The well-known phrase 'It is now safe to turn off your computer' was back in the days when you still had to turn off the computer manually. Now that happens automatically when you shut down the computer.

@@tylern6420 None. All PCs are ACPI-compatible nowadays, this screen was made for older non ACPI-compatible PCs in the 90s but was left as a remnant from the past by Microsoft

@@tylern6420 no, it doesn't work like that. Power switch on basically every older console (pre-6th gen I think) was a hardware button that cut power off to console's motherboard.

Technically, computers these days don't truly turn off, but rather, they enter an extremely low power "stand-by" mode. As long as the power supply is switched on or the battery has charge on it (depending if it's a desktop or laptop), the computer is always drawing power.

@@Roll3er He mentioned all of computers which I chose to interpret as meaning "all desktop computers and servers". Since every computer (by that definition) theoretically supports some kind of hybrid suspend, the question then becomes whether it is enabled on most computers. However, since (as far as I know) neither the most used desktop operating system nor any of the most used server operating systems do enable this feature out of the box, we can conclude that the statement that "computers these days don't truly shut off" is wrong.

The Non-ACPI shutdown may still be useful for embedded systems.

My last workplace had one such piece of manufacturing equipment with an embedded Windows system, which was still running Windows XP. As it was powered on and off by a hard switch, the hardware did not support the ACPI shutdown (the best I could tell) and we always saw the XP's shutdown screen when we shut down Windows.

In addition to debuging purposes within Microsoft, I wouldn't put it past embedded equipment manufacturers to be doing the exact same thing today, only now using Windows 10 or 11

A lot of places like that actually still use 95 and XP

there's something so unsettling about just seeing the text "it is now safe to turn off your computer" in small text with a black background in modern times

For me, it's that and just how the text overall looks, like a low-color image of text. 😣

I wonder why they removed the Windows logo from XP's shutdown screen? It looked less unsettling there

@@ToaderTheToad Comparing that to the Windows 10/11 version, the Windows XP screen's text looks clean (no anti-aliased pixels around the text) so it looks like it belongs, and indeed, I agree, the Windows XP logo was a nice touch. Microsoft shouldn't have removed it from later versions; It feels like they assumed that since barely anyone would see it that they could cut corners and make it look unsettling.

The Windows 10/11 screen's text for some reason is anti-aliased with blue pixels, like it's meant to be shown on top of a blue background like Windows 10's shutdown screen. However, they show it on top of a black background, giving it this weird crusty look; I think that is what makes it so creepy. That, and how it's randomly off-center in the top-left corner!

–Yeah. I'd be kinda freaked out, this "design" feels like my pc isn't really safe /for me/ to turn off now and if I do, it will continue working without power /and even more, doing creepy stuff/. My mental health actively feels unsafe now-

i feel like any error-esque screen with a black bg and white text is just unsettling. just cause it's so incredibly different from the norm of colorful icons and complex ui's, it just feels like something is wrong because it's just too simple

i feel like thats also why bsods are kinda creepy, cuz its just blue and white text

The XP one is the creepiest for me. The huge icon combined with dark background and silence makes me wait for a jumpscare.

@@magsetyeah me too it's it's definitely scarier than in windows 11. The low colour profile Windows XP logo on a black background just looks creepy as hell

@@XaneMyers the Vista/7 one looks even more unsettling since it sits in the middle of the screen (and much smaller), looking a lot like Wii errors


The Win95 version of the shutdown screen actually just exits Windows into single DOS mode. In fact, if you started Windows the old way (hit F8 to start up in DOS, then type WIN to launch Windows), then when you select Shut Down, you can actually type DOS commands blindly. I demonstrate the side effects of this in a vid.

When you shut down your computer and go on a week long vacation later realizing you had this enabled

@@MrMasterKeyboard The average pc isn't even that expensive to run at full power, and the cost for idling on this screen would be very low.

If you had an OLED monitor, you would get a pretty burn-in 😁


Well yes. That group policy disables ACPI basically. ACPI is used for hardware power management. An OS mainly uses ACPI to shut down or restart. If Windows can't use ACPI at any point, it outputs that screen. Editing group policy just turns off a way for OS to access ACPI. The same thing happens when you disable ACPI Mode in BIOS.
If the ACPI 'device' couldn't shut down a computer for any reason, whether it's an OS being restricted to do this through group policy (which you showed in a video), ACPI Mode being disabled, problem with the ACPI 'device' itself, or hardware problem, and Windows attempts to shut down anyway, it instead outputs that screen.
That It is now safe to turn off your computer. screen, well, as it tells you, your PC is pretty much halted and it's safe to just power off your PC at any way instead of shutting it down. This screen has VGA mode enabled (640x480 resolution, not SVGA!), and that's the UI from ntoskrnl.exe process (open it in ResourceHacker if you don't trust me)

"That group policy disables ACPI"... no it doesn't. Vista and later require ACPI (it doesn't have non-ACPI HALs)

ACPI is A LOT more than just Power Management lmao

I remember seeing this screen (the classic orange one) on the win98 laptop I had as a kid. It's cool that it still exists.


I think this screen nowadays is more useful for devices which don't have soft power-off, but comply with ACPI in every other way (like a server). Really interesting how Windows 8 doesn't have that screen - makes me wonder if that was added back into Windows 10 in response to people using Windows on systems which can't do soft power (instead relying on a hard power switch).


Didn't know this was still around. Fascinating! I loved this message as a kid. Just something very... imperious, authoritative about it. The finality of knowing you were finally safe.

Thank you Endermanch for all the support, i can't explain how much you have saved me, i'm literally in the process of fixing my main laptop because I did a dual boot of Windows 10 and Windows 11 and it broke my laptop from booting into Windows 10 and i couldn't boot into Windows 11 since the boot menu didn't show up to select Windows 11 i couldn't boot into even a OS and i couldn't boot into Windows RE since the F8 screen never shows up, so i had to go get my old laptop and re image the USB Drive to be bootable and once i was in the Windows Indtaller i had to install a driver, once i did i can delete the partition from diskpart then check if the BCD is intact and had only Windows 11 and then i rebooted and then Windows 11 finally booted


I have no idea why, but anything that makes computers not function like normal (even if it is coded into the PC's programing for functions) scare me sometimes, like more of a chill down my spine then a jumpscare designed to scare people (things like the "Blue Screen of Death" sometimes if unexpected, or the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen from this video)


2:34 in win 11 (not sure if applies in 10) you'll have to gpupdate /force in order to forcefully update any gp change. prolly windows went the linux way to update current user stuff AFTER a logout

On Linux, if the computer doesn't support ACPI, the computer will just freeze with the message "reboot: power off"

yeah, and because there's more text (the logcat) it doesnt look as creepy as M$ Windows


There is one?! Back to Windows 95 days holy crap


I wonder if this would show up on various ARM platforms that you could install Windows on to which many have no way to perform a soft shutdown, like the raspberry pi.  I think there was a windows 10 version for that but not sure about 11.

I don’t think so, due to Windows for ARM only supports UEFI and ACPI(yes there is a spec for ACPI on ARM)

The Pi can do soft shutdown, just you can't turn it on again without pulling the plug.

Probably for the same reason that error screens on consoles like the PS2 freak people out


Weird to see Microsoft supporting devices that don't have ACPI but not supporting 2 year old x86_64 CPUs


I remember somehow the ACPI shutdown failed on my xp machine as a kid, gave me the "now safe" which i had only seen on the family 98 rig. its unexpectancy was certainly unnerving to say the least when you're used to it just going down normally


It was (and probably still is) possible to install Windows XP on not fully ACPI compliant hardware and end up legit using these screens.  A lot of AMD Super Socket 7 platforms still used the AT standard power connector these systems were not fully ACPI compliant even if their bios was due to the fact that the computer could not control the power state.

When Windows XP is being installed you can press one of the Fkeys i forget which one during the Press F6 for storage drivers prompt to be able to select a non ACPI compliant installation for XP bypassing the normal check.

I have a Windows XP virtual machine.
The 0xA5 ACPI_BIOS_ERROR blue screen says how to disable ACPI during system setup.
"(...) you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system (...) will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation."

i think windows 8 froze because of the surface design's purpose. Windows 8 or 8.1 is designed for surfaces which can't have any chances for turning off manually like all the old toasts or the other Windows, when click Shut down, it won't show that screen (you have explained), but surfaces always have a shutdown button at the corner of the device which has the effects like the start menu or it has a different API calls.

Why would you want windows to shutdown but not cut off power ONLY when the shutdown is initiated by a program?


Are u gonna make a video called using 8.1 for its final days?


I have a virtual machine on 86Box with Windows XP that does not have ACPI Support, so when it shuts down it shows that screen.


wait why dose win 8.1 didt have any non acpi shut down screens meaning it just freazes on thhe shutting down screen intill you reset the device or hard power off the pc


I wonder what computer have TPM 2 module and does not have ACPI.


Can you make "Using Windows 8 for its last days" ?


i think you can get the it is now safe tp turn off your computer image by unzipping the ntoskrnl exe in system 32 and looking uin the rsrc folder and then opening the 1033 folder then opening the bitmap folder then opening the 3.bmp picture.


it did not work for you because you forgot to press the apply button. instead you pressed OK.


Why does that screen on Windows 95 and XP kinda creep ne out...?


Let's appreciate how much time he spends on the videos: really hard work! Thanks Enderman and love you!


can u make a video reviewing F Secure pls


Your videos are really educational but I do not know how you keep consistently finding the most annoying background music possible


I see you have good taste in music kits.


Got this when I forcefully ejected a E: drive


hey enderman : ) pls next vid be windows 7 on nvme gpt and nvme drivers


F for no Using Windows 8.1 for its final days video from him.


Hi Enderman, I have made a English (international) version of my custom Windows ( Windows GLE) and there is the channel on the paper plane app and discorD


Fun Fact: Windows Whistler or Windows ME was early Windows XP

windows whistler was the codename for windows xp while it was still in development
windows me on the other hand is a whole different system it's not related to xp in any way as it's still based on dos and not nt
it's more like a home version of windows 2000 while 2000 is for business


bro really drops a banger song in the background and doesn't link to the original 😭

Knock2 - dashstar*


This is still used in industrial applications and some media delivery systems.


Yo enderman what's ur antivirus i need it bc i think i have 1


"I shoulda done this like a million years ago!"


what would happen if you did this on a laptop


Question: can any non-ACPI motherboard even run Windows 11?

maybe some embedded systems don't have acpi?<br>that would be my guess.

maybe some embedded systems don't have acpi?
that would be my guess.

No, unless you use specific registry tweaks, 11 requires Secure Boot and TPM Prescence, both of which require UEFI

Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are the last versions of Windows to support non-ACPI motherboards. Windows Vista and the server equivalent require ACPI. Windows Embedded Standard 2009 is the last version of Windows Embedded to support non-ACPI motherboards. Windows Embedded Standard 7 and newer embedded versions of Windows require ACPI.


Hey enderman do you have a virus called HappyFiles it is very known and it has a entity called jungler


Hello, I saw that you're using Windows Xp on VMs. Which program do you use?


Im thinking about something, is this screen not in win32 mode ??? If it isn't, couldn't we just mod the process responsible for this and execute a specific program (like a shell ??)

No, at best its Native runtime, not Win32, which means its in the same runtime realm as other things that need to run before or without Win32 has been brought up like csrss and AUTOCHK


this screen does NOT make me feel it is safe to turn off my computer


Sometimes i miss just a video with music


Finally, i can shut my PC down without risk.


Enderman where are your videos.We are waiting


Will the project computer upgrade to make it faster?


Yo enderman, i hope ur gonna also do, using windows 8.1 for its final days it would be interesting cuz in January 10 2023 it ends it support :(


So, windows 10 have same shutdown screen with windows 11?


Hey, this is the 1st anniversary of Windows 11!


btw u know any methods to change resolution from 1366 x 768 to 1920 x 1080 in an intel laptop even tho it is not supported?


is there a malware or something that doesnt just destroy a computer, but can destroy a virtual machine?

a vm is technically just a normal computer, but its motherboard is listed as vmware for example


This could be useful as my computer will not poweroff after shutdown.


Is this a virtual machine cuz I'm sure nobody would ever install steam on a vm


After turn off you keep power button 10 sec to turn off


Hey Andrej, you haven’t uploaded in a month, but you are probably going to upload tomorrow, because it’s January 10th, 2023, or maybe on January 11th. Correct?

You uploaded a (great)
video 3 years ago that is just like the one I’m thinking of. Although I think it’s gonna be a bit different.


did the windows 8 crash or is that the screen for windows 8?

Windows 8 lacks a screen, so just.. Freezes at that point.


Video idea: Use windows 8.1 for the last days just like last time


I did everything in this video but the screen didn’t show up
System version 22H2
What’s wrong?


Don't think we didn't see the 'Recycle Bin OwO' in the Windows 7 install 😂


Mum sorry, but why are you not posting for the last two months?


"its save to turn off your computer"<br>but i dont have shutdown button

"its save to turn off your computer"
but i dont have shutdown button


Kinda similar to Windows 98 when you run it on MS-DOS!


am i the only mf who actucally likes windows 11 more than 10, 8.1, 8, 2000, 98, 95?


I have a news, Microsoft release a Windows 10 22h2. Maybe, this topic (Windows 10 22h2) for next video. I was confused about windows 10 22h2 is it true or not? Thank you


iv'e got windows 11. 1Secound later: "omgg i want to try that"🤩


What about versions between Vista to 10? I wonder how the non-ACPI screen look like in these versions...

did you watch the video? He literally showed them at the end lmao

What's that cupcakKe sound ? I've never heard it before !


make the FURTHEST apart multiboot you can (unsupported)


This screen had never appeared on my laptop


Can you make a video on how AT&T teamed up with McAfee to release their own antivirus, I think it’s shitty.


If I got this somehow I would be fucking terrified I did something wrong like when I accidentally booted my mom's laptop into recovery mode


My Windows 7 computer have this feature too.


There is no gpedit, gpedit.msi, or edit group policy on my PC whatsoever.

Most likely your on a Home SKU of Windows.


I don't have the pro version.<br>Is it possible on home edition?

I don't have the pro version.
Is it possible on home edition?


Win XP was the only one to have that, no other OS had that. I didn't really like it though


Next video: Running Windows 11 in a non ACPI Computer

No dice, 11 doesnt have a non-ACPI version of its HAL, so it just wouldn't boot or would crash very early in the boot. In fact, I don't think any version for quite a while has had a non-ACPI HAL available

@@deadair32101 i'm pretty sure BOOTMGR would give an error


Can you help me Im trying to insttall wireles hardware drivers I tried with sd card it didnt work hope endermanch replies to this comment


yooo i don't known if this works on Windows 11


Hey Enderman can you make video how to Delete "agentTesla malware" pls i need your help.

@NotHixzzu agent tesla is malware that remote acces our computer it will danger if the malware fully get into our computer


Could you tell me where did you download the iso image of windows xp?


great video! today i have an idea... i tried all day long to boot a windows 10 installation on uefi ramdisk by modifying the boot.wim file used to load the Windows PE environment that normally is used do install windows. i tried to overwrite the boot.wim windows PE system with an Tiny10 installation, and have no success. if somehow it was possible, it would be a great video.

This channel is just “guys my computer is Broken”

it really isn't. do your research before you post a comment about someone


IS WINDOWS 11 WORTH THE UPGRADE?

Well, It depends on what type of person you are, If you are a simple user, Using a personal computer in your home, Then Windows 11 might be nice to try, If you're some sort of TECHNOLOGY Expert, Using a really powerful computer with two or three monitors at home or office, Then Windows 11 is not for you because Windows 11 doesn't have some of the features that Windows 10 has, Like changing Taskbar location, Being able to refresh in File Explorer.etc, Also, Technology experts seriously minds very small things in Windows 11 like Rounded Corners, The Taskbar.etc! Like seriously! What's the huge deal about it? Also, There's tabs on file explorer that Windows 10 don't have so Windows 11 is for me and I am using Windows 11 on my Main PC

the answer is yes, you can do like whatever you want, if you put your mind to it


Does this only work with Windows Professional?

i think so, unless you somehow get Windows to run without ACPI to not show an error while booting


i stumbled across this stumbling video about how to stumble to a scret stumbling down screen that stumbles text into your eyes that tells "it is now safe to stumble off your system"

weird thing is it litterally happend to me for the first time while shutting down my new win xp installation lol

click the power options button on logonui. hold shift and click restart. should get you to recovery mode. if that doesn't work, restart and repeat the following 3 times or until it tries to automatic repair: 1. at the first sign of windows booting (the windows logo appearing with the loading circle), hold the power button to turn it off forcefully. turn it back on. repeat 3 times or until it tries a repair. if it prompts you to restart let it because that is needed. after that go to Advanced Options> Command Prompt. In the command prompt type "net user administrator /active:yes. type in "exit". restart or press continue to windows. Administrator account should be reactivated..

This group policy is used on ATMs a lot. From what I've seen on the Internet, a lot of ATMs are not being shut down normally but through remote shutdown or ExitWindowsEx. Since they have that GPO enabled, they do not shut down automatically and they show the safe to shutdown screen. The ATMs use computers that have ACPI.

I tried to replace the bitmap resource inside the binary responsible for this screen in Windows 7 to make it look like the one from the 9x era (I forgot what it was, I think it was ntoskrnl.exe but could've been some DLL though). No luck, even after appending some empty bytes to keep the size identical, as it's naturally protected by a checksum or something.
