- Hello, my friends! Let's hit 20K likes? Check out my website! enderman.ch
Today I am going to show you another batch of hidden features and undocumented functionality Microsoft kept in Windows 11! I shared all of my findings on my Twitter (@endermanch) prior to the video release, but since many of you do not use Twitter (keep going strong like this!) I felt obligated to make a sequel to the original OOBE code review video showcasing everything else I found.

Hope you have a great day!

if you press windows 5 times on the setup screen, you would get the "work or school" setup page. i actually do use it a lot while working for my school's IT to install configuration profiles while also allowing the student themselves to set up the machine.
Does it work on older windows?
@@thewubmachine840 10 as well

@@wingit7335 That will be so useful bro ty
i thought it was SHIFT+F10

I love how windows just doesn't use their UI frameworks anymore. They straight up use React / React Native. since they know they can't stabilize an UI framework without deprecating it within 3 years lol
Cant blame them tbh, being able to just straight code in CSS is way too powerful.
@@MthaMenMon Yea, so they should just focus on react native (or make their own alternative that is stabilized) instead of remaking wpf every 3 years lol
In all fairness, the XP oobe (and I think the log in page?) was also done in web browser. And so was the account creation part of settings
How sad is it that Apple uses Windows' native frameworks to write their Windows software but Microsoft can't be bothered.
change that "I love" into an "I hate". Fr, it's super annoying. Especially when you want to code native, cross-platform(ish) UI. It's very quickly outdated
6:33 Lauching the OOBE from a window is kinda crazy lol
sometimes being way too slow on an LGA 775 cpu
facts
the oobe lore gets deeper and deeper every day
8:17 OneDrive randomly saying hello 😂
Bye
Windows Hello
Onedrive: Hi man how are you!
it syncs too!
The first flaw... In build 21380, you would see the Windows 10 wallpaper instead
@NikoOneshot_Windose You know why I call it a flaw? Because it exists on modern-day Windows 11.
I mean, the ability that you can see the wallpaper through the OOBE, not the wallpaper itself.
@@pb-doslegacy2020Huh... I always thought its a feature. You know... Since MS loves keeping or adding things that nobody asked for or things that almost nobody will see or even notice.
@@pb-doslegacy2020that's probably because defaultuser0's desktop background was still the Windows 10 background
My favorite "how is windows even working its so broken" content creator
I think that amalgamation of everything culminating in this flaming pile of code should be renamed to ShitpostOS
i mean that's like if i prodded around in your brain and you started malfunctioning, and then i said "what a flaming pile of shit, this thing should be renamed to Shitpost"
shitpOSt
The zoom in happens because OOBE is a web application, but I didn't knew about the Windows Autopilot for OEMs! And i also knew about the ms-cxh protocol, because you can run OOBE in windowed mode by using it. Interesting video!
What's the oobe web aplicattion link? (Make periods into spaces)
@@RustyOSC it's not a link it's local
NTH is probably for "NT Hello", because every time one is executed Windows Hello is featured
Yeah that's the easiest about it... But the qustion is what NGC is supposed to mean.
@appleleptiker next generation credential
@@appleleptiker*nintendo gamecube*
@@DanTDMJaceThe acronym for the GameCube is "GCN" for some reason. Nothing makes sense.
@@gragogflying-anvil3605 that's because ngc is an acronym for National Geographic Channel. So if nintendo used ngc they would get sued or people would be confused
8:28 Yeah, fix me by removing Windows 11 from the SSD and get the shit out of there.
Now, can you run doom in the OOBE? (without modifying the install)
YES
No because Windows is worthless, and things that can't run DOOM are worthless
@@koopatroopa6882Linux user?
@@koopatroopa6882Nice try.
But Windows can run DOOM and the OOBE can do that aswell in theory, since the OOBE is a web application. I believe they first started using web apps in the Windows XP OOBE.
Just press shift f10. Type explorer into cmd and you can open any EXE file
7:31 i’m not sure if this is 100% correct but i think the UC can stand for user creation. it’s really the only sensible thing that comes to mind when thinking of the acronym.
i thought of "user challenge". signing in its sometimes referred to as a "challenge".
just thought of another possibility: credential
Okay so I originally wrote this before finishing the video. That kids is why you only comment after the video is done.
[Comment before Finishing Video]
At 5:25, my best guess would be “InTune Hello Enterprise Next-Generation Cryptography Only,” as MS refers to Windows Hello as NGC.
this is what happens when you prioritize form over function
what are you even yapping about
@@Abigblueworld does bro read the dictionary
Not really I'm not a nerd@@technological69
unfortunately they did not prioritize forms either, wpf sucks
@@0xAAA oof that’s good!
Didn't know OOBE was a web app, lol.
Great vid, as always!
PS: There's only nine views and 93 likes? WTH.
actually its been a web app since xp
@@bloctans_4yep. I'm not sure about 8x, but 10 and 11's system Metro apps are all web based. Even the taskbar and start on 11 is web based and on release could launch caret browsing.
actually, it's a native app in vista and 7
@@_kitaes_ forgot about that oops
@@_kitaes_ Nope its actually a hybrid of both
Love to see all the piled up remnants of Windows 10, they really didn't bother cleaning anything up... Nice video, as always!
That may be because Windows 11 is just a prettier version of Windows 10. Just with less features in some parts.
@@appleleptiker Yeah, and even so, there's still the big pile of remnants from every older Windows NT version too.
Great nod to Journey To Silius with the first song!
Did you know that it was supposed to be a Terminator game before the project was canned?
There's a Romancing SaGa song as well!
Windows 11 is probably the most buggiest OS of all time
YEAH, FIRST I GOT A FREEZE THAT MADE ME RESET MY ENTIRE COMPUTER FROM SCRATCH!😥
cant tell you how many times ive seen a purple screen
PSOD????? I NEVER SEEN THAT
@@technological69
windows me
oh@@As2Bax
0:29 meow :)
The reason I subbed is because I’m so interested in the process of all your videos. It’s truly amazing
Fun fact: The first logon animation has both an html and exe form. And the html is just some svgs that are somehow animated, maybe with the JavaScript they added. Also, the "Back in a moment" and "Getting critical updates" strings are actually fallbacks embedded within the html of the FirstLogonAnim.html, located in C:\Windows\System32\OOBE
I'm so glad you are back! Keep that content up :D
I dont want to imagine What the oobe of Windows 12 would be...
Straight up C# code lmao
I mean... the OOBE being a web application is nothing new.
Just look at the OOBE from Windows XP and even potentially the login screen from XP.
You can soon make your own OOBE in NTlite is my guess lol
I remember having to use one of those ms-cxh comments at work. Our laptops had a fucked user policy which didn't allow us to set up Microsoft hello, which we needed for bitlocker and for other sensitive applications, like the VPN app. Using one of those InTune commands would let us set up Microsoft hello, bypassing the restricted settings app
This was on windows 10 by the way
@@ILoveWomenWindows 11 is pretty much 10. So that sounds fair
Great selection of music. Reminds me to try GPW2 again (now that I'm a bit better), and GPW3.
This man is on a streak! Keep GOING ANDREW!
2 videos in 2 days 😮!? Keep it up! And post what you discovered!🥳
I'm very curious how you're opening the command prompt from the OOBE. Is there like a keyboard shortcut for it? Do you have to manually configure something to have a keyboard shortcut or is it already there
Shift + F10
@@Endermanch how do you configure it to do that? I tried Shift+F10 but it just acts like I right-clicked or pressed ALT
@@SpringySpring04 only works in OOBE
@SpringySpring04 it only works during OOBE, and that is if it isn't running in S mode.
Fun fact: you can also use win + R, which brings the "run" command. From there, you can run "taskmgr" and create either "cmd" or "conhost" tasks. (you can also do the same in the "run" window)
If it gives you one of those windows "smartscreens" saying that it cannot run "cmd", then that's how you know it's in S mode.
@@Wake_up._This_isnt_your_world Oh cool, thanks for the info. This is all really interesting stuff to me
You actually can basically refresh the OOBE window by ending it in task manager. This is because when you actually do try to close out of it, OOBE will just start again.
hey can u pass the popcorn?
yes
yes
Sure
you mean the private movie torrent tracker?
yes
nth looks to be OneDrive prompt, wlt is just a direct access to the Windows License Transfer screen
1:18 its the same on Windows 10X but with the Windows 10X default wallpaper
This kinda reminds me of Windows ME.. DOS kernel that was being updated finally became a big hot bowl of bugs.. If they develop future version of Windows, they need to rewrite this system.
6:11 after i try this in a win 11 device using an account instead of an error it will say to make an backup with onedrive
in case anybody dont know about this
I know this
I think is windows backup in oobe
I can not decode as well as enderman can
Means enderman is better than decoding that me
imagine someone copies the entire windows 11 into a fully functional OS but in a browser.
maybe wltuc stands for windows loading transition user creation?
Truly one of the operating systems ever released
Idea : installing old msedge from Windows 10 on Windows 11
the kitty in the background do be eepy tho
Is there gonna be a malware 11? Also love your vids
enderman you made me learn how to even code and all of dat stuff I love your content so much
I like how you open your cmd from your inventory.
I tried these commands on windows 10 (1809), some have similar result as windows 11 (with 10 ui) but some just crash while opening Microsoft account window.
...With the Windows 10 UI because 11 is just the prettier Windows 10. Just look at the settings from 11 and then at the defender settings from 11... One is completely redesigned. The other is just completely recycled from Windows 10.
While we are playing the guessing game with acronyms.
wltuc could possibly mean Windows Loading Screen Transition and User Credentials?
Ive used it for 3 years now and in the way i use it, its not really buggy besides from the audio switching inputs (maybe not a bug but idk)
My favourite windows guy. Keep the good work!!
Those cloud host shortcuts are exactly the way I name my documents
Wow! Your music choise is nice, i enjoyed the video 😊
The windows 11 boot screen loading animation is a font I was shocked to see that but it’s apparently real
nice video and good music choice!
@Enderman when are you gonna make an tutorial on installing internet drivers onto micro11
0:25 is that’s a cat?
0:21 cat appears
The UC in WLTUC from 7:39 is actually User Control, I believe.
Probably actually user creation, but good thinking!
@@Shauqinu thx
1:29 something to note about the background
If you force it to run as a window it will use whatever your desktop wallpaper was at the time
6:50 someone didn't finish the video!
Endermanch read my comment !@@Endermanch
@@EndermanchSo it will be a part 3 right?
@@Endermanch yeah lol
Commented this right before you talked about it
wltuc = "Windows License Transfer User Control"?
NEW ENDERMAN VIDEO WOOOOOOOOO
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
Do I hear the bgm from Journey to Silius (NES)?
Probably Stage 2 Theme, but in the snes (SMW hack)
Yooo new fresh batch of vids❤
7:16 windows license transfer user control maybe
Edit scoobe means Second sCreen Out Of Box Experience
Are they’re more of it along with OOBE? Still we needed more.
windows vista even was better than 11 with everything.. windows osses under 10 was best
When a System like Windows 10 become stable and fixed anything after many years. They will stop support to people change to windows 11 with fresh buggy.
I remember when I had my Windows 10 before installing Windows 11. So, I already found a bug that crashed into the black screen in Windows 11 when I played the game on the internet. I was not too fond of Windows 11 due to failure. I have re-installed back into my Windows 10. It was nearly 3 years ago. ;-;
2:17 stage 3 journey to silius
Idk why but when i installed windows 11, my fps came down from 120 to 50ish 💀
Im sticking to windows 10. If windows 12 aint gonna be good then im going linux bruh
(I installed all drivers in windows 11)
Random question, do you know what music you used in this video?
i think all of us know it because he has mentioned it in the video
As a wise man once said, it's not a bug, its a feature
Maybe UC means user controlled? 7:39
the fact i got a windows 11 ad just before...
enderman, i just learned on my computer, that if you delete a user's folder but not the user itself, it will just make an almost infinite loading screen which can end, and let you into the system with a broken start menu
that is random
Yeah... I guess Windows tries to restore some things because it notices that something has gone wrong.
But the broken start menu makes sense, since start menu items are stored in the user folder (most of the items at least)
two new enderman videos so soon... we are living in heaven
I forgot my pizza in the over
Can you remind me to go eat? (Literally)
42 sec
0:25 is a cat?
Hey you dont want to make a video about making a consistent windows 11? E.g. remove all UWP apps including settings and replace them entirely with control panel
0:36 amazing
Lovely music playlist!
The Windows 11 OOBE is just a customised Electron app that makes direct NodeJS contact to the kernel to set things up. It's lazy compared to the WindowsXP days and is honestly just stupid.
Like to remove windows 11 from existence. Then we can just jump to windows 12...
5:01 This should actualy show when logging in.
cool video
Its alwaus
6:54 I'm 100% certain that it is.
Nice video. Glad to see you're back!
You should do this with windows 10 it's a hot mess of random bugs
make a video about installing windows on btrfs
You are most likely busy or sleeping right now, but please make a video where you delete a string in windows 11 code and if nothing happens delete another string until the machine breaks
Windows 11 - 40% OS/ 60% Easter eggs
well i haved tride on my windows 11 pc and "wlt" is "reactive windows" while "nth" directs me to the page that introduce microsoft 365
I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but I didn’t experienced these issues before, and also maybe I will experience these issues if i reinstall windows, so for this time, I will NOT reinstall Windows 11, I will only reinstall Windows 11 when these issues are fixed and I have issues using windows 11 or the operating system is broken, and also, I use a Microsoft account, because it recovers my data if I reinstall windows, and I use Microsoft Edge because it syncs your browser history every time need to reinstall windows, and also, I have been watching your channel for a while now, and I still like it because you edit your videos really well.
...Firefox also syncs your data with an account. Chrome does as well with your Google account.
Anyways... The issues in the video were self-induced. You're not even going to get a command prompt, since you'd have to open it by yourself. And since you're obviously a kid... I doubt that you even know how to open it in the OOBE.
And these "issues" will never be fixed. They've been there since Windows 10. Which would mean that you can NEVER reinstall Windows.
@@appleleptiker Yeah, I know how to open the command prompt in the oobe, it is shift+f10, because in the installer, pressing shift+f10 is also the shortcut.
how do you zoom like that at the beginning?
after 2 month a new video ! i love ur videos/content
Welp, since the oobe can be windowed and full screen, lets try to run the oobe in the oobe
I thought he did that in the video...
@@GamerGator665kinda sorta
Windows assemblers will be making their oobe soon
hey wife wake up new endermanch video
babe new enderman
0:27 CAT
Maybe I'll stick to Windows 95
Love the content!
