Here is a way to force enable “Consumer ESU Feature”:
all commands must be executed in Command Prompt as administrator
– install update 2025-08 KB5062649 (19045.6159) Preview
it may work with update KB5062554 (19045.6093), but i didn’t test
– check registry to see the current state:
reg.exe query "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ConsumerESU"
if “ESUEligibility” value is non-zero “0x0”, then the feature is already enabled
– make sure “Connected User Experiences and Telemetry” (DiagTrack) service is not disabled
sc.exe config DiagTrack start= auto
sc.exe start DiagTrack
– add the following registry
reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides" /v 4011992206 /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
– restart the system
– run the evaluation:
cmd /c ClipESUConsumer.exe -evaluateEligibility
– check registry to see the result:
reg.exe query "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ConsumerESU"
verify that “ESUEligibility” value is non-zero “0x0”
– “ESUEligibility” value mapping:
0: Unknown / Feature is not enabled
1: Ineligible
2: Eligible
3: DeviceEnrolled
5: MSAEnrolled
8: LoginWithPrimaryAccountToEnroll
– “ESUEligibilityResult” value mapping:
1: Success
3: Non-Consumer edition
4: Commercial device
5: Non-Admin account
6: Child account
7: User Region is Embargoed
8: Azure device
11: Unknown / Feature is not enabled
# p.s.
You can also use ViVeTool to enable the feature (19045.6036 update at least + DiagTrack service enabled)
ViVeTool.exe /enable /id:57517687
After these steps then go to Windows Update and finish the process of signing up for ESU.
