"The Windows 11 Run dialog box is one of the oldest pieces of user interface still in use. It works just fine, but it has an aesthetic that harkens back to earlier versions of Microsoft's operating system. Now, that's set to change. Redmond is testing a new version of the Run dialog box, if you have one of the latest Beta or Dev Insider builds installed."
"If you want to enable the new Run dialog box on your PC and have the requisite Windows Insider build installed, you must start by downloading the ViveTool, a utility that allows you to turn on hidden features. Then unzip the ViveTool to a new directory you'll call C:\vive. Launch the command line with administrator privileges. To do that, search for "cmd" in Windows search, right click on the top result and select Run as administrator. At the command prompt, change to the C:\vive directory."
"The new Run dialog box is longer than the old one and, perhaps because it's still in testing, covers over part of the taskbar. As with the classic one, you invoke it by hitting Windows key + R. Note that this covers over the Start button and taskbar icons if you have your Start menu aligned to the left. That isn't a problem with the classic Run dialog box, which appears above the taskbar."
The Windows 11 Run dialog box has a legacy appearance and is being replaced with a longer redesigned version that currently overlays the taskbar. The new Run dialog requires Windows Insider build 26220.7523 or newer and must be manually enabled. Enabling requires downloading ViveTool, unzipping it to C:\vive, launching an elevated command prompt, changing to C:\vive, running vivetool /enable /id:57156807,57259990,58527096,58381341, rebooting, then toggling Run dialog on under Settings > System > Advanced. The new dialog is invoked with Windows key + R and can be toggled off in Settings.
