## What it is
Mach2 is a Windows command-line multi-tool for managing the Windows Feature Store, allowing users to discover, enable, disable, and revert hidden feature switches stored in the Windows Notification Facility (WNF). It also scans PDB files for feature symbols. The project was retired in December 2024 in favor of ViVe.

## Use cases
- enable hidden experimental windows features
- dump windows feature control store
- scan pdb files for feature symbols
- disable a windows feature by id
- revert windows feature to default state

## When to choose
- you need to toggle Windows feature flags on Windows 10 versions older than 2004
- you want to scan PDB files for feature symbols for research

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows 10 version 2004 or newer - use ViVe instead
- you need an actively maintained or supported tool
