A few more protocol handlers :)

Ug_0Security asked, and I am answering 🙂

Not all of them are just from win11, but it’s just a quick diff between what I saw back in 2018 and one of the latest win11 builds; pretty sure some of them appeared in later versions of win10:

Windows Installation animation

While looking at \Windows\system32\oobe\ files I had a quick check what FirstLogonAnim.exe does and discovered that on top of accepting the following command line arguments:

  • /zdp (for Zero Day Package)
  • /oobe
  • /oobetransition
  • /existinguser
  • /explorer

it can be run with /RunFirstLogonAnim as a first argument and in such case will launch the ‘Windows installation’ animation. If both /RunFirstLogonAnim and /explorer are present in the command line, you won’t be able to close the animation.
