# The Windows 11 OOBE is a mess...
|
||||||
|
The OOBE (Out-of-Box Experience) is the first thing a user sees when they boot up a new Windows device.
|
||||||
|
It's the first impression of the operating system, and it's important to get it right.
|
||||||
|
At first glance, it seems to be a thing Microsoft surprisingly _has_ gotten right.
|
||||||
|
However, once you take a look under the hood, you find a mess of legacy code, hidden features and undocumented APIs...
|
||||||
|
and suddenly, you take it all back.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this article, I aim to take a deep dive into that mess and explore some hidden features and
|
||||||
|
customization options it offers.

### The OOBE protocol
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The OOBE is a web application, and the `ms-cxh://` protocol is a custom handler that defines a couple of shortcuts to
|
||||||
|
various pages, seemingly, for internal use.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The list of available protocol strings can be retrieved by scanning Windows binaries for the `ms-cxh://` occurrences.
|
||||||
|
Luckily, Hexacorn did all the heavy lifting for us and shared
|
||||||
|
his findings in [his blog post](https://go.enderman.ch/18n6n).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The protocol API is **undocumented** by Microsoft, so it's not guaranteed to work in the future.
|
||||||
|
In fact, it has already been partially removed or deprecated in Windows 11 without any notice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Microsoft used acronyms in protocol strings, and some of them are quite cryptic, but there's nothing we can't decode.
