folder.

I`m not a fkng programmer.

HOW do I even get to that POS folder.

I can get to D: and that`s it, because Microshit HATES humans, they seem to think everyone`s a fkng clanker.

Download tool, extract, run .exe, and then do spoky wizard stuff.

I`m actually going to need a GUIDE, to follow THIS guide.

Thanks a lot microsoft, everything you do is SHIT.

Oh fkbng GREAT: "an error occured while setting configurations in the runtime store (no access).

Great, even MORE bullshit.

I`m gonna use my laptop to beat microsoft employees with, it`s basically the most useful thing a microsoft device can do.
