(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

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).
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.

[sillygoobersupersilly]

win 7 will always be the most nostalgic os for me, i would always play purble place and minesweeper on it growing up :)

[BlossomAnyaGamer_YT]

Windows 7 was actually my first time to play Stick Empires. Im gonna miss that game 😔

[princegroove]

Awesome! I remember learning on windows 3.1 while in school, then being blown away windows 95 shortly thereafter.

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!

8:49 I had these computers in my school for a computer class and I never knew it was this one

[Duylog]

Im born in 1990, my first Windows is win98.

[bimonugroho]

Windows 3.1 was my first experience using a computer.
My favorites are Windows XP and Windows 7.
I feel so old LOL

[coldplayistheworld]

Not a huge computer person but I love this stuff

[danielpozo]

3:19 en el caso de Windows NT 4.0 hubiera quedado genial de que se mostrara la imagen de Windows NT 4.0 en pantalla completa y mostrando la barra de iniciando Windows, así como lo hicieron con Windows 95, Windows 98 y Windows 2000; en vez de dejar la imagen de esa misma versión de Windows como margen

[akshanshbais]

I still have windows 7
I am now 12 years old

[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

[mrsmitty]

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.

[removedchanneltoday]

I downloaded chrome on my tablet it's says user account control but it's nothing I downloaded and log in my Google account

[scajk]

Why are 98 and Me's startup sounds sped up?

[hedgieoffline]

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

[yamperbolt]

the loading screen time were way longer than the system UI display time😂

[zoeinnit]

Windows XP was my childhood but funnily enough, it took years for my dad to upgrade our computer to Windows 7 and then Windows 10 before downgrading to Windows 8 and then upgrading back to Windows 10. My school on the other hand followed, they used Windows XP for years before upgrading to Windows 7 and after a trojan horse, we upgraded to Windows 10.

Welcome to the future where computers are so fast you have to slow down the emulation to see the old Windows startup screens lol. 🙂
