You may have noticed that there are times when certain buttons, checkboxes or windows in a software or Microsoft Windows operating system itself gets disabled or grayed out and clicking on them will have no effect. This limitation is there on purpose and for reasons like restricting the functionality until the software is activated or as a safety measure that requires to complete a step before allowing you to proceed to the next. It could also be a restriction set by the administrator to prevent other people from tampering the system and changing the configurations.
Logically most of the time the buttons are disabled for a good reason but there are times when you really need them enabled. For example, unlike fully functional trial software, some software demo has their main functionality crippled and you don’t get to test them out until you pay for a valid license to activate the software. Or perhaps the LiveUpdate button on Symantec Endpoint Protection client has been disabled and you urgently need to pull the latest signature from the server to detect the latest threats.
If you have a similar situation where you need to forcefully enable a disabled button, you can try any of the 6 tools listed below which we have successfully tested on Windows 7.

WinablerWinabler is a brilliant piece of tool that can enable the disabled objects such as buttons, checkboxes and even menus on a graphical user interface (GUI). Attempting to enable the grayed out buttons is easy as you only need to drag and drop the cross hair to the button that you want to enable. If you find an object that automatically disables after enabling it, you can tick on the checkbox “Repeatedly enable objects that continually disable themselves” below the crosshair. Another unique feature found in Winabler is the “menu capture and enabling”. Basically this function will capture all the menus on a window that Winabler can detect and then offers you to click on any of them regardless if they are enabled or disabled. Do take note that you should be clicking on the captured menu in Winabler instead of the source.

2. TurnItOn! / Enable!
Enable! previously known as TurnItOn! is a free and portable tool that offers slightly more control over the rest because it shows the lists of detected buttons and you can selectively choose to enable the disabled buttons. First you need to click and hold the “Drag me!” text, then drag and drop it to the disabled object. Then at the text, select the detected object that you want to enable followed by clicking the Enable! button. Other than just enable, you can also disable, show, activate and hide objects.

3. DM2
DM2 is actually a windows manager that allows you to manipulate opened windows such as putting it on top, minimizing to tray and etc. It supports custom plugins and by default it comes with one called WinEnable that simply enables disabled buttons and windows with a hotkey. Do note that it does not work right out of the box and requires assigning a hotkey to enable the command. Run DM2, double click on the DM2 tray icon at the notification area to bring up the settings and click on Hotkey. Click the Add button, set a hotkey and select “Toggle WinEnable module (Plugins)” from the command drop down menu. Click Save.
Whenever you want to enable a disable button, press the hotkey that you assigned earlier and you will notice an additional tray icon that looks like multiple windows loaded in the notification area. Move your mouse cursor to the grayed out button and click on it to enable it. Master of typing – tutor 1 2 3d.

4. Windows Enabler
If you are looking for an easy to use object enabling tool that works by clicking a single button, Windows Enabler is one of such tool. Windows Enabler is probably one of the first program that is able to enable disabled buttons because it was released 10 years ago and surprisingly it still works under Windows 7! The archive comes with 4 files and all you need to do is run Windows Enable.exe file and double click on the tray icon. When you see word “On” added to the tray icon, you can now click on any disabled buttons to attempt to enable it. There is no graphical user interface nor configuration windows.
Download Windows Enabler
5. Enabler
Enabler is a very small (60KB in file size) and simple tool that can be used to enable the disable Windows button with only a click of a mouse button. All you need to do is run the program and click the Enable button. The only drawback with such simple tool is you don’t know for sure whether it manage to detect the disabled button in the first place.

6. Daanav Enabler
Unlike all of the tools listed above, Daanav Enabler is a more up to date tool that is tested to work under Windows 8. To enable disabled windows, you can either click the “Enable Disabled” button or press the F6 key when your mouse cursor is hovered on the titlebar of the application window.
Although Daanav Enabler is new, our only gripe on this tool is it comes with an unnecessary installer when it is actually a very small program that is portable.
Download Daanav Enabler
Editor’s Note: If you are eager to test the programs above but currently can’t think of where to find a disabled button, try running Windows Task Manager. Simultaneously press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to launch Windows Task Manager and click on the Users tab. Then click on your user name and you will see the “Send Message” button grayed out / disabled. You can now enabling the Send Message button with any of the 6 tools that we have mentioned and it should work. Do note that not all disabled or grayed out buttons, checkboxes, radios and etc can be enabled.

IS there a tool for doing the opposite?I’m trying to install a software that has a checked greyed outbox. This causes it to begin an unnecessary download before installing the software, and in turn, a 404 error appears, saying the download could not be found which in turn stops the software from installing. Can anyone help me with this?
ReplyCan you tell us what the software/installer is?
ReplyIt’s actually the same tool, it will enable the checkbox (remove the grey) so you can turn it off (make unchecked).
ReplyI am using a chromebook so how do i install using chrome os?
Thanks for your help!
Replythank you very much, for winabler , it works great, helped me a lot, such a good thing i could find it, otherwise i would have installed windows 10 again , because of a grayed button.
ReplyJust found a note for myself that reminded me that you need to run Windows Enabler 1.1 as Admistrator. Just tried it and IT WORKS!
Tried Danaav Enabler the same way and it still did not work…not going to try more…

Unable to get any of these working for Windows 10, at least not with the Copy To button for User Profiles in the System control panel…anyone else have better success?
Replyuse tnt enforcer,i was able to enable the greyed copy to and open its window by it
ReplyRaymond, you are the best!!!!!!! You Always have solutions for my problems. Thanks from Brasil
ReplyI was hoping that newer tools than Windows Enabler would be able to ‘Enable’ the Copy to button underneath Profiles (in Windows 8.1). Like in Windows 7 it was very easy to copy a local profile to the default profile,
ReplyThank you very much MR Raymond I hope you all the best luck and prosperity. Keep going man you are marvelous.
ReplyI have imagine where to use this software. with this i can have unlimited access to a software in my school…
