It's the default theme when explorer is not working correctly. If you kill explorer in most Windows versions and start it back up it will briefly display in classic theme. It seems like it's built-in or something.
If you have hardware access, it is basically game over. You can also bypass Linux root password by changing grub parameters. Unless the disk is encrypted that is. So on unencrypted system, you can take over by restarting the system.
I used it as a backdoor on the school laptops once. There installation and update routine used the SYSTEM user and of of the setup.exe's opened a browser with a "thank you for using us" message... definitely didn't give me a chance to grab a cmd from the local filesystem and do a lot of other shit. I never bricked them though, that was the one thing I made sure of.
I used it a few times as well. SYSTEM user can bypass any login feature on win7, and allow anyone to delete rollback/disk image software such as DeepFreeze.
SYSTEM tampering is difficult to detect unless you're actively looking for it. Session 0 is only a session without a session token, naturally things there run as system. you can run things as SYSTEM anywhere else just fine.
This reminds me of tricks in older NT-based Windows (NT3/4/2K/XP/2K3) where you could change a registry setting for the default user's screensaver from logon.scr to cmd.exe, optionally lower the timeout value, reboot, wait at the login screen for cmd to pop up, and have fun without ever logging in!

I don't think you can, because if VNC is basically remote control, you're still sending mouse inputs. If the session doesn't accept those, it neither won't via VNC. But hey, you could try !
I remember that remote desktop software like VNC installed as a service wouldn't initially work on Windows 7, because they just connected you to the empty session 0 and you couldn't do anything. I wonder how TeamViewer etc. worked around this, since they seem to work just fine, as does later versions of UltraVNC.
i got this on a school pc 💀 it was an older printer driver that decided to load the print options in session 0 i wondered why the f**k the printer was there lmao
Interesting that they even carried that feature over to Win10 at all. (Since Win10 was supposed to be so modern and backwards compatability was cut down greatly. Also, they probably wanted companies to finally move on from old code, since they blocked mouse/keyboard input first and thus encouraged customers to annoy the hell out of them.) Also, while this may not be in direct connection with Session 0, there is a way to enable GUI Interaction for services (at least in services.msc). Maybe, possibly, that could do something? I never coded a service, but I know you can do a lot with a custom one. (Like PsExec which uses a service to elevate to SYSTEM.) Also I think Process Explorer could do something interesting (Reading process info about a session 0 process, trying to read threads or send a message to that session), but I currently can't check that.
@@FlyTechVideos Possibly. It just shows up as a checkbox under _every_ service in services.msc and AFAIK its still there under the newest windows version (Where ui0detect got removed) I have never used it, just saw it and thought that these may be connected.

Is it possible to redirect the output of cmd.exe to some program of your own so you can have a working command line in Session 0? In the latest versions of Windows 10, I mean.
I think PsExec actually redirects the output of a program to where it was called from IF it's used to run a program on a remote computer, so you can get a remote shell through it without using things like SSH... So it definetly is possible in some way
I have seen session 0 before! It was on my school computer where when we are logging in, pressing ctrl+alt+del would ended up in session 0. Although we cannot run anything on it and after a few seconds it would return to the main screen automatically, we thought that this may speed up the log in process. Never thought it was something special.
I may be biased against MS but session 0 sounds like a band-aid placed on a centimeter deep cut that was later promptly removed while other 'fixes' that are on the same level remain for "backwards compatibility". They seem to be very inconsistent.

Funny enough, theres some HP printer drivers for 8.1/10 who call for this function to complete their installation, at least I used them on the first 3 Win10 major updates without any issue.
i have watched this vid in the past and recently i remembered about it and wanted to find it but could remember much and now it pops up in my recomended. thanks yt algoritm you were helpful for once 😀
Can you do a video on SECDRV.SYS and possibly how to safely re-enable it on Windows 10? It is known as "Secure Drive" and it was used for DRM like SafeDisk for some old disk games used to prevent disk copying. This was completely removed in Windows 10 and later removed in 8.1, 8 and 7. I am not sure in Vista but Windows XP still has it. The removal of this broke a whole lot of good old games as the system can't read the disk properly any more. It is a system driver, but also a service.
Secure Drive, along with the DRMs that made use of it, is inherently unsafe. You'd be much better off finding the game on Good Old Games and getting it there. If that doesn't work find a """legal"" (wink) no-DRM copy of it online.
I used to run chrome with automated script to refresh and automatically log in the captive portal for me in session 0. To keep machine connect to the internet 😅

@@FlyTechVideos No. It just restarts explorer. I also figured out what the popup was, it was TaskbarX (a cool taskbar editor) failing after I killed explorer
So the whole purpose of session 0 is to just isolate system processes from the user accounts? I understand that it's a security risk to have the system processes running in the same session as the user but how does putting the system in its own session help?

Session 0 is like your computer entered purgatory
What if you'll format disk that inserted by virtual Box (like .iso)?
So the whole purpose of session 0 is to just isolate system processes from the user accounts? I understand that it's a security risk to have the system processes running in the same session as the user but how does putting the system in its own session help?
The magic of P R O G R A M M I N G
Where programmers would rather burn themselves out to create something noone can understand but it works, rather than destroying their sanity all together by making something that works and people understand.
In the intro I now expect the coco melon fly sound
In windows 8.1 it shows the windows 7 basic theme for a split second after it exits session 0
:o easter egg spotted!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!1!1!1!!1!!!!1!1!!1!1!1!!!1111!!!!!!!!!
0:13 sounds like linux tty1 - 6 with extra steps
I got this once on Windows 7, Adobe AIR (the latest version at this time) was displaying messages / update notifications into session 0 (instead of my session), for no reason... although Adobe AIR was a quite new/recent program
1:53 I thought my PC was going to Blue Screen!
Just had some issues with a bsod saying session0initilasation failed. At least now I know what the heck session 0 is.
But more interesting is that this happened to me in 1903....where it is supposed to be non existent anymore
It exists! You just can't access the interface anymore
What about Session -1 by setting SessionId to -1... Windows 10 only checks if SessionId is 0, so something interesting can happen...
I used to experience this a lot in Windows 7 and I thought it was a bug! How did I trigger it with Google Chrome though...
