The old Secrets of Windows 11

There are actually still more Windows 3.x remnants, one of which is inside the Command Prompt. If you open the Properties window by right clicking on the title bar (which literally no other program does these days) and go to the size section, you'll see a preview which uses a menu button and a minimize and maximize button, the same style as 3.1's window controls. In MCC, the "multi document interface" is used (basically the Program Manager interface which let you have multiple sub windows inside one parent window), even though there's very little point to it. The child windows also use the Windows Aero Basic theme.

I feel Windows is the definition of "If it works, don't fix it."
Except Microsoft thought control panel didn't work.

Retrocompatibility is good. But I think the problem is that Microsoft's idea of retrocompatibility is just building the new version on top of the old one and then hide it. That means every new version is more bloated and you end running way too much unnecessary code that slows the system.

Also, Windows 11 doesn't add anything that users want, it's just "features" that Microsoft (and other enterprises) wants to have tighter control of the userbase.

When you press Alt+F4 on the desktop (not in a program), it brings up the Windows 2000 shutdown dialogue.

That's amazing how deep backward compatibility goes in modern-day Windows and I knew you would mention the File Manager (9x) and Command Prompt (MS-DOS) remnants. Even old dialog isn't changed which can be confusing. Microsoft needs to step it up.

Remember, Windows currently is built on the NT "New Technology" kernel, which was created back in the early 90s to replace the aging DOS-based system that existed. The first version,
Windows NT 3.1, was basically Windows 3.1 but with a completely different subsystem. It's unsurprising that a few leftovers from this point still partially exist.

The entire goal of Windows is to be as backwards compatible with previous releases as possible. To Micro$oft's credit, they managed to do this pretty well. Device drivers from Windows 2000 theoretically work on 11 (except for video and hardware accelerated sound drivers). Software for Windows XP works fine on 10 most of the time. In comparison, trying to compile and run old applications on Linux is a mess of dependency hell, and precompiled binaries from previous versions of Linux only sometimes work. The advantage of this is that Linux is a much more modern operating system in general. As for macOS, it just drops support for and breaks things from a few years ago without warning. And again, MacOS is more modern than Windows in general (cough cough bash 3.2).

9:47 I definitely wouldn't say the modern Notepad is carried over from 98, but rather from older NT versions. Win 95/98 Notepad could only open files up to 64k in size, while NT was only limited by memory. Plus, NT understood Unicode and Alternative Data Streams, while 9x never did.

While watching both videos my reaction for the most part was "who should anyone even care?"

But there are some things that make some sense if you realize who actually is Microsoft targeting with Windows.
Microsoft didn't care for consumers for decades now, what they care about are businesses! Why? Because they're paying a lot more that any consumer would. Some companies are still paying top dollar to keep Windows 7 alive!
Why there are icons from windows 1 or even that "offline web pages" folder still in windows 11? Because some "Obsolete Corp." could rely on a program that would literally crash if you remove it.

Fun fact: In Windows Server 2016 (and probably all other versions of Windows Server since then), if you dive deep enough into the Group Policy Editor, you can find an interface which is completely unchanged from Windows XP. It looks exactly like an XP control panel window.

amazing video! still cant believe that there are MS-DOS icons in Windows 11 lol

9:45 Technically, Notepad is old, but I honestly don't think it should be updated. Maybe some minor additions like adjusting tab size and maybe color schemes (not syntax highlighting), but the more stuff you add the more bloated it becomes. It's a "large sizeable editbox," it isn't and shouldn't be fancy.

I know having such old components on a modern OS doesn't make it better or secure, even worse... But those MS-DOS/3.1 icons gave me so much nostalgia.

8:11 the read-only feature is still useful for annoying applications that overwrite files with what they think should be there, read only forces that file to stay the same

Reminds me how Half Life: Alyx uses the Source 2 engine, which is the sequel to the Source engine, which is the sequel to the GoldSrc engine, which was a Quake engine modification. So, in theory, there might still be leftovers from the first Quake deep within Alyx’s files.

Also I remember in the first part it wasn't mentioned, but in the Media folder, Windows 7 sounds folders are still here (Garden, Heritage, etc.), even if the sounds themselves are gone since Windows 8.

One thing you missed is that in Windows Fax and Scan there's a custom cover sheet designer that has been untouched since Windows 95

Windows 11 still has dialer included... Like I believe it was introduced in Windows 98. Anyways, you can access it by pressing Windows Key + R to open run and by writing dialer in the dialogue box and pressing enter or clicking run... Notice how its colors are off and its fonts on the individual numbers which are not matching to the Windows 11s Segoe UI Variable...

An honorable other leftover from Windows 2000 is the "userpasswords2" CPL applet. It's the exact same window without any changes since 2000.

Notepad and Paint (mentioned in the last video) have actually already been updated to look a bit more modern; not sure why you don't have them.
They're also working on a visual refresh for the Task Manager.

What you didn't show was the power-off dialog box that appears if you press Alt+F4 while on the Desktop with no windows open.

Go to the Run box, and type iexpress. That program is straight out of Windows 2000 (ZERO changes!) and looked outdated even then (times new roman title, old fashioned buttons, broken cleartype, etc)

9:00 -- Not exactly. These screensavers were last updated in Windows Vista, then they removed a couple Vista-branded in Win7 and that's it. In 2017 they even officially discontinued them (lol) but it's still left in the system. I still have a screensaver on my computer, it's a modernized version of XP's space screensaver and it's really dope to see)

Also fun fact: on macOS screensavers are still supported and updated, likely purely for aesthetic purposes.

Very interesting how leftovers of all older Windows versions have made their way into Windows 10/11, even programs used in day-to-day use! Sadly, this makes the design and overall user experience of the operating system inconsistent.

8:46 love that kliksphilip reference

In the latest Insider Preview builds of Windows 11, there are a lot of things updated actually. I would say about 8 to 10 remnants were updated. As I'm running those builds, LogonUI was updated, there's are new volume/brightness sliders, new accessibility menu both in LogonUI and OOBE, new tray icon container, new customization options, more settings ported from the Control Panel to Settings, and much more.

While I can understand being annoyed of Windows 11 being sold (most of the time) as a brand new product, that has always been their philosophy and i'm not sure I want them to change it. With each OS built upon the older one, the transition has always been easy and we have to deal with less backwards compatibility issues. And that in itself isn't perfect (just look at videogames) but I still rather this than dealing with an all-new uncompatible OS each time. Slowly upgrading and changing things bit by bit it's something I'm okay with

Microsoft took "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." to the next level.

The dialog that comes up when you press alt+f4 on the desktop is also a remnant of windows 2000 / ME

2:34 that is the most quiet printer i've ever seen

I really hope your videos about Windows 11's inconsistency go viral. Maybe it's the only way that will actually push Microsoft to make a complete UI overhaul, even if it takes a year or two to do so.

resource monitor was updated with like vista or 7, there's still the older version of perfmon in mmc snapin, that one is as old as nt4, and many snap ins are, not 2k
also uac settings dialog was introduced with win7. alt+f4 on explorer is as old as NT newshell too. dont forget the 16 bits subsystem and fullscreen command prompt (if you have a driver that supports it) Dont forget activedesktop! about screensavers: their last update was windows 7! and they were introduced with vista. the previous set in xp was a mixture of xp and 2k, then there's the old nt and 9x ones we've known to love, also xp starter had two exclusive screensavers
Attributes is a DOS thing

There also is a very unknown program called Math Input Panel (Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\mip.exe). It uses the Windows 7 style and i have no idea what this is useful for. Also when you close the window the actual process doesn't stop, and again, i have no idea how to stop it "the intented way"

I think this is less Microsoft neglecting old features, but rather continuously supporting them on modern systems. I’m grateful for it, because it lets me use modern hardware and software with ancient accessories, useful in business applications. And windows is a business operating system.

I honestly hope they keep the remnants that are still visually correct (like the 98 ones, the nt one, ect, because that's just really cool and is basically just a callback to the older times.

.bat is also an MSDOS remnant.
Bat files are labeled as "MS-DOS batch file" in Windows XP.
.cmd (Windows NT command script) is supposed to be the newer replacement, but it's almost never used because bat still exists.

Windows 11 is pretty much just a bunch of code taped together in the hope it won't die on them, somehow by whatever miracle they managed to ship an operating system that didn't instantly completely break

6:45 Thank you for the nostalgia.
Wow, I thought at 12:45 the fox icon was a trick of you, but I looked in my W11 and it's really there

When you run Windows Media Player there is a theme that was made for windows xp and it's functional on win 10

windows has so many legacy things in it, it starts look like an interactive museum

The HTML Help program (Which happens to be accessible from the ODBC Data Source directory picker) has a copyright date from 2002, meaning it was last updated probably from Windows 2000/XP.

For me, when i was in Visual Studio, whenever it froze the window borders would change to the ones that were from Windows Vista Basic.

8:05 There are also two Properties windows - one when you right click a file on an NTFS drive, and one when you right click a file on a FAT drive (this uses Tahoma instead of MS Sans Serif)

People at Microsoft definitely follows this programming rule, "If it ain't broke, then dont fix it"

idk, i quite like it when i stumble across an old thing in windows, like the win xp login dialog, fills me with nostalgia

Don’t know was it mentioned here by someone or no, but UAC window here is actually from Windows 7, because in Vista there was only two options — off and on, while in Win7 and later it has 4.

I think the "Contacts" folder had something to do with Windows CardSpace. I vaguely remember playing with CardSpace on a Windows Vista desktop in the 2000s. I think it would store the cards in this folder. Kind of like a half-assed modern take on Cardfile?

One thing you missed is that in the C:\Windows\Media folder you can still find 3 midi files left over from 2000

To be honest those Win2000 designs are better than Win11 ones

11:45 funny fact, the first option is in Portuguese: “driver da Microsoft para arquivos texto” is “Microsoft driver for text files”. Seems like on just that second there are multiple Portuguese named drivers.

There's also another old Windows leftover and it's pretty easy to find. If you try to name a folder or a file with an illegal symbol (? / \ : " | < >) a message bubble from Windows XP appears.

Also I found a leftover of Windows XP on the Windows Media Player, you need to set it on Group Policy Editor. But I forgot to do that, it will make the Windows Media Player uses Windows XP's Media Player theme instead the Windows 7 theme.

Fun fact: Splatoon 2's netcode has an unused function to check if the game is running on Windows 98.

btw, if u turn on high contrast mode, the rounded corners will work perfectly, idk wats making rounded corners such a pain on the normal look

In fact, hovering over the X window system controls, the descriptions are yellowed since Windows 95. Also, I consider these properties boxes to kind of 'blend in' with the Windows 11 design, because the check marks and buttons have been updated. Even considering that, there are way more textures inherited from old versions of Windows than there should be

well,if you go by some of this video's logic,even the icons on the desktop might be considered a remnant,maybe the entire operating system in a way,but that does not mean that some things are straight up funny that they still look and operate the same way as lets say 20 years ago or even more. I always noticed old windows remnants myself in windows 11 and I'm glad someone made a video about it ! It was a very cool watch ! I don't really agree with some things you consider remnants,for example the disk cleanup,that's just a feature and it serves its purpose today as it did when it was introduced and aesthetic wise,it doesn't look dated or bloated or just overall not fitting with the current look of windows,it's just a neutral look,like other tools this video highlighted. But again,some things definitely need an overhaul and others should just be straight up removed since they are very obsolete

It isn't built into windows, but the visual studio winforms designer still uses the old windows 7 classic theme and it looks so outdated.

0:50 oh my god I remember messing with contacts in vista when I was a kid at around 2009 at least, I can’t believe the folder for it still exists in newer versions of windows. It is so old holy hell.

1:12 How good the part where you put a music of Geometry Dash

8:35
Using kliksphilip dad music, what a wise choise.
Take my like!

These relics are...just incredible. Thanks, MS.

There's actually another Windows 10 remnant. Open Control Panel then change it's path to the computer(or normal File Explorer) to make File Explorer go "This is Windows 10's File Explorer, what do you need to find?"

I hope they never update the ODBC directory picker. Is already an archaeological treasure.

This is a certified windows classic

This proves Microsoft is too lazy to work on a actual release starting fresh and clean, and being so lazy they keep apps untouched since they are a part of the system but they figured out "eh nobody's going to use that so well leave it there" and only care about "everyday" unnecessary UWP apps that they figure out it's the only thing they want to focus on, and other aspects is saying they optimized Windows but in reality, it's faster but with the extra shit code it just leaves the thing just as optimized as a previous OS. Microsoft should get up from its seats and showcase really something innovative and game-changing. Not that i hate these old untouched leftovers, but if you'd replace them with something new, and in my opinion, optimized, they would be just fine, but if not just remove it. Like these leftovers would be considered bloat since MS will continue adding stuff to W11, and with these apps unused, it would fill up space, and that's what im saying by truly optimizing Windows. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

2:50
Enderman: Yup, that's going on the fridge!

03:44 Well, I actually use "Character Map" daily for getting characters via the "Arial Unicode MS" font, because that font has literally everything in it. 😊
06:26 Well, sadly they broke one more feature of the desktop: animated gif images just show their first frame and not moving anymore ‒ gif images was playing correctly back in XP. 😞

That fox wallpaper looks cool!

Honestly, it's not bad that programs are old, if they're functioning, I mean, even if you had to work on it, except for removing the old compatibilities and refreshing the style, the base program doesn't change. The whole Linux is based on this concept too, take Vim, a text editor, like notepad, going strong since 1991, and there's still some madlads that recommend it to this day. Reinventing the wheel isn't wrong, but selling it as "Whiil™, new edition, the wheel so good you won't ever want to look at peasants wheel" is indeed wrong and deceitful.

4:27 I jumped from my seat, as if I've seen a ghost

Another leftover I can think of is the "Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app". It has been slightly changed over the years, "program" switched to "app" in Windows 8 and the "defender" being added in Windows 10 as well as the gradient and icon being changed in Windows 11. But overall, it's just a dialog from Vista.

I briefly saw a Windows XP animation when I was installing an INF the other day. Latest insider build, lol.

Truly one of the operating systems of all time.

I like the Charmap, i used it in some of these "RP maps" which have YOU decide your custom country on even a custom map, it was fun. I used charmap for my names when some of the letters weren't avaliable in my keyboard setting. Good old times...

Also enderman, there is one more thing in windows 11 from vista. The app icons… which are not set by the application have the ‘unknown’ vista icon with green color with aero.

Windows 10 still uses the Windows 7 Startup Recovery menu if your PC manages to crash itself enough times, I managed to make it reappear on accident when I was trying to diagnose whether or not my PC had a bad PSU or bad RAM. Eventually me and my dad figured out that my RAM sticks just managed to get loose somehow which was what was causing the random crashes.

I miss Windows 7, best OS that wasn't a Linux distro if you ask me

"If we forgot about it then it's not that important"
It:

2:11 locale file dialog shows a star for favourites that is from Windows XP

I wonder if there is a way to force windows to use the win vista style dwm without crashing the graphics drivers

but yet they haven't bothered to bring back Purble Place or 3D Pinball Space Cadet (ik you can download them or copy them from another computer running the older OS)

3:20 If this was a video about Windows 10, I'd expect a mention of the Windows Vista/7 startup sound, but this is Windows 11...
12:40 Oh, I look forward to that! Windows is a mess of random old assets, and words, if their random usage of "program" despite "app" becoming the new term for executables counts. "Program Files", "ProgramData", Properties > Compatibility mentioning programs multiple times, even NEW OPTIONS there that say that, and of course the Run dialog in this video.

Part of me wishes I could see something similar for Ubuntu or Debian. These Linux distributions have relatively long histories, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some minor splash from Ubuntu 4.10 left in Ubuntu 22.10 (and possibly 23.04 soon)

I'm just glad that Windows 11 still has grpconv.exe so if I ever need to directly upgrade from Windows 3.1 all my icons in Program Manager can be retained in the newer start menu so I can still easily access my 16-bit applications....... Wait a minute. No version of windows 11 can run 16 bit apps...... Wait a minute. The Windows Start Menu no longer has a compatible directory structure....

Yoo what gg on 250k subs I’ve been here since 40k!

13:22 You'd be right - on Legacy, it is still possible to use the Windows Vista boot screen in 11, though I'm pretty sure it's a slightly different boot argument than noguiboot.

honestly im not surprised that they would actually do this

This is a big reason why I switched to Linux. I think it's absurd how Windows still contains code from the previous century.

Windows 11: can I copy your guys homework?
Windows vista, xp and 2000: sure don’t make it too oblivous
Windows 11 homework:

Red Star OS has more consistency.

I like the older design language more because it feels like I’m not using a simplified version of a program for phones or tablets but just a program designed for PC only.

2:00 I'll kill Microsoft if they touch the MMC.. I love that tool currently, and I really hope that they don't try to force their modern UI into it.. (also, probably every sysadmin will kill them as well, if they dare to touch the MMC)

Fun Fact: last time I tried Word (word 2019 iirc) it still had tooltips screenshots from XP, on the home ribbon too.

Ah yes, comic sans subscribe screensaver xD!

And the most biggest remnant from Windows 95 is, The Desktop!, since 27 years, it was the same

Watching this on Debian 11.
Yeah windows has problems like this, when I used windows, this never really got on my nerves, in fact, I knew it was there, I just never cared.

When I moved to linux, it was so much more consistent. Going back to windows felt like battling a chimera from mother 3 or an amalgamate from undertale. Windows is a mess.

The sound panel and property windows are a perfect example of "If ain't broke, don't fix it"

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the next Win 11 update brought back some shit from Win 3.x down to Win 1 instead of patching out the old unnecessary stuff.

Disk Management also has that ancient dialog letting you change colors/patterns for displayed types of disks. I wonder who ever used that window?

you gotta stop using geometry dash music in these videos man I gotta mute it every time it hurts my ears

personally i like seeing stuff like this, i remember using a windows 10 in the past and seeing the stuff that remained unchanged from windows 7 felt pretty nostalgic, though it did also feel like i was just using a windows 7 with windows 10 painted over it lol

Command Prompt is a remain of MS-DOS that always gotten updated if you think about it

There's some Souvenirs from the Past (Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000/98/95).

Honestly drive letters are also an MS-DOS remnant...which itself is a CP/M remnant...which itself is a CP/CMS remnant...but those last 2 were technically just inspiration as they aren't MS operating systems.

I love MS-DOS icons more than whatever icons now

I maybe wrong but i think the alt+fr shutdown prompt is also a very old remenant. And hey man! Keep up the good work hope you got a good sleep after staying up that late.

On the screen savers thing, I actually copy and paste the old OpenGL screen savers from Windows 2000 into my Windows 10 machines so I can have the old and arguably better screen savers on my machines again.

the notepad significantly changed from Windows 10 to 11, new feature to select lines from the border, new find and replace prompts in new style and redesigned prompts

The 2 MS-DOS DLLs are actually Windows 3.1 because they show the iconic Windows 3.1 DOS logo. Remember when you minimized the MS-DOS app? Well the first image in the DLL is that icon.

Fun fact: if you take the .EXE for shutdown Out of windows 3.1, and execute it in ntvdm, it will shutdown.

9:35 they actually removed the old icon in win 7 they readded it in 10/11

i have smth interesting. i play minecraft, right? and when i upgraded to windows 11 on my laptop, the game would jsut randomly freeze (only graphically, when i was playing on servers and i pressed the wasd keys people could still see me moving). then, when i tried to take the game out of full screen, the UI from an older (idk which windows) showed up, very XP looking, because i used 7 and vista and it was not them. idk why but i think the UI underlying code is still in there

New branch was created on the OS repository in Microsoft's Azure DevOps "remove_legacy_features" after this video

shell32.dll still contents an windows 7(or vista, idk), windows xp and windows 9x icons :3 imageres.dll contents some windows 10 icons and windows 7 yet(or vista again, idk) :3

There is a feature that close window when you doubleclick top left corner of any window. I heard it is remanent of first version of Windows.

8:06 SD Cards also have a physical lock.
8:16 I have a Window XP screen saver on my Window 11 computer.

2:40
Ah yes, the good old laserjet 1010

I feel like Windows Vista is a major foundation for modern windows versions today. It introduced the similar Windows Setup style that is still used today, to user accounts/UAC, control panel layout, foundation of the file explorer style we have today, windows update built directly into windows, transparency effects, etc. Without it, Windows would be very different today.

Unable to set folder/file name to CON... Even winNT isn't based on ms-dos....

icon dlls are legit windows nfts

Last FULLY redesigned Windows is MS-DOS?
How "busy" Microsoft is?

I love this kinda thing! Really harkens back to the history of one of the most complex pieces of software used all the time. Most of the outdated UI is hiding in parts of the OS that are either supported for backwards compatibility, or things intended only for use by system admins or power users. Frankly, we're lucky to have user friendly UI for those at all, let alone up to date UI. Fax is still used by many businesses, but I can totally forgive MS for not going out of their way to update it past Vista. And the 3.x era bits are just wholesome, I hope they never go.

Notepad's been updated in windows 11 and supports dark theme too

In Word 2016 (don't know about later versions), if you hover on something, I don't really remember what exactly but it's on the top, it would show an image from Windows XP.

0:15 death corridor music goes hard

Notepad was updated 2 months ago to be a UWP application.

What also is funny is the dialer.exe program which is also unchanged since the Windows 9x days und still works, if you got an old telephone connected to windows. :D

Another left over: Windows startup sound. If you activate it in the sounds menu, it plays the Windows 7 sound, so it is a leftover.

i really like the intro sound

Great vid! I would love to see a part 3 someday.

The most noticeable remnants and oldest are the caption buttons tooltips (like close, minimize, maximize) still has yellow background since 1995

And for the rare case is "update personalized settings" window, the window appear when you updating windows feature update or ms edge with black entire background and it existed since windows 95

But that's remnants existed for win 10, idk windows 11 that remnants still existed or not

I love all you videos keep up the good work!

if you hold down alt and enter in cmd (don't use Legacy mode), it should flash between full screen and windowed. During that period, you should see a Windows Basic themed window of that. If you set a program's compatability to Windows XP, that app will run in Windows Basic too.

Technically the Run dialog is a leftover, but it is the most beloved thing to me, especially when I switched to Linux because couldn't stand non-compact view in Explorer (in Windows 10 Insider, by the way). That's how I launch Chrome all the time on school PCs

1:34 That's been there since Windows 2000 (or XP, I forget), just the visual styles changed it

I think there was a folder texture from Windows 3.X that was kept until some version of Windows (I think 10). I think only the folders that started with HKEY had this texture. I'm not sure. I know barely anything special about Windows, but these videos are somehow fun to watch.

Way to enable Windows vista fallback boot screen: type bcdedit -set {default} graphicsmodedisabled yes in cmd, and than restart

The last OS microsoft completely made was windows 1.0
everything from then (except xp) is just the remake of the last version.

The reason theres so many remnants of older versions of Windows in current versions is due to Microsoft ongoing promise of backwards compatibility. Instead of simply replacing an object in the OS with an updated version, an updated version is added and key files in the Windows folder are simply updated to deal with the new variant. In the minor case where someone still wants to/has to deal with older deprecated software, having this system in place allows for this to occur with (in theory) less fuss and applications dont just break. Not always the case and problems still occur. I mean its Windows for crying out loud.

6:36 classic enderman moment

"It will do for now"
20 years later...

Bro I heard Code Red and instantly thought of an impossible GD level

Ah, I see Security Alert every time I boot up FSX. Microsoft also neglects FSX in favor of FS2020.

8:32 wow love the choice of tune

The winver application lost its icon in windows 8.

I love that you use gd music in your videos :)

well for properties window borrowed from Dave, the one who wrote WindowsNT task manager and still used until windows 7 said
"If it wasnt broke dont fix it, if it works dont change it", though that window was the most effortless moderinisation considering we already have explorer dark mode since win10 1709 if i recalls correctly

0:13 That’s real music!

bro I swear to god one time I installed some drivers for my new headset made by Romanians and they had the Windows 3.1 setup wizard looking thing with the background and everything 💀
for those wondering, the headset was made in like 2021 or something and they were gaming headphones.

3:08 i like how it synced

10:34 For microsoft, Interenet means Ms Edge

if you run powershell and type Add-Computer the window will show from xp

Ohh yeah "the Synchobonk" one of my favorites from my one of favorites youtuber's dad :) So nostalgic....

2:36 I had the exact same printer model!

Microsoft installed multiple windows in a single frame on your house. Now i get it.

that was a good old video featuring some good old windows versions with good old music

Just a quick note, Notepad was actually updated in Windows 11. It's now a UWP app. And somehow it's still as reliable as it was before.

You missed a secret in office: every version since Xp came out had an xp preview when you hover over applet buttons

Microsoft, remove the Control Panel if you have Settings.

Notepad actually have been updated since Win9x. Win2000 added proper Unicode support, and sometime during the Win10 era they also added support for Unix-style line endings.

Sometimes when I enter a program in full screen (alt + enter, f11 won't do this) I see a glimpse of windows 7 basic theme.

You forgot doctor watson from 9X

Its still in the system32 now days
(also write.exe in the windows dir which uses the old icon)

dial-up app is my favourite

it's Okay "Enderman" IStill Love These Old Feature From Previous Wibdows OS 9x, Vista And 7!!

3:54 i remember charactwr map from windows 7 or xp

8:36 i dont think anyone noticed but, the music hes using here is made by 3kliksphilip's dad and this music is also featured in philip's CS:GO Music kit, his dad really makes good 80's and 90's styled songs and i love it. you should use them more often they are amazing. personally i love atomic amnesia but thats made by philip himself. i also love Crossing those islands which is made by both 3kliksphilip's dad and himself.

Another remnant is that you can still get the Vista progress bar bootscreen (which is just an XP boot screen but only Microsoft copyright). You just need to set graphicsmodedisabled on BCD or bootup Windows on legacy BIOS (or CSM) with a monitor that has a resolution that is lower than 1024x768. The bootscreen will show itself in 640x480. So maybe try it with an old monitor, or an old netbook if you have one lying around since the screens on those were usually 1024x600.

Meanwhile in the Windows Subway:

"3.1, you've been called up."
"Oh my god, I haven't been called up for decades!"
"..."
"That is all I have been called for? Just a measly prompt window? That sucks, I'm outta here!"

Screensavers are one of the things that are forced to NOT DELETE because it's a part of Microsoft, no os since 2000 will not have a screensaver.

I saw the remnants of Windows XP straight from the Task Scheduler before, and this involved the privilege dialog to run the task!

another one in microsoft edge is if you enter a "unsafe" website in IE mode,such as if ur on a school desktop and do that,the lock on the warning is an old remenant from something,idk version and os,but itsrare to see

that transition to the intro was slick!

Fun fact my whole family (me included) still uses windows fax and scan. It’s a good and easy to use program!

Fun fact - Dr.Phonics - Code Red is a impossible or possible GD (Geometry Dash) level.

I found one - when installation fails on windeploy stage - there is still the Aero style lol

heyy the kliksphillip song was a nice surprise! <3

They take "backwards compatibility" into a whole new level

I was downloading an FTDI driver for my ESP32 and the install drivers window actually still looked like Windows XP in Windows 11 in 2024

this guy would be the best computer class teacher ever.

Windows 11: New "deisgn"

Fun fact: there is Dr.Watson in Windows XP straight from Windows 3.0

1:43 UAC isn't a leftover, it's a feature.

Listening to the music set you have added i remember all ur 3 yr old vids 😀

Enderman is exposing Microsoft

imagine if there is win1 leftovers
that's gonna be halarious

Ive goten the vista fallback startup to happen many times like for example if you have ventoy on a usb then put windows 11 install disk image in the usb not through flashing but just copying the iso then when you boot off of it do ctrl w to enter winboot mode then pick the file and done

imagine how small the windows 11 iso could be if all this old garbage was cleared up, we could have windows 11 DVDs again

I remember talking with my dad about this video where you exposed Microsoft and he said that Notepad is techinacally a remain from Windows 3.1 but that it was just slightly polished up in Windows 98

naww they're not being lazy, they're just intentionally putting nostalgic features

the computer virus iceberg i need it

Wow, windows is very backwards compatible. That is why macromedia flash 5 still works as of windows 11

"Let's continue with the Lithuanian chicken."










I am severely offended.

You forgot to mention that the default cursor itself is a remnant from Vista

They did uodate microsoft paint and noteoad notepad has a dark backgroubd now and paint new icons it still sucks though

I think control userpasswords2 is directly from Windows 2000.

there's one really old thing still exist, if you click twice on the icon in windows header, window will close

Suggestion: Do a cool experiment,Try To install VMware tools before setting up windows,When installing windows,When that crappy OOBE starts up,Click on vm and click on install VMware tools and do shift + f10 to open cmd,On cmd,Type in D: and Press enter,Then type setup.exe and press enter

As a broadcast technican on a radio station, i'm happy that the old sound panel still exist, because it's easier to handle instead the modern trash UI.

fun fact I have that EXACT same printer

Did you know that windows 11 still has the aero theme but it won’t let you use it

i used to watch u back in my prime tech

They took "if it's work, dont touch it" seriously

Notepad has been updated since this video, now it even has tabs, a seperate settings window, a new icon, and is overall more modernized.

What about the Alt+F4 shutdown dialogue?

3:46 if it aint broke dont fix it

i found a cool one, press alt when you're on the explorer window, the "help" menu is windows 7 styled

I got a old inf screen while I was installing a fusion io drive. Thought it was interesting at the time.

Well some of the inconsistencies also exist in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 so that isn't really a thing to complain about

Congrats on the 250k 🎉🎉👏👏

It's ironic nitpicking windows' outdated stuff with a youtube video that plays loud royalty free techno over text.

I was expecting the 3.x remnant to be the fact that you can close windows by double clicking the top left corner of them

The task scheduler is giving me ptsd from trying to do anything in that piece of shit. What a layout

When you drag and drop explorer.exe into 7-Zip, extract into a folders, go to .rsrc > ICON, you will find Windows 95 to Vista icons (only some of them, some of them are still Windows 10 icon ) (I am using Windows 10 so I don't know much)

If you close everything so you are at the desktop screen, click on the desktop area without icons to be sure, press ALT+F4 and you get the classic Vista era shutdown selection dialogue with drop-down menu.

if you force windows to install standard vga drivers and you have an x86 system, you can run MS-DOS games. no kidding even with the kernel change in windows 2000/xp it is possible. tried that once in windows 7

Phone dialer is also still in windows 11 and I think it was introduced in win3.1 correct me if I’m wrong

Does windows 2022 really suck?

What about IE? Or did they finally remove that in W11? Also I think disk cleaner was already in 95 even, and disk defrag likewise.

Windows 11 is Windows 10, which is Windows 8.1, which is Windows 8, which is Windows 7, which is Windows Vista, which is Windows XP, which is Windows 2000, which is Windows 98, which is Windows 95

If you put icons as an ms dos remnants then you should put in all the windows 7 Xp and I think 3.1 icons into the video

pifmgr.dll and moricons.dll. Damn that takes me back.

You can use the old trick still. Replace setch.exe with starttaskmgr.exe

Great video enderman! 👍

uhhh there is no card OR link in the description for the previous video?

00:33 I LOVE YOU DUDE XDDDDDDDDDD

I could describe Windows as a huge russian doll, with too many layers from different decades.

Thank God that you can install modern Windows on old computers. Theoretically you can install windows 10/11 on XP era computers even that are slowly as a snail. Is recommended to use windows 7 computers or with DDR3 memory, with few upgrades. You can renovate your device and use it for a couple of years more.

such a good video enderman!

what music do you use for the intro? @Enderman

Thanks for the video!
I like though some of those stuff, like icons. For some guys it could be like nostalgic or even cool these days ;P

Speaking about that Internet Properties dialog you showed off, if you were to click the question mark button, you would get IE to open in Windows 11.

Windows is like an onion, it has layers.

2:10 Bro we've got windows 10 file explorer logo and the oldest favorites icon ive ever seen

In Windows 10, Opening the "Offline Web pages" folder, the Windows 98 Bar remains... I don't know why.

I think you forgot one, I guess? If you make an error script with VBS, using any error type (error, info, warning), they still use Windows 7's icon. I have just explored this, so I don't know really anything about it.

Honestly embarrassing for a multi-billion dollar company like Microsoft. Can't believe they have remains of Windows OSes and even DOS.

Seems like if you install Windows 11, you get all of them!

I still use a screensaver for the times when im gaming on my OLED tv to keep it from burning out the pixels

I showed my mom how to use windows fax just because windows printing function is buggy as hell and the drivers came with expired verry bad software

love the 3kliksphillip music, always adds so much to a video like this

You can actually invoke the old xp style cred prompt from PowerShell by running Get-Credential.

8:08 i always wondered wtf that was

its sohilarios that microsoft can develop top-tier spyware but they cannot clean up their os

My PC has a Windows XP remnant: Office 2007! It’s tooltips are Windows XP styled!

Fun fact: For the screensavers, the process is absolutely abominable:
In Vista, they changed the selection as usual.
In 7, they removed some and left it at that.
Further, they neglected the entire thing, only removing the beautiful transparency in Bubbles!

Hi enderman pls test windows security against malware

It’s good that those tools are still there, especially the predefined MMC consoles and mmc.exe itself, because all the fancy and modern interfaces simply do not allow admins to properly configure, maintain, and troubleshoot the system.

You know how they say, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"

honestly I'm surprised regedit wasn't mentioned as either 95 or 3.1.

Thanks for the video!

with all these comments pointing out more stuff, this might even turn into series

if you do want to really get that windows xp credentials dialog, you can spawn one using the win32 api

the file prompt at 2:10 is from windows xp

0:35 i like this reference.. chicken in lithuanian is višta if you don't include the little arrow but i think vista is also chicken in latvian

What is the name of the last song?

Damn! Never knew this. Windows 11 is really garbage now that I think about it. Just thinking about why I even upgraded

We have the same printer!

So Microsoft just was bits and pieces of Windows glued together nowadays

4:52 Just a correction. It's task scheduler

notepad now has updated
literally only dark mode
and tabs

ik this is crazy but there's an app called "file explorer" and it's a windows application that's been there since windows 95!!!! microsoft has run out of original ideas!!!!!!!😡😡

"Lithuanian chicken" 😆

I remember when I had Windows Vista I randomly found the Contacts folder and I was confused lol.

NEWGROUNDS SONG NEWGROUNDS SONG, also geometry dash song for death corridor

The command prompt is another remnant that is still left unchanged. The conhost.exe ui was changed but cmd.exe remained pretty much the same. (Try launching the windows XP cmd.exe on Windows 11 and it still works)

Windows Vista's Powershell Script Editor.

yep screensavers are even in Windows 10 looking the same way

As a GD player, the first background song you played gave me… flashbacks?

Microsoft is a certified hoarder

You can find the website with "download tomorrow" button?
(i have problem with using "a" & "the" in english)

7:51 prop is there since 95 even

okay the first song confirms that you're using common geometry dash songs

windows 11 is just highly modded windows 3.1 NT

Welp, notepad.exe got remaked in windows 11 and they added a lot of cool missing features

0:38 What do you mean?

You should try and get the windows 11 to look and possibly function like any other previous windows version

Thats amazing i put a bfb reference on the top chat

ok now know your intro sound name but please give me the download link so it is,(Landscaping-Windows96) V1
at 1:36 am i right?

Found this video on my non-signed in PC.

Microsoft in 2050: can we fix it? No, it's f*cked

7:50 they didnt even bother to make the properties menu in the new "files" app

That was quite interesting. I had known some of these ancient things still existed, but not that many! Why Microsoft, why?

M$ can just spend more time and money to make Windows 11 (somewhat) more consistent in design while maintaining the backwards compatibility instead of making it looks good on the front (UWP apps, MS Edge, the "new" taskbar (it's just an overlay, the Win10 taskbar is still inside, you can make it to show by changing the registries)) and still keeping the design clash in the inside (Win10 styled UWP apps, Metro style from Win8, Win32 programs....)

I download the process hacker and its perfect! Oh and i really like this intro.

3:54 but andrew why God with small g

Old secrets, old songs, I love it

4:58 This is a direct C R E D UIPromptForCredentials API call.

I guess there is the secret to making a blazingly fast application (like Notepad) - just make it for Windows 9x and port over

It is decided! I'm switching to a Mac! Thanks, Enderman!

The properties window has changed a little (i think). If i was correct,in Win 7 i was able to tick a box which made the app i viewed the properties of,automatically run in administrator. I don't see that feature anymore in windows 10. Is it back on 11?

Hello Enderman, I have some questions about your website, so I used sometimes and in February, the website had shutdown because of the things happening in Russia but now the website is back, so I went to check the Adobe programs but there was only 3 programs, the After Effects 2022, Premiere Pro 2022 and Photoshop 2022. what happened to the others? Like the Photoshop 2020/2021 or After Effects 2020/2021? I use Windows 7 so it's a bit difficult to find Adobe products that works with (If my english is bad, it's because i only know a bit of, i'm from Brazil), also, great video!

You forget the remaning of Vista when you drag and drop a file for the explorer with the old Aero square. (I just check is now a grey ugly square).
And the XP mouse cursor when you insert a disk, and more (actually some has been fix with w11)

How do you get the windows 10 style taskbar in the windows 11?

basically windows corpses pretty much

I’m not sure if this one counts but the command prompt executable name (cmd.exe) goes back to OS/2 1.0 (1987) since windows NT is based on OS/2

Microsoft: if it works fine why bother?

character map........ thats from 3.x

lol enderman named vista as lithuanian chicken, incase y'all are wondering, vista ( lithuanian : višta ) is chicken in english.

DWWIN.EXE in System32 is Dr. Watson which was a debugger introduced during Windows 2000 which still exists today but I don't think it runs anymore. DXDIAG.EXE also still exists and that was introduced around 98/NT 4.0 I believe but it hasn't been changed much since.

We need the old sound control panel in our radio station because the new win11 settings are very shitty

I would get pretty mad if they changed the MMC and even more mad if they removed the old sound control panel. The MMC is just good classic GUI design that does what it should and they old audio panel is sometimes the only way to fix some audio device selection chaos.

Microsoft just needs to can windows vista's codebase and start over, of course not exactly like vista, but Microsoft needs to change something radical, down to the base.
the installer hasn't changed at all since windows 8 and most of the installer is still vista's age. there's no reason why they can't run a live boot environment like Linux or MacOS, and there's no reason why windows 11 is just glorified windows 10, which is glorified windows 8, etc.
windows has gotten too big with features literally nobody cares about, or could be disabled by default and downloaded on request.
actually, if Microsoft is going to a internet-only world, why not make the ISO as light as humanly possible to get the bare windows up and then download the rest. you can't even put Win11 on a DVD anymore unless it's a dual-layer disc.
Microsoft needs to seek out the windows modders and put them on the Microsoft team, and just allow them to hack and chop windows with little counseling.
or how about this?, allow their users to create custom themes that just work and require no hacks, imagine going to the Microsoft store downloading a theme(or appx) that completely changes how windows looks and Microsoft wanted that.

That song from dead corridor⚡️⚡️

Hi can i ask ,did you have discord server?

Microsoft logic: ok, we tried hard enough making the old OSes, let's add the price and change 1-3 application per version? Everyone is silent
Bruh that ba..
EITHER YOU AGREE OR REJECT THE WORK
Bruh that good
So, we need to make a new wasp, let's take 10 and change a few things. no one will notice I guess?

Ok seriously Microsoft. Windows is bloated already, and the completely unused 20 year old icons aren`t exactly helping. Like I`m not talking about applications, even old dialogue's and icon`s can be forgiven, but making a uniform gui is a must. It`s not even that hard. There are like, at least two solutions that I can come up with right now, that would allow you to make a uniform gui across your whole system.

I'm curious if MacOS has shit like this. Like leftovers from old versions of OSX, Mac OS 9.x, NeXT OS, etc

Even better. When you add an FTP folder in Windows Explorer in This PC, right click into its contents and press "Login as", You will notices windows 98 icons and a ugly user interface.

internet explorer is a folder from 1994
still exists in 2024
30 years!

why is *.pif listed tho, while *.lnk isn't?

4:23 I found it by installing a Mouse pointer. I thought I was some kind of skin I has installed

I wonder if you can find Windows 3.x, 2.x, 1.x or MS-DOS remnants?

Isnt notepad from Windows 1?
And what about the 'tada.wav' sound from Windows 3 ?

Did you know that if you extract the resources of the themes in c:\windows\resources\themes (Including "Aero") you can find some Windows XP things, like the icon backgrounds that show if you were to go into the c: drive for the first time.

13:09 im getting a vista loading screen on my windows 7 system (with the proper graphics driver), it appeared since i used the sfc /scannow prompt

the registry editor is another program from windows 95 i think

Hey Enderman. I put password in laptop bios but forgot password. do you know bios password reset?

"Lithuanian chicken" i respect that whilst living in Lithuania

isnt there also the 98 tab switcher (when you end explorer.exe)?

G502, a man of culture indeed

Im telling you this, all of the songs are gonna be just Geometry Dash Extreme demon songs from this point on.

Honestly why in the world are task scheduler and task manager not one app?

I'm not sure about windows 11, although knowing microsoft that wouldn't surprise me, but on windows 10, when your display can't be set at a resolution 1024x768 or higher, you'll get Windows Vista style boot screen

If you turn on Enable Startup Sound, you can get the win 7 startup sound.

Can't remember if it was in either of the videos but I have a question when was the system info app from

if you need to put a character into your text you can press win+v and access characters just clicking on characters icon. Windows 11 only! λ

the bug at 6:42 also happens in windows explorer

pretty sure the Phone Dialer is still there

Another windows 2000 remnant is the 10k bug.

no GUI boot? maybe that's from Windows NT 4.0, 3.51 and before
never tried NT 3.5 and 3.1 myselfso i dunno
try enabling "VerboseObjectLoadMode" in your Windows Load of Boot Manager

one leftover from windows 2000 is the year 10k bug.

HOW COULD YOU FORGOT THE DIALER? Thats The Oldest Thing I Know In Windows!

Do not forget the windows installer same as windows 10

6:40 I can't reproduce this bug, he juste glitch on the drag and drop icon preview, and move it anyways entirely.

There's 16 bit apps in some system folders

Nice tutorial.... Very helpful

There's one more, windows 2000, I saw it while i was booting up pvz (plants vs zombies)

You should've printed Subscribe on that paper, it'll be a more unique way to do it!

What is the password for in the discripion?

You can find the website with "download tomorrow" button?
(i have problem with using "a" & "the" in english)

UAC is actually good Imao

windows 11 is just windows 10 but for the 2nd time this century

Windows Frankenstein Edition.

What is the music used in the intro?
I like it!

Why is this a BIG deal for Windows 11, but not earlier versions?

Are you a gd player Enderman because a part of your video contains gd level song, in this video the first song = DR. Phonics Code Red of the level Death Corridor

The manual driver installation applet! Though they just SLIGHTLY updated it in Windows 11. In Windows 10 it still tried to select the drive A: by default and displayed an icon with a floppy disk. In Windows 11 they updated it so that it selects the drive D: by default and the icon has a CD instead of a floppy disk. Quite in time concerning how much used are optical drives nowadays...
I mean this one (sorry for the non-English language version): https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/7959092900_1655845724.png

Doesn't the classic "theme" that appears very rarely still exist or was that entirely replaced by Aero Basic?

Fun fact: you can still get the Windows 98 computer icon in explorer.exe

If you press on the initial Windows Setup OEM Startup : Control + Shift + F3 the pc will reboot and open a pre work enviorment. A OEM Company that I work with has told me that secret hack :D @Endeman

Greetings from Lithuania!

Ah yes, Windows Višta. Good one! :D

bro's really play "concret da suspect"

The sta(lema)te of windows (Pt2)

0:32 Sounds more like Latvian, because on lithuanian it will be "vištiena", but on latvian "vista"

i'aw move to windows 11 or stand on windows 10?

still here xD

@Enderman just another one: iexpress ;)

Notepad is pretty funny, because it's a barely changed leftover from Windows 1.x

Have your forgot MRT? the "antivirus" from MS that's been around since XP, looks the same today but is still updated to this day. Although the Defender has actually been around for years and you could combine it... but it's probably too logical. I guess.

The icons are actially NT 3.1 remnants.

LOL DEATH CORRIDOR SONG (gEOMETRY dASH?)

steventhedreamer, good taste

Notepad and paint were updated, you're using outdated versions :p

One that was missed is the volume mixer

Strange to think that a hundred dollar OS is so outdated and parts just dont work/fit in. Seems like open source OSses like Ubuntu and Fedora are finally catching up!

Wait... Didn't Microsoft update notepad's design recently?

I also realised that I have the same printer as enderman

Thanks for daily! :)

lithuanian chicken?? I thought of the "russian nesting doll"!!!

I think there even is a Windows 1.0 leftover inside TwinUI.dll

I don't think we can call it a new version of Windows. I think it should be called "Windows 10+"

Just look at the math input panel

gd death corridor music aproved

I have 3d pipes as my screensaver

They updated Notepad and Paint in Windows 11 22H2 builds

I do that bug from 6:42 in Windows 7. It works.

Did you know newer versions of Win11 have UWP Notepad?

The music is a bit much...and the video is hard to follow along with when nobody’s explaining anything.

I copied all the screensavers from a Windows 98 machine to my Windows 10 pc in C:\windows\system32 folder. And every screensvaer from WIndows 98 works, for example the Windows labyrinth or the Flying Windows and much more. And yeah, try press the Winkey+R and the runbox appears, or if u are at the desktop and press alt+f4 the old classic shutdown box appears. :-)

windows 9x remnant: ctrl+esc feature

if u right click the title bar it shows a windows from 3.x

i honestly thought that printer was a toaster

Vista fallback will trigger if the maximum screen resolution is too low (below 1024x768)

Why Lithuanian Chicken :D... btw I'm from Lithuania. Nice video.

9:50 Notepad has been updated on W11, dunno why you still have the old one ?

ok i managed to remove your malware called "no escape" only by launching the program pulling the plug like 2 seconds after it says restarting it created all of the users desktop was full of junk but i could still login with my own password then i just manually removed all the users and desktop things (was done on actual hardware accidentally)

You forgot Speech Recongition :)

You forgot to mention dialer.exe. It hasn't gone through a single change since Windows 3.1

The notepad app is updated now tho

this is the reason why I switched to Mac.

Wait hang on Notepad is a remnant of Windows 98? Notepad has been in Windows since bloody 1.0! Wordpad is essentially just Windows 1/3 Write but with a new name and new design. Its essentially part of the DNA of Windows. You could argue Run is a remnant of Windows 3 and 95 as well. To be honest I dont think Microsoft will bother with most of these programs although I might be wrong.

frickin epic dubstep

what about the math input panel

I have had a good laugh with these videos.

like this 4.6k out of 10k also.

Sometimes when my pc uses a lot of cpu and I close a Programm, the bar gets the windows 7 style

no escape in windows 11?

1:11 linux remnant xD

THE FIRST SONG IS A GEOMETRY DASH SONG

windows 11 as so many remnants from older versions that it couldve been better if they just kept updating windows xp or 7

winver lost its icon in 8, not 10

part 2 in less than 3 dayzz

Whats the song name after intro music

Hey endermanch I’m getting a laptop with Windows 11, what settings should I change.

Vista is chicken in Latvian not Lithuanian

Like a wise man said:

If it works… don’t touch it!…

i have laserjet 1020 too

Oh, and by the way, thank you for putting my favorite song "Synchobonk". It was my favorite before. The reason why I hated Microsoft is because of the remnants straight from Windows 98 all the way to Windows 10, in Windows 11!!! I can't believe we actually got used to it long ago! Curse Microsoft For This!!! And they didn't start with a clean slate and design it into a fully working modern system. Heck yeah, Fedora and all other Linux distros and some others including HaikuOS, KolibriOS and MenuetOS are about 5 to 25 times better than Windows 11! Maybe you had tried Linux before.

nice of the video

"definitely use once a week" bold of u to assume that. Cuz i don't.

You forgot the shutdown screen when you press alt f4 on the desktop

Enderman can you tell us how do you record the bios for actual pcs

I think you forgot the Alt + F4 menu.

here in the stream!

Cool

What about that good ol' BSOD?
That has to be ancient!

FUN FACT: UNINSTALLING MSPAINT AND INSTALLING IT AGAIN WILL GIVE YOU A UWP VERSION OF THE MSPAINT APP

Enderman, tall black guy.
Habdulla, short white guy.

PICK YOUR FIGHTER

death corridor song

the notepad is a windows 3.0 remnant

Esto está bien, si funciona, no lo arregles.
Lo lamentable es que no se dignaron a hacer un tema oscuro completo, con lo cual no se pierde compatibilidad ni funcionalidad, en el minuto 4:52 es evidente.

Character Map is from Windows 3 lol

Daily uploads!

Can you please enable Dark Mode in Notepad?

and, the windows setup is a windows 8 remnant

If it ain't broken, don't change it. Except it is

Notepad changed, bc it supports dark mode and settings menu was changed in win 11

Do this but from Windows on ARM64

I still can't believe Microsoft hasn't changed the settings of everything completely like the control panel remains the same and a bug that if you put dark mode it won't change the control panel to dark and I hate it why does Microsoft have to act so dumb

honestly im not even sure i want them to change these. a lot of updated things like settings over control panel are inferior.
except for the shit that can actually be improved on. like the task scheduler password dialog. and maybe some of the styling. but thats it. leave the core ux alone.

Windows 11's notepad is updated.

Notepad HAS been updated with new controls though? Maybe this was filmed not so recently

year later and nothing has changed 😂

Hey
Your channel is named Enderman and you haven't play minecraft?

excuse me, but i think the "Run" feature is actually from Windows 95

I think Andrew is the YouTuber that has the biggest song library (music channels like @NoCopyrightSounds do not counts)

maybe they'll add a secret way to delete edge

Can You Make A Video on "How to Speed Your Pc Like Mine"

I love the new upload schedule

Also 666 likes

what is your intro music

I think this takes a lot of the visual quality of windows, particularly it bothers me a lot

can you please pass me that fox wallpaper? it looks awesome

.ch...i live(d) in that country!

What operating system do you use as your main?

is you profile a minecraft enderman

meanwhile the gd players:









hmm deth corrdor

2:35 i have the same printer

Very interesting.

Windows 11 is just like windows vista hence has leftovers of his elder brother.

So, i liked the video but didn't like your comment. Most of the stuff you mentioned is used by IT, not your average home windows user, consistency in those elements is pretty good for workflow, becouse instead of learning how to use new OS those people can just go and use it, becouse it's the same thing that was ~20 years ago, and this stuff from '90? probably it would be easier to just create new system from scratch than try to delete it and ducktape system to "work as intended", it's easier and cheaper to just leave it

notepad is actually from windows 1.0

Wordpad and Notepad are the worst windows tools to exist. They lack so much usability vs e.g. KDE's Kate or even GEdit

This series explains why Windows is so bloated and why I believe the current Windows project is too far gone to save. Microsoft needs to start from a fresh codebase or see their OS fall to mac and linux as more and more people make the switch

didnt know you had geometry dash

wasn't expecting steventhedreamer, almost thought i clicked on a 3kliksphilip video by accident

Download windows 10 media creation tool
Open it

just a reskinned of vista?

10:37 is this internet explorer?

bro use Heading For The Sources music

I still use windows mobility center from windows vista everyday 🤣

Nice video

UAC Has Been Updated In 10

Oh, using kliksphillip's music yeah? I see >:3

HMMM LOOKS LIKE WINDOWS XP PRODUCT KEY BACKROUND LAYOUT 5:07

3:06 write.exe? not wordpad anymore?

What did Ender an mean by "Lithuanian chicken" when he brought up Vista? I'm a Lithuanian and I am so confused lmao 😂

chrome: it's too late
ie:
chrome:🔫

LOL if you type \r\ into search windows 10 logo appears

Step one → Win+R
Step two → dialer

Windows 9x Layers of useless jank edition

Even more geometry dash music

12:45 wtf
is that xorg? in the second row

How yk are we to the name and what you are yelling about at a certain

You forgot dialer

nice video

I have same printer 😩👌

It's not all bad, but the best thing they could do it rebuild Windows entirely from the ground up. I guess the boomers and old powerusers would be upset but honestly managing a Windows server bulk with virtualization, active directory and so on is just pain at this point. You need to search years until you find the correct setting or wrote the right script for task scheduler, pain in a huge company environment and even more useless and confusing for the home user.

Welp time to turn my windows 11 into vista.

Is the lithuanian chicken thing supposed to be offensive mate?

As a linux user:





Windows is bloat

Music :D

Microsoft? No.
Moneysoft? Yes.

funny thing, MY COMPUTER CAME WITH WINDOWS 11

0:22 The what (ok I Need to stop

Notepad is even older its from the very first Windows as if you run Windows 1.0 files on Windows 10 notepad will work and exactly the same as now

im from lithuania
and you call windows vista Lithuaian chicken

Can you make video about a funny bootleg?

Run: (mrt)?

When's it starting

Music is so so so bad I had to put on my own :v

Another argument why shouldn't I waste time getting a new PC just to run Windows 11.
Nice fox, by the way.

you are swiss?

I feel backwards compatibility is a moot point from microsoft at this point. Windows 11 can only run on processors from the last few years with the latest and greatest technology. What's the point of keeping stuff like dialer.exe and remnants from the 16 bit era alive in an OS that cannot be technically run on hardware that could theoretically use that stuff? What's the point in supporting Win 3.1 era drivers in 2022? What's the point of keeping screensavers around when you have to jump through hoops noone is going to take to use them? Why keeping mobile pc center around when it was a duplicate feature the day it got introduced anyways? Sync? In 2022? So many questions...

as a lithuanian i made fun of vista

3kliksphillips music....

Hello!!!

Give me ur discord sever link plz

2:05 adb? apple desktop bus?

If it works, dont fix it

microsoft, pls fix

Use windows 7 ultimate or smth tbh

Good video 😄👍🏻

GD Vibes

I'm the only one lithuanian who watches his videos?

4:05 Nope, the dialog itself is from 9x. Only the checkmark/warning icons were updated, and only because those are from the default iconset.

9:52 Notepad actually received Unix-style line ending support in Windows 10, so imo it doesn't count.

Yeah, half of these wouldn't look so out of place if Microsoft updated comctl32 instead of continuously creating new window systems and reinventing the wheel...

For anyone (including me) who was confused about Windows 9x I'm pretty sure he was talking about 95, 98, 98 SE, and ME.

You best

XP isn't actually as consistent as people think, since it lended many features from Windows 2000 (e.g. Add/Remove Programs, Task Manager, Group Policy Editor, graphics for setup wizards, NTLDR etc)

It's a deliberate choice, so why is it shameful?
I think users are familiar with the old Windows stuff, and MS keeps it around, because people clearly don't care.
It is perhaps one of the best examples of don't fix what ain't broken in modern software.
Is it pretty and user friendly? NO, but noone cares, it's Windows.

Loveit

Notepad and Paint have been updated in the latest versions of Windows 11, I think they look like crap now.

Shut up, your text boxes haven't changed for 2 years
