(Updated) Evolution of Windows Startup Screen 1985-2022

After 1 year,Version 2 of Windows Startup screen is finally released :)
Changes :
1. Added Windows NT 3.X version, Windows 3.0 MME, Windows Server version and latest Windows 11 preview
2.fixed bugs
3.added intro
4.updated some version of Windows startup screen, including Windows 11 one
Please note: for a technological reason, i can't get sound driver work in Windows NT 3.1.If the sound driver work in Windows NT 3.1,the tada.wav will be played.Plus, due to copyright claim reason, I muted the Windows NT 5.0 startup sound.If the sound is played,it will sound like this : • windows NT 5.0 /window... .Finally, for some weird reason, the logon sound of Windows Server 2008 R2 didn't record when i am recording.
P.S , before dislike this video , please notes:
1.Windows do not have sounds before windows 3.0 MME.
2.Windows NT 5.0 Beta 1 and Beta 2 used windows NT 4.0 as shutdown sounds instead of windows 2000 beta 3 build 1946-1969 startup sound. The long startup sound is introduced in build 1671 and used until build 1911. Before that , Windows NT 5.0 used Windows NT 4.0 startup and shutdown sounds.
4.Windows Whistler used 2000 sounds until build 2485(2481 does have windows xp sounds but they still use 2000 sounds as default).
5.The windows longhorn sounds that widespread believe • Windows Vista Beta Sou... is fake and never used in any windows longhorn builds. The origin of the sound theme is actually came from an official Samsung desktop theme for Windows XP. Windows longhorn used windows XP sounds until 5840.16384(while later builds used Windows Vista RTM Logoff sound as the shutdown sound.)
6.Starting from Windows server 2008,as Windows startup sound is broken in Server Version of Windows, only logon sound will be played in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.Since Windows Server 2012,logon sound is disabled by default and no sound will be played during startup in Windows Server 2012 and onward.

That windows 7 chime returned me to my childhood and put an immediate smile on my face. Never knew it was also in windows Vista since I never used it.

[@meshalgaming7495]

my mom owns a windows 7 we still have it we now use our windows 11

[@HirokaAkita]

That's because 7 to Vista is something like 8.1 to 8 or XP to ME. It was technically the same OS, but completely fixed, or as some would say it "As it should be released". (Also, Vista's original idea development was a complete living hell for MS.)

Amazing that you got all of these all loaded up in VM Ware! Can't have been easy with the older Windows iterations. I lived through almost all these from Win 3.11 onwards, including NT but not the servers. Only, I never did see Windows Whistler - what was that? I used Win NT4 because it was so much more stable than Win95, but I never saw NT5. Was that widely distributed? Epic effort - thanks!

[@egormalashevsky]

Whistler is the codename of Windows XP. And NT 5.0 is a beta version of Windows 2000.

[@JTTimeCatcher]

Windows "Whistler" was a 'beta' (ongoing development) OS from 2000-01 that was later developed into Windows XP (but retained the codename). Windows NT 5.0 is Windows 2000 in-development (late 1990s), but also retained the codename.

@@kirstenkees755 Windows 98 is not compatible with VMware, it's extremely hard to install it and make it work perfect.

[@gwgux]

Is it just me, or did the logins get progressively slower for most of the newer versions of Windows (not counting server editions)? I've used most of these and it feels like my my suspicions over that have now been confirmed after seeing them lined one up after the other like this with what looks to be default settings. For all the controversy around Windows 11, at least it looks like it logs in faster than Windows 10. lol

[@FroggyMosh]

I feel like I've heard or read an explanation for this, that claimed that startup times indeed got slower to speed up the shutdown times. Win95 and 98 took AGES to shutdown (And you had to sit there and wait till it told you to push a button to actually turn off power). Win2k being first and foremost aimed at the office worker, startup times were deemed less important than shutdown times; When shutting down at 5 pm you just want to leave, while at 9 am you don't care if bootup takes 5 mins as you'll just go get yourself some coffee. _(edit to add: I remember now, this explanation came from one of my professors, an old dog who used to work for MS. I have an degree in Information Sciences )_

[@SpaceDrake]

Well, these are all being done on VMWare on what I'd guess is an SSD, so the load times won't be accurate to period hardware in any event. Newer Windows do tend to load up more things (or more complex things), but the older Windows are being assisted by *absurdly* more powerful hardware than they were designed for. Remember that Windows 1 and 2 were built with *single-digit megahertz*, single-core processor speeds in mind!

[@81mrsmitty]

Win 3.1 was my first windows. Just used Ms-dos before that. Of all windows windows xp and 7 I feel were the best versions.

[@zoeinnit2160]

XP and 7 were my childhood, and I feel honoured as someone who used these versions religiously when I was younger, looking back now, I wish Dad hadn't upgraded our home computer or thrown out the old Windows XP laptop that broke down but he's a computer engineer and he wants us to use the latest because apparently, Microsoft ended their support in these versions (sad I know) so I have to stick with Windows 10 now, also my school had to upgrade their Windows 7 computers to Windows 10 due to a trojan horse 😭

[@danielpozo1447]

Windows 8.1 never used the Windows Vista/Windows 7 startup sound also Windows 10 never had a startup sound BUT the reason why it does play the Windws Vista/Win7 startup sound because they never had idea or intensions for a start up sound so it was disabled but people enabled it through the settings

[@ThatRandomToast]

You firstly stated "never used" but then "it does play", what do you mean?

[@hedgieoffline]

@@ThatRandomToast i'm meaning that Windows 8 8.1 and Windows 10 Dont have a Startup sound there never had one but in the file you can Active a startup sound and it will be the Windows Vista/7 Startup sound because within the Files there is a startup sound but 8 8.1 and Win10 never had intentions of having a startup sound but yeah if you want to active a startup sound on ur Windows 8 8.1 or Windows 10 PC you can but it uses the Windows Vista/7 Startup but Win11 has a startup chime

[@ThatRandomToast]

@@hedgieoffline Saying "don't have" in this case is pretty loose. In Windows Vista and later, the startup sound can no longer be changed in the registry nor Control Panel, but rather embedded in imageres.dll (imageres.dll.mun in Windows 10 version 1903 and later including Windows 11). Unlike Windows XP and earlier where it can be changed in Control Panel.
