How to enable the new Spotlight UI on the desktop in Windows 11 build 25197
Windows 11 build 25197 is now available in the Dev Channel, which enables some previously hidden features such as a new tablet-optimized taskbar, animated icons in the Settings app, and an updated notification area. Traditionally, Build 25197 also brings unannounced changes, and this time, users discovered a new Spotlight panel that allows you to quickly switch wallpapers and get more information about the current desktop background.

You can invoke the new Spotlight UI by right-clicking the "Learn more about this image" shortcut on your desktop (when you set Spotlight as your desktop background available). This panel lets you quickly switch between wallpapers, get brief information about the current image, and use Bing to find similar images. Additionally, you can minimize the panel and turn it into a small bar with fewer buttons.
Currently, the panel looks and feels very primitive, with many unfinished parts and animations. Microsoft is apparently not ready to publicly test it yet, but you can take a look by enabling the new feature using the ViVeTool app and three IDs (thanks to @PhantomOfEarth for the discovery).
Important Tip: Back up mission-critical data before attempting to install Windows. Using ViVeTool to enable experimental and primitive features may cause various software issues and bugs, so please be careful. Only you are responsible for your computer and the data stored on it.
How to enable the new Spotlight UI in Windows 11 build 25197
- Download ViVeTool from the repository on Github and pull the files at any time. For example, in the root directory of drive C.
- Right-click the Start menu button and select Terminal (Administrator).
- Use the down arrow button on the tab strip to switch Terminal to the Command Prompt profile.
- Use the CD command to navigate to the folder containing the Vive files. Here is an example: CD C:\Vive.
- Execute the following commands in sequence:
- vivetool /enable/id:39710659
- vivetool /enable/id:40268500
- vivetool /enable/id:39880030
- Restart your computer (optional).
- Open the Settings app and go to the Personalization section.
- Click on the Windows Spotlight theme.
- Alternatively, go to Background and select Windows Spotlight.
- Return to the desktop and right-click the Learn more about this image shortcut.
This is how you invoke the new Spotlight panel in Windows 11 build 25197. Note that double-clicking the shortcut launches Bing, which feels a bit counterintuitive at the moment.

Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
