💻 The reasoning behind Windows 11 requirements The Windows OOBE intro is actually a 4500x3000@30fps video file. Microsoft strategically encoded it to take up only 580KB, which isn't all too surprising. However, they chose the worst way of dealing with simple…

Due to popular demand, I hacked Windows 11 SE to run executables. Plenty of fresh juicy content.
This was in plans ever since I hacked Windows 10 S a year ago, but the year 2023 had its own plans... Anyway, I'm glad to have this off the table.
The YouTube video is coming out as soon as I finish editing! 😉

Here's a little excerpt of an official Microsoft document for Intune customers shining light on why Microsoft bumped the Windows version up to 11.
«The goal with Windows is still the same, regardless of number. Our commitment to drive innovation, bring
people together and build the best version of Windows remains. We said we would always update
Windows, so our commitment remains to give people the best version of Windows»
Immensely satisfied to see them admit the major version number bump changed nothing. If you are capable of reading between the lines, that's exactly what the quote above implies.

This looks so... unbelievably... amazing. Now compare this to what we have now... the stale boring light theme.

🗂 Speeding up Windows Explorer
If the folder hasn't been explicitly determined in the registry before, the auto discovery feature makes Windows Explorer parse every single file in that folder, causing folders with thousands of files to load outrageously slowly. It also makes your HDD spin up whenever you enter such a folder.
To fix that atrocity, create a registry file with the following contents and execute it:
This registry «hack» works both on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
This is a crazy discovery that has already changed my life.

The further I'm into Windows research, the more I respect Windows. People calling it «slow bloatware», following up with the all-time classic — comparing it to Linux really are clueless.
For example, the deployment system is ridiculously solid, though the features are hidden to an ordinary user. From what I can tell, the focal point Microsoft has been improving on for the last 10 years is the enterprise management system.
Windows in general could be better. It's a shame it isn't. So much wasted potential.
It makes sense — enterprises make them money 💰💸

Microsoft will offer Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 starting at $61 for the first year.
That's nothing new from Microsoft, but it symbolizes the end of support inevitably looming over...

Microsoft blocks third-party tools from setting the default browser again, now using the «User Choice Protection» driver.
That's a really aggressive measure not seen before.
