Did not work here... Shame...

I tried the GP and the enable reg file but nothing appeared so as well as that I then also did the following........

Download the latest vivetool (0.21 as of today) and then open an elevated command prompt inside the folder you unzip it to.

At the prompt type and run.......

vivetool.exe addconfig 27368843 2

Then type and run......

vivetool.exe addconfig 27371152 2

You will need to restart your computer for it to work. I have not yet figured out how to make enable "open on hover" and "reduce task update" menu items as both ways @Brink showed don't work for me (see below)



I do however now have it on the taskbar.and it works....




Just to confirm I have Enterprise and the latest Chromium Edge.

Run the deactivation as described in this link . Restart computer, then do what I said in the post above.

This is it, now it is working fine, first i run the vivetool:
vivetool delconfig 29947361 0
vivetool delconfig 27833282 0
vivetool delconfig 27368843 0
vivetool delconfig 28247353 0
vivetool delconfig 27371092 0
vivetool delconfig 27371152 0
vivetool delconfig 30803283 0
vivetool delconfig 30213886 0

Reboot.

now only vivetool.exe addconfig 27368843 2
and vivetool.exe addconfig 27371152 2
Reboot.


All Okay. Thank you for the Tipp, i have the Windows 10 21 H1 19043.964, its running on Lenovo T500, W500 very good with switchable Graphics.
Best Regards

Great! I'm glad I was able to help you fix it.

So I just updated to the optional update that was supposed to add this, however its just not there on the taskbar etc.

I did disable the "reconcilefeatures" task to stop that blasted header from appearing on my settings menu, is that potentially the cause? I would think the update enabled the feature without requiring to call home but I could be wrong.

Do the Group Policy thing in the first post (I selected Enable). The run the enable reg file also in the first post.

Restart. Then.......

Download the latest vivetool (0.21 as of today) and then open an elevated command prompt inside the folder you unzip it to.

At the prompt type and run.......

vivetool.exe addconfig 27368843 2

Then type and run......

vivetool.exe addconfig 27371152 2

Restart.

Then it will be there
