The Windows XP OOBE was a web thing as well. An IE6-based web thing. And it was much longer on some OEM systems. Perhaps try looking into hacking that next?
@@coleisforrobotYeah, there were a few others in XP, like the User Accounts control panel. The help was heavily HTML-based too, although the shell around it might have been more traditional.

@@Mango-cn7gj I have never mentioned any "modding side" whatsoever, and even then there's still no harm in including it. The worst thing you can do is just break your own Windows installation.

@@BlueSheep777 no, "source-available" means "look but don't touch", open source means "do whatever you want as long as you provide attribution and don't sue us for damages (BSD) and use the same license and provide the source code (GPL)" Source-available is more like a printed book, just because it's DRM-free and anyone can read it, it doesn't mean you can legally make copies of it or distribute modified versions to others
holy crepes this is one of the most based videos about windows 11 I have ever seen, not only did you mod windows 11's oobe to be more... appealing, but you were also listening to ride the lightning by metallica in the background, that's just epic 👌🔥
Sysprep is what for example companys use as well. They customize their install with it for mass deployments. Although Sysprep struggles with all that bloatware preapplied by Microsoft. It will fail to sysprep your machine because of all the AppXPackages preinstalled. They need to be removed before you can sysprep your machine.
Actually autorun installer used to work in PE perfectly fine, at some point I was installing almost everything, even XP, that way, because I was working with old motherboards that had issues with booting from large (127+ GB?) USB drives
Honestly HTML/CSS is the best UI framework I've ever used as far as customization and ease of use goes. Pair it with a advanced framework like Angular and you've got a powerful toolbox for UI development. Could be done for customization purposes but it could also be done simply because HTML/CSS is great to develop with. (JS not so much, but TypeScript helps a lot.) Another benefit is that you can develop UIs that work in a web browser, on mobile, and on the desktop, and they all can share the same code. Of course that wouldn't apply in this case.
i just copied the entire *"Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy"* folder to a usb drive, dragged the *default.html* file into a browser, pressed the ctrl + shift + j and it also works there only problem is that i'm seeing this error when i press those said keys: Unhandled exception: Script error. file: line: 0
i also had fun with the *jsConsole.js* file, i tried including it in my test html files and it was convenient to just press three keys than pressing f12 for the console
For anyone wondering, console.log didnt work probably because console.log is native to the browser and is "unreadable" to the dev console - which is probably just an eval and only has "access" to the expression's return value
who can dislike this masterpiece kek, now jokes aside; it was actually pretty much obvious the oobe was a web app at first glance, pretty much sad how microsoft is making all a web app.
Why the hell is 4k video played at oobe? The generic drivers are the only thing in place by that time, must lag like hell, and since 800x600 is the max resolution with generic drivers if im remebering correctly, you're viewing 4k video at 17 times lower resolution
Possibly because most people see the OOBE after buying a new PC or upgrading Windows, in which case there's already GPU drivers installed. Windows might also try to install drivers automatically as it prepares for OOBE after a fresh install if you have ethernet. I still to this day wonder why Microsoft does not preload drivers for various GPUs that get installed whenever said GPU is detected.
@@laglife Microsoft used to include drivers for common video cards through Windows 7. I don't know about 8 but in 10 they only included the "Microsoft Basic Dispaly Adapter". Modern video card drivers are absolutely huge and they probably wanted to save a bit of space for their own "features".
I'm not sure about the benefits of custom solutions... If OOBE were modular, then there would be no questions, and I would even make a beautiful version myself now. But since it's part of the installer, I don't want to distribute or download custom Windows builds of them because of the nice installer, because there are often viruses... Thanks for the video! I'm wondering why js isn't minified. Usually, when I come across web application reversing, it's just a mountain of garbage of minifications, obfuscations, and webpack.
hey btw. for those wondering, the reason why sometimes you cant allocate space for drives on windows is because it isnt formatted correctly. and no, windows does not make the tool easy to find :)
Damn look to that resources files it reminds me the good old day of programming win32 api with c++. It gives me flashback to my childhood programming journey 😌
Honestly, the customization of the OOBE would be useful for OEM's too! My HP laptop (which I have Ubuntu on right now due to driver issues) uses a dark mode theme by default, so a dark mode OOBE would fit right at home!
Oobe is nothing new, I use the crt shift f3 to customise customers backups so that they have all their drivers pre installed before they enter the desktop, I knew windows xp oobe could be edited along with the installer, but I had no idea it was this easy to do it, thanks for sharing, you haven’t found America but you have highlighted the easiness of editing the out of box experience menus
quick question: can I convert this to my own ISO file I always wanted to make a operating system can I change the menu left right like chain pictures and more? thank you for this what's the name from your iso converter
im pretty sure you arent editing the sources directly, its pluggable through some api or tool for oems. just like you have unattend.xml for applying settings in a supported manner and not requiring hacks like intercepting the boot process to manually do what the unattend already does, either registry change or policy or executing programs
Fun fact: the "This might take a few minutes." background blue thing is a webpage with 0% video. So.. they could just do the same to the 4K intro video...
I love how the OOBE is extremely bugged by itself too On a trackpad on the Windows 10 one doing the zoom in and out gesture works but it is extremely buggy since it is not intended (this is because it should be a webapp?) If your display driver installs before the OOBE starts you have a desktop on one screen and the OOBE on the other. I don't know if this still works but on Windows 10 home connecting to the internet then using settings from ease of access and disconnecting from the Internet via the app should let you create a local account (this is what I remember worked once atleast)
It's glorious. Spywaresoft wanted to make sure everyone would get win11 and hoped people would stop using win10, 7 and xp, they never thought about this. With this, we've pretty much got for the first time, our own "arch-like" windows.

Fun sequence break I did a while back Set a high contrast theme the more obvious the change the cooler this will look (set background to very dark color and other text accordingly) Force oobe to start in a window You now have dark mode oobe Also based off of this you could entriely with enough time make a fully dark mode oobe with the blur background (this seems to get a copy of the user wallpaper) Also can’t wait for the bad bootlegs that have oobe to completely mutilate it Also didn’t know it ran in audit mode probably explains why the oobe image background didn’t match the oem one

I wonder why, but Microsoft Windows contains a lot of Microsoft Open Source Software. Windows Calculator, PowerShell, Terminal, .NET, Edge, PowerToys, etc. are all FOSS!
Hey i have been thinking of something that might actually be quite weird. What would happen if you used dism to pack a full standard windows distro and then put that wim file inside a PE boot cd would it boot???? Example: Windows Preinstallation Enviroment during the file copy process this enviroment is used and stored on the medium in folder src and the enviroment is stored at the file boot.wim what if that file was a full enviroment instead would windows F it up again? Because in linux this is indeed posible have a full live enviroment

I wonder why, but Microsoft Windows contains a lot of Microsoft Open Source Software. Windows Calculator, PowerShell, Terminal, .NET, Edge, PowerToys, etc. are all FOSS!
This will be an banger again. Thanks Enderman ;)
Hey i have been thinking of something that might actually be quite weird. What would happen if you used dism to pack a full standard windows distro and then put that wim file inside a PE boot cd would it boot???? Example: Windows Preinstallation Enviroment during the file copy process this enviroment is used and stored on the medium in folder src and the enviroment is stored at the file boot.wim what if that file was a full enviroment instead would windows F it up again? Because in linux this is indeed posible have a full live enviroment
