How to Add Explorer UI (Tabs etc.) to Windows 11 Build 22H2

Requirements:
Windows 11 Build 22H2 or a newer Insider Edition.
ViVeTool from GitHub

Start by going to this github page download the latest .zip release

Most articles I found were using an outdated syntax from versions below 0.3.x. Be sure to download the latest version (0.3.1 at time of writing).

Extract the zip folder to a folder of choice. I’m just going to extract it to
C:\<my user profile>\Downloads

Then open an administrative powershell or command prompt.

cd <path where you extracted zip contents>
e.g. C:\<my user profile>\Downloads\ViVeTool-v0.3.1\

Run the following commands from the directory where vivetool is extracted

.\ViVeTool.exe /enable /id:34370472 /variant:2
.\ViVeTool.exe /enable /id:39145991 /variant:2
.\ViVeTool.exe /enable /id:37634385 /variant:2

Restart the machine and open explorer and you should see the new changes.
