## What it is
ViVeTool GUI is a Windows desktop application providing a graphical interface for enabling, disabling, and searching hidden Windows features via the ViVe/ViVeTool feature control mechanism. It targets Windows 10 and 11, including Insider builds, and is written in VB.NET.

## Use cases
- enable hidden features in windows 11 insider builds
- disable experimental windows features with a gui
- search for hidden windows feature ids
- manually toggle a windows feature by id
- browse feature lists for different windows builds
- alternative to vivetool command line

## When to choose
- you want a point-and-click GUI instead of ViVeTool CLI commands
- you need to explore and toggle A/B experiment features on Windows 10/11
- you prefer browsing features grouped by build rather than typing feature IDs

## When to avoid
- the project is officially deprecated and unmaintained, so expect no fixes for future Windows changes
- you need a supported, actively updated feature-control tool
- you are not comfortable with the risk of modifying the Windows Feature Store
- you run Linux or macOS, since it is Windows-only
