    Anyone else notice the typo in the Interactive Services Detection window?
    It says "The program might need information *form* you"
    You can see it at 2:00
    I guess Microsoft kind of neglected this feature so it didnt get the same quality checks the others got.
    Edit: they corrected the typo in windows 8.1+!

  • @tomaschku
    @tomaschku 4 года назад +11

    Interesting that they even carried that feature over to Win10 at all. (Since Win10 was supposed to be so modern and backwards compatability was cut down greatly. Also, they probably wanted companies to finally move on from old code, since they blocked mouse/keyboard input first and thus encouraged customers to annoy the hell out of them.)
    Also, while this may not be in direct connection with Session 0, there is a way to enable GUI Interaction for services (at least in services.msc). Maybe, possibly, that could do something? I never coded a service, but I know you can do a lot with a custom one. (Like PsExec which uses a service to elevate to SYSTEM.)
    Also I think Process Explorer could do something interesting (Reading process info about a session 0 process, trying to read threads or send a message to that session), but I currently can't check that.

    Can you do a video on SECDRV.SYS and possibly how to safely re-enable it on Windows 10? It is known as "Secure Drive" and it was used for DRM like SafeDisk for some old disk games used to prevent disk copying. This was completely removed in Windows 10 and later removed in 8.1, 8 and 7. I am not sure in Vista but Windows XP still has it. The removal of this broke a whole lot of good old games as the system can't read the disk properly any more. It is a system driver, but also a service.

      Secure Drive, along with the DRMs that made use of it, is inherently unsafe. You'd be much better off finding the game on Good Old Games and getting it there. If that doesn't work find a """legal"" (wink) no-DRM copy of it online.

    the cmd.exe you run in session 0 doesn't seem to exit 7:50
    what if you wrote a batch file that loops and grabs the user input then exacutes it as the system user.
    this technique is one i used to circumvent my schools block on cmd.exe
    since the batch file will be running as a script instead of a terminal
    its been a while so it might be incorrect but if i remember correctly
    top:
    set /p usr
    %usr%
    goto top
    should do it
