That folder conflict thing is actually probably part of the same system that handles AD folder collision. Usually in AD if a local user has the same name as a domain user the domain user gets username.domainname as the folder, looks like this is just that but locally, I doubt it's from older versions....or rather it probably is but not for any reason related to you installing windows there.
12:49 Well, you technically did not install windows in defaultuder0, you’re not outsmarted by windows because of some old NT heritage. Whenever a user profile is created with a preexisting folder with an identical name in the Users folder, Windows will change it to a “username.computername” naming scheme, when it does that, you can change the user profile path in the system registry and move over the user data and registry hive, that way, the user profile points to the same defaultuser0 folder.
Hey Andrew ! I found another remnant from windows 10 in windows 11 so if you open control panel move the directory up two times then that will show to windows 10 styled explorer. It functions the same but the upper panel is from windows 10 and all icons are from windows 11. Also if you go to C:\Windows\Media then there are a lot of sounds from older windows like windows 10 & 7. Its fun to watch your remnant videos so keep making other parts.
I found an older version of all the icons in the settings app (windows 10 settings app) this happened on windows 11 There’s also a bunch of random files that seemingly are squares of blue or black
Ok so after a bit of digging I found what I believe was the code that would’ve defined how Cortana was supposed to show up in a live tile on windows 10 (still on windows 11 where live tiles are gone)

It honestly makes me mad how Microsoft can’t just support UWP apps for the SYSTEM account. Windows is so screwed up that it literally needs to take five hours to set up a user profile just so you can use that unresponsive OOBE. It’s quite buggy too. Sometimes people get locked out of their computers before the OOBE even starts because defaultuser0 forces them to type a non existing password on the lock screen. I can’t imagine how many people threw away their brand new computers because of this annoying defaultuser0 problem. I hope this will be fixed by the time Windows 12 comes out. Also great video Enderman! Glad you are back.
@@phonl1I’m saying the OOBE should run within the SYSTEM account rather than a user context. That way it would be much more reliable and stable. Since it literally needs to log you into a separate account to use the oobe, log you out when you are done, then log you into your actual account.

I would love to see a video on "manual" windows installation, before this video I never put the pieces together and realized that the fundamental way windows is installed got changed at some point. How do you learn all this stuff? I can pull off this type of cursed stuff on Linux, but Windows seems like a whole different beast. Theres just so much *stuff* to wrap your head around, a lot of it from older versions that just got kept around. Plus, its not open-source, so you can't just change the code and rebuild, or peek inside of it to see what it's doing. Is there documentation somewhere on how windows works internally?

Windows 11 now allows the creation of these folders (at least not via Explorer) and you can access it normally now. Some apps may still have a problem with these folders (eg. Paint)
yooo you're alive, the Steve or Alex on the youtube moderation didn't kill you Also I never noticed that you couldn't choose the Windows directory in Windows XP (or vista) and later, despite having installed older versions of Windows so many times.
Yepp. Win11 taskbar is an UWP. But you can bring back the Win 10 one to make it work. And also for the start menu, you can use somethin' like OpenShell.
ntdev made a video on that, pretty unstable but works. On win 11 u also gotta remove dwmcore.dll to get the cursor back, and since on windows 10 explorer will crash without sihost, you can instead rename or delete systemapps in c:\windows and keep sihost.
There is actually another way - When you first install windows10 and end up in the oobe, press shift+F10 and from there plug in a usb with a win11 install on it and with that command line start setup.exe on that drive and perform an ImPlace Upgrade from Win10 to Win11. I accidentally did this at work once, lol
There's actually a work around for the explorer crashing. You mentioned that it crashes probably because of the new taskbar. You already made a video on rectifying windows 11 in which you added a registery key to get windows 11 to use the Win10 Taskbar
I know for a fact that the defaultuser0 collision detection has existed at least since Windows XP (probably even earlier), because one time I managed to corrupt the file permissions on my system drive, so it logged me into a temp user, but due to the broken permissions, it wasn't able to delete the temp user folder, so it would basically just create a new folder in the same format (username.pcname) and if I did it again, it would also add a number at the end (e.g. defaultuser0.PCNAME.001 or something like that)
The taskbar was so shocked by the event that it decided to run away. I couldn't handle the pressure of being the only part of Windows that wasn't broken.
how does my man come up with the most random video ideas and manage to make them so interesting? gotta respect the grind tbh. keep up the good work as we all love it :D
Considering that you were able to make this mostly work by merely editing registry hives, it shows how badly a lot of the low level windows programs are designed, considering that relevant windows installation directory environment variable does indeed exist. If Microsoft wanted to fix this, they could just use a find and replace on the source code.
Oh my gosh this video got the same error happening to my sister's computer for some reason the other day! The start menu won't open and I can't access settings, even to update the computer. "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action."
We thought we'd have to just get a new computer. I wonder if running ms-settings like you tried to do could get them to open, since there should be nothing funky going on with directories or anything
4:38 You're a chaos god. You opned THE FUCKING WINDOWS GUI from the boot screen. Are boot screens just some full screen program that Windows slaps together while explorer loads in much earlier?!
actually when you're on the boot screen it loads basic services n stuff then opens up cmd (you can open it by replacing things like what endermanch did in the video) you can do basically anything during boot screen, aswell do not attempt that on your real machine.
