I remember getting admin on all of the middle school computers back on windows 7 by doing this, you couldn’t just rename the file the same way as in the video, but you could put the pc into repair mode then there was a option to open the log of the repair after it finished, it opened in a txt file, you could navigate to the file and do all the changes there without needing admin, then once you booted the pc up you could get into the group manager and give your account admin lmao.
The memories with Windows XP in school… Replacing sethc with the command prompt opened so many doors for me. This allowed me to completely change my user to be an administrator and not a simple user. This opened so many doors like editing the proxy settings and what not. Golden times back in high school…
@@HogwartsBasement The latter. You cannot make yourself a DC admin using a non-AD DS account. Of course, that is using my knowledge of modern OS. This wouldn't stop someone from using exploit tools to get themselves elevated access through other means.
What happens here is that the login screen and the lock screen are on a separate desktops in Windows, for security reasons (Yes this means that when skype glitches out and remains on the lock screen, it's a security flaw). The login screen is running under the SYSTEM user (with more privileges than an Administrator, so you can do some nasty stuff from that command line), so everything launched from it also belongs to the system user. But since this user was never intended to be used by a real person there is no user profile for it at all, and that results in things not working, or crashing, and everything looking in the "default" way.
"This means that when Skype glitches out and remains on the lock screen, it's a security flaw" Nobody can break Microsoft's security measures better than Microsoft themselves
But first you need to login to an admin account first to replace sticky keys with cmd. In arch linux, I can just mount partitions and change the root password without logging in or entering the previous one
The hack I used to use to get into windows was to hit F1, from the help menu you could open another .HLP file, from the Open File screen it's easy enough to find explorer.exe, right click, launch. If there was a printer driver, you could hit Ctrl+P and usually find a route to the shell. Windows XP was ___NOT___ secure by any means.
Now I wonder... what happens if you swap the logonui between the different OSes, and more curiously, what happens if you replace them with Windows XPs "winlogon.exe"...
I tried to run ordinary executable files from one system to another, like calc.exe and mspaint.exe and system just prevents it to run. I dont know if it changes the result but I don't replaced the files itself and/or changed the file owner. I just tried to run these executables from another Windows folder on another disk.
I love how Win11 just becomes Win10... shows how much MS cares lol. But being able to be using the computer as SYSTEM is real interesting. Gives me some ideas.
Fun fact: when you’re in the Windows 10 post-installation setup screen, you can actually access the modern control panel (Windows 8 or above have two control panels: legacy/Win7 and modern) and personalize your system without having to activate the license (it cannot be carried on after the setup however and maybe saved into the system user instead due in fact the system logins as system user when the OS isn’t logging in to your username)
XP is rock-solid here. If the LoginUI can't run falling back on win logon without an error message or anything is really nice. Switch User following into "Lock" is equally genius.
Windows 11 is just Microsoft putting some new layers over Win 10 (New Texturepacks, changing some old Icons etc.). They do this with almost every Windows Version but especially on Windows 11 it feels very buggy and unfinished. Even the Win11 registry key for the version still says Windows 10.
"Even the Win11 registry key for the version still says Windows 10." A quotation: "Some registry values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion will be updated when upgrading to Windows 11; others will remain as they were on Windows 10 (or earlier). The major and minor version will remain 10.0 on Windows 11. Microsoft recommendation is that applications should use the relevant APIs to retrieve such information from the system (WMI, GetVersionEx, etc) rather than querying the registry Also there were requests have already been submitted to change these registry key values and rejected by the Windows team. Updating the registry value to “Windows 11” can cause compatibility issues with existing applications that rely upon the registry value containing specific strings."

Windows is such a weird hacky mess Edit: 14:20 is just over the top silly, I like that the taskbar has all the options that just make it superior to the W11 one
@@raidev_ Hmm, later I discovered that the task bar remained as at one point windows 11 was just a skinned version of 10 (which may no longer be the case), however this is still true for many programs in windows.
That is kinda irritating tho. I modified a registry in Win11 to have slim taskbar, like in Win10 (I dont like how wide new one is), and I think it broke seomthing with whole explorer.exe. I returned registries to the original state and it's still broken. But, in what way is it broken, you ask? Every time I now turn on the computer, it boots up Win10 Explorer instead of the new one. Not only that, but the taskbar is just empty and can't do anything with it. If I open any folder, it uses Win10 design for Explorer. In order to fix the taskbar, I have to open Task Manager and reboot explorer.exe. Oh, and don't think it's that easy. I have to restart explorer few minutes AFTER I log in, otherwise it keeps on booting up Win10 Explorer. One time Task Manager showed me two explorer.exe's unning - one was Win10, the other was Win11, but the Win10 somehow had the priority
I noticed another thing on Windows 10. Even if I don't run explorer, after a while looks like everything will be closed ( I tried Chrome, left for around 10 minutes ). Nice video!
Gotta hate that boring corporate minimalism for real, windows 7's got such a beautiful glass look. Instantly recognizable. And it's got so much customization with the color options and even opacity control
Win11 is basically a newly themed version of win10. No new features and updates. Even the "android app support" that Microsoft talks so much about is not built in the software.
The Windows 11 example shows exactly what I've been saying with Windows all along...Windows since 10, has been a bloated mess. Because everything that existed in the past was never actually replaced, just poorly built on top of it. The new interfaces don't actually communicate with the system like it used to before 10. It's just an interface built on top, which logs changes you make, makes those changes on the old way of doing things, and that old way then make changes. The Windows 11 taskbar is just bloat...it runs on top of the Windows 10 taskbar rather than just being built from the ground up like Microsoft claimed it was. Same goes for the settings app not being necessary, just another way to make changes that isn't using control panel directly, but indirectly. It adds a lot of bloat and makes the experience slow and clunky...
Replace LoginUI.exe with explorer.exe instead. Then maybe it will automatically load explorer without login. The you could even copy the registry hive from your normal user into the systemprofile. Now you may have a fully working system without login.
The explorer trick only works on windows 11, also just replacing logonui by explorer does not work, instead you have to do userinit, and then explorer will start on boot.
Sometimes when I log onto my terrible super slow computer, explorer runs before the sign in screen closes, but it only happens for a short time, so, no time to explore. Btw, I use windows 10. update: I got a new computer that has a faster hard drive, which has made logging in 10x faster. I no longer run into that issue.
I remember doing this in school so that i could change my account to admin. Worked perfectly and i could bypass all the different things that had been blocked on the computers
@@04lexm there was a trick to get it temporarily where you enter recovery mode and opened a txt file, from there you could press file>open then just navigate to the folder and change the name of sethc
@@nemo9324 it only works if there is no admin accounts at all, for example if its a store showcase laptop or pc, usually they dont put an admin pass which means theres no valid admin users (theres one but no way to logon), and in that case you can acces anything in the recovery screen, essentially giving you root acces.
So they basically remade the taskbar for windows 11 but didn’t bother adding core features like positioning and more options when you right click. Explains a lot. I’m assuming they are just rushing to release a half-baked os just like they did with windows 10, 8.1 and 8. They haven’t learned
So Windows 11 is just another Version built on top of the previous. I can’t believe they just did a completely new taskbar and just left the old one in the files.
11:14 Hmm.. on my PC, when I opened Task Manager on the login screen it displayed the 'Processes' screen correctly. Everything in Task Manager worked fine..
On one hand, it's kind of mean to try and be at the desktop as "system," but on the other hand, it is also mildly entertaining and maximally educational.
and i softlocked my host machine because i opened explorer with admin permissions on the logon screen so i couldn't end the process i was scared of useing taskkill because of the /im thing l so i decided to logon from the logonui then my host machine got softlocked then i had to shut the laptop down
The windows logon screen is being ran by a user (SYSTEM) and since he ran Explorer.exe He can play Minecraft on the system account Imagine opening Minecraft on the system account and finding a Minecraft world already saved on there (and also 2b2t in the server list because yes)
6:24 reminds me when I killed winlogon.exe on Windows 10 build 19041.1 Preinstallation Environment, it was trying to load the logon screen but can't so it showed that classic themed dialog
lol, that was more entertaining than I thought it would be. Looks like there's no school like the old school with how Windows XP handled it far better than Win7 and above. XD
If anything, this video showed us all what we really suspected.... that Windows hasn't *functionally* changed in 20 years - it's just bloated skin after bloated skin taped on top of the same big pile of rusty Win32 scrap iron we all know and love (and hate) lol.
I think the reason that in 8.1 and above, why UWP apps and processing showing doesnt work is because they require DWM, in the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen, DWM is running
It needs DWM to even display the sign-in screen, so it can't "not run" (in normal circumstances). The reason why UWP apps can't run on the sign-in screen is probably because SYSTEM's permissions are insufficient for that.
Or, you could just install this certain 'software' on a USB stick, plug it into the computer before you boot it up and skip the login screen completely- it's kinda pointless to even put a password on Windows since it's so easy to bypass. Thanks for showing this though, it's very interesting!

You can run calc on the windows 10 login screen by using windows 10 LTSC
Windows 10 LTSC has the same Calculator as Windows 7
World of OSes: "running explorer.exe on startup screen"
Me: uses the startup wallpaper
Also me: *ReAl*
LOL
Don't trick me it wasn't send 99 years ago and 1 day
Great comparison between the different Windows OS
Sometimes when I log onto my terrible super slow computer, explorer runs before the sign in screen closes, but it only happens for a short time, so, no time to explore. Btw, I use windows 10.
update: I got a new computer that has a faster hard drive, which has made logging in 10x faster. I no longer run into that issue.
you're
Windows is weird and interesting and I love it haha. Thank you for the interesting video!
I just danced to the music
Good old dubstep
Got this recommendation when browsing RUclips on my linux pc
I tried into Windows 2000 and i can logoff then it shows "It's now safe to shutdown your computer." the famous hidden message
TBH I just loved the loginui name change, now I can really mess with some people xD
I remember doing this in school so that i could change my account to admin. Worked perfectly and i could bypass all the different things that had been blocked on the computers
but how would you replace sethc.exe without admin because you have to change the permissions
@@04lexm there was a trick to get it temporarily where you enter recovery mode and opened a txt file, from there you could press file>open then just navigate to the folder and change the name of sethc
@@hakonjordbrk3976 yeah that existed in win 10 too but its patched since 20h2
@@SOTP. i did it on windows 11 it worked
@@nemo9324 it only works if there is no admin accounts at all, for example if its a store showcase laptop or pc, usually they dont put an admin pass which means theres no valid admin users (theres one but no way to logon), and in that case you can acces anything in the recovery screen, essentially giving you root acces.
I like this what happen series! I would like to see more
i made a windows 7 install which had the system account working like a normal account. i forgot how i did it, gonna look into it
Walk Home - Solar instantly reminds me of OSFirstTimer :D
surprised you dont have hundreds or thousands of subscribers ur so underrated
There's a reason: Subscribe now
He is making videos about obscure windows behaviour, and you want thousands interested?
@@ViktorHJ youtubers enderman and flytech videos make them
8:33 Cool music!
This is music is become my favorite!
Time to experiment on school pc 😏😏
Student accounts don't normally let you rename system files.
@@World_of_OSes Computers in my school used to have just an admin account so there is a chance this would work
@@World_of_OSes don't worry about it our school doesn't have student account. We have normal accounts and getting admin is easy.
But you can bsod pcs
@@World_of_OSesBecause the school computers are usually locked down.
So they basically remade the taskbar for windows 11 but didn’t bother adding core features like positioning and more options when you right click. Explains a lot.
I’m assuming they are just rushing to release a half-baked os just like they did with windows 10, 8.1 and 8. They haven’t learned
every windows OS made after windows 7 does not bring anything new thats useful and simply brings new shitty UI design, bloatware and worse performance
damn these UI inconsistancy layers are getting to another level, how is it that THE ENTIRITY OF THE EXPLORER IS WINDOWS 10 in win11 login
So Windows 11 is just another Version built on top of the previous. I can’t believe they just did a completely new taskbar and just left the old one in the files.
What?
Windows 11 22H2 does something different: ruclips.net/video/C26S3_PX--Y/видео.html
Windows 10 is like a normal desktop
But for it to run better you need to make like the extra folders like Documents, Images, Downloads, ect.
14:09 you can actually get the old taskbar back when signed in by editing a value in regedit while signed in
That no longer work as of build 22000.65. You'll have to use ExplorerPatcher instead.
11:14
Hmm.. on my PC, when I opened Task Manager on the login screen it displayed the 'Processes' screen correctly.
Everything in Task Manager worked fine..
Its weird, i think it depends on the version. I even found a version where the details tab also wont work.
Oh wow, this is neat. Never even thought to try this before.
Next time run userinit instead of explorer. Makes a lot more functions work
On one hand, it's kind of mean to try and be at the desktop as "system," but on the other hand, it is also mildly entertaining and maximally educational.
world of oses: does on a vm
me: does on my host machine
and i softlocked my host machine because i opened explorer with admin permissions on the logon screen so i couldn't end the process i was scared of useing taskkill because of the /im thing l so i decided to logon from the logonui then my host machine got softlocked then i had to shut the laptop down
@@nemo9324 net user /add defaultuser0
i tried doing it but then found the oobe folder then clicked on the app that runs oobe then it deleted all the data on my pc so dont do it
@@pbccandwtrbfan no i ran explorer on the logon screen and ended dwm.exe on my host
@@pbccandwtrbfan explorer is called explorer.exe sticky keys is called sethc.exe
This just shows how hacked together windows is
The windows logon screen is being ran by a user (SYSTEM)
and since he ran Explorer.exe
He can play Minecraft on the system account
Imagine opening Minecraft on the system account and finding a Minecraft world already saved on there (and also 2b2t in the server list because yes)
that isnt how it works-
Kind of like the root account in Linux, I wonder if (SYSTEM) has more access to the computer than a regular user account
@@zethcader6478 it has more acces.
5:25 That music brings back memories I didn’t even know I had.
I ****** it up on 8.1 it deleted cmd-
You are me but green brotha
6:24 reminds me when I killed winlogon.exe on Windows 10 build 19041.1 Preinstallation Environment, it was trying to load the logon screen but can't so it showed that classic themed dialog
so can you unlock any pcs with this?
I like how this video was made 2 years ago then you commented 15 hours ago and it got pinned
@@Vazmpii.youtube real
@@Vazmpii.youtubeHAHAHAHHAHA AYO😂
yea lol
@@MarcusGorbar lol
20:40 I customized the logon screen on purpose, and I also modified the logon window ui (msgina.dll on resource hacker)
The skin or the wallpaper?
both. it is also possible without launching explorer.exeby modifying the registry under hkey_users\.default, also made a visual style for xp by myself
XP is immortal-it can reboot while logonUI was renamed, while 7; 8.1; 10 and 11 can't.
XP still has the classic logon prompt which runs under winlogon.exe not logonui.exe
Anyway Windows XP is legenddary
lol, that was more entertaining than I thought it would be. Looks like there's no school like the old school with how Windows XP handled it far better than Win7 and above. XD
If anything, this video showed us all what we really suspected.... that Windows hasn't *functionally* changed in 20 years - it's just bloated skin after bloated skin taped on top of the same big pile of rusty Win32 scrap iron we all know and love (and hate) lol.
I think the reason that in 8.1 and above, why UWP apps and processing showing doesnt work is because they require DWM, in the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen, DWM is running
No
It needs DWM to even display the sign-in screen, so it can't "not run" (in normal circumstances).
The reason why UWP apps can't run on the sign-in screen is probably because SYSTEM's permissions are insufficient for that.
Plus, is that even English?
Windows is vulnerable 🔥🔥🔥
Or, you could just install this certain 'software' on a USB stick, plug it into the computer before you boot it up and skip the login screen completely- it's kinda pointless to even put a password on Windows since it's so easy to bypass. Thanks for showing this though, it's very interesting!

there's this amazing trick called MUTING YOUR DEVICE

The reason that windows 11 login screen explorer had windows 10 ui is cause microsoft used windows 10 ui as a kind of a back up ui in critical cases the OS switches to it this is the same in windows 10 they used windows 7 ui as a kind of backup ui in critical cases in stress conditions windows 10 switches to that windows 7 ui (i actually got that once when playing minecraft lol and u can also see it in the installer) it's kinda weird that windows 10 didn't use windows 7 ui on login screen
