On Windows 11 build 25314, you can enable an early preview of a new Windows Update option that allows you to choose to receive “moment” update features before they’re available to everyone.
The option is known as “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re ready for your PC,” and according to @phantomofearth3 (who spotted the feature), it appears to be an option you can enable to receive “moment” updates and other releases (such as those optional “C” and “D” updates available in the third and fourth week of the month) before they roll out to compatible devices.
If you want to get hands-on with the new feature, you can use a third-party tool called “ViveTool,” created by Rafael Rivera and Lucas on GitHub, to enable the option on your computer.
This guide will teach you the steps to turn on this new feature on Windows 11.
Enable new moment update preview option on Windows 11
To enable the new option to preview moment updates on Windows 11, use these steps:
Open GitHub website.
Download the ViveTool-vx.x.x.zip file to enable the new preview moment updates option.
Double-click the zip folder to open it with File Explorer.
Click the Extract all button.
Click the Extract button.
Copy the path to the folder.
Open Start.
Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
Type the following command to navigate to the ViveTool folder and press Enter:
cd c:folderpathViveTool-v0.x.x
In the command, remember to change the path to the folder with your path.
Type the following command to enable the new preview moment updates option and press Enter:
vivetool /enable /id:43132439
Restart the computer.
Once you complete the steps, the “Windows Update” settings page will include a new “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re ready for your PC” option that you can turn on to receive feature drop updates as soon as they are ready for your computer.
If you cannot see the option on Settings> Windows Update, you may need to create the “IsContinuousInnovationOptedIn” DWORD (32-bit) Value on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsUpdateUXSettings
using the Registry.
If you change your mind, you can revert the changes with the same instructions, but on step 10, make sure to use the vivetool /disable /id:43132439
command and then restart the computer.
