## What it is
ViVe is a C# library and console tool (ViVeTool) for interacting with the A/B feature experiment mechanism in Windows 10 version 2004 and newer. It lets developers and power users enable, disable, and manage Windows feature flags programmatically or from the command line.

## Use cases
- enable hidden Windows features before they roll out publicly
- disable a problematic Windows feature flag
- query the state of Windows A/B feature experiments
- build custom tools that manage Windows feature controls
- revert features to last-known-good state
- toggle experimental Windows shell features from scripts

## When to choose
- you need to enable or disable Windows feature experiments on Windows 10 build 18963+
- you want a C# API to programmatically manage Windows feature flags
- you need a simple CLI for toggling hidden Windows features

## When to avoid
- you are not on Windows 10 build 18963 or newer
- you need cross-platform feature flag management
- you want a supported, officially sanctioned way to change Windows behavior

## Facets

- function: developer-tools, configuration-management, cli
- domain: windows, developer-tools, operating-systems
