What are the AI Components on Windows 11

To bring users a more personalized and convenient experience, Microsoft is now accelerating its plans to combine Windows 11 with AI elements. In the latest release of Windows 11 build 26016, there is a hidden page called "AI Components" that will allow users to view and remove any AI features in the operating system.

Note: This version has not been officially rolled out yet, so the "AI Components" is just a placeholder for a hidden development feature that has no practical use at this time, but we should see more about it in a later update.

Even though the "AI Component" in Windows 11 doesn't have any real functionality at the moment, if you're curious, you can force it to be enabled and view the page by using the ViVeTool application. This can be risky and you should back up your computer data before you start.

Step 1: Download the ViveTool from GitHub into a customized file, extract it, and complete the installation.

Step 2: Type "CMD" in the search bar and run the program as administrator.

Step 3: Use the cd command to navigate to the ViveTool folder, for example, if the ViveTool folder is located in Program Files (x86) on drive C, type "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\ViVeTool-v0.3.3". Anyway, this command depends on your actual path.
