How to Enable New Task Manager on Windows 11 Build 22538
Microsoft recently released Windows 11 build 22538 to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel last week. Some Twitter users and one in common (namely Firecube) discovered that there is a hidden new Task Manager included in the new operating system’s build.
So, if you too want to experience this new Task Manager on your Windows 11 system, do not worry, as we have got you covered. Here are the steps you need to perform to enable the new Task Manager in Windows 11 Build 22538:
- Step 1. First of all, you need to download ViVeTool-v0.2.1.zip on the following page. (download the latest version).
- Step 2. Next, you have to extract the file you just downloaded. Download Winzip or Winrar and install it on Windows 11. Once the installation is finished, right-click on ViVeTool-v0.2.1.zip and choose the Extract here option.
- Step 3. Then, you have to open Command Prompt as Administrator and go to the folder where the file you extracted is located. You can use the following example command:
cd C:\FOLDER\PATH\ViveTool-v0.2.1 - Step 4. After that, if you are finished and the Command Prompt has entered the directory where the file you downloaded earlier, just type the following three commands in sequence and press Enter key after every command.

vivetool addconfig 37204171 2 - Step 5. Finally, you just have to restart your Windows 11 and you should now have a new Task Manager on your system.
Note: Keep in mind that this new Task Manager is still in the form of experimental features and changes, so there are still bugs and problems that you may find, so apart from insiders who are only testing and playing games, I don’t recommend you do the steps above if you use Windows 11 for daily needs such as main work and others.
