What happens if you set year 10000 on Windows 11? 

Fun fact: The ribbon UI in file explorer can also be accessed by starting Control Panel and moving up one level (clicking the up button). This lasts until you close the window. You can also get the Windows 7 toolbars in explorer by navigating to Contacts and going back. Just like the ribbon, it will last until the window is closed.

Shoutout to that one guy that coded the Task Manager. He coded the thing to be at the heart of the system specifically so it will still run and perform its functions excellently no matter the situation and it shows here with it still functioning perfectly fine despite the shell shitting itself

It feels surreal seeing 9999 and 10,000 on the date bar, it gives me this odd "the world is ending" feeling

i like how after dozens of years, windows haven't changed a bit, we get the same thing but just in another wrap

This really shows just how robust windows XP really was. Almost all of its ancient features are still working under dozens of layers of jank and reskins.

"back in our day, we don't use task manager to make windows usable"

Errors: 4:33 - ms-settings:/ - File system error (-2018374635) 4:40 - Not implemented (1) 4:45 - Class not registered 4:55 - ms-calculator:/ - File system error (-2018374635) 4:56 - Not implemented (2)

just a note with the CPU process usage: None of the applications or services actually were using that much of CPU, it is a bug of task manager that cannot properly show the CPU usage when there is CPU idle disabled in the power plan settings, i guess forced CPU disabled idle is another bug of changing the date

Props to this man for time traveling to all of these years just to entertain us!

Lesson learned: whenever you set the year to 9998 in Windows 11 you get a free rave party (or a trip to the hospital for those with epilepsy)

This looks like either rollover bugs from stuff like the taskbar renderer or WinUI 2/3, or SSL errors (because the taskbar in Windows 11 is a WebView2) to me, however it's weird that earlier versions of Windows can handle Year 10000, but 11 can't, leaning me to the WebView or WinUI hypothesizes. I might do my own set of research later, primarily if settings in ExplorerPatcher might be able to make things in the shell "stable".

Actually, you can set the date MUCH higher (up to year 30827 according to winapi docs) using the SetSystemTime winapi and giving it a SYSTEMTIME struct.

I like how everything just struggles to run, the equivalent of lights in a hallway flickering, struggling to survive

I like how simply changing a number on the clock to 9999 will cause windows to have a stroke

"i'd like to activate my windows licence of windows 11" "Sir, the support ran out 7977 years ago" "Yes"

Makes me worry that we'll have a Y2.1K situation with Windows 11

So interesting to see the random, unrelated ways windows breaks after the time is set to 9999 and 10,000

The fact the current windows core is actualy Window XP is insane. Is like a car that have been totally modified to look like current car with bunch of modern assist device. But its still using the same old engine from 1980's.

never ask: a woman her age a man his salary enderman how many computers he broke

Love your content man! Keep it up! I would love seeing you trying or suggesting solutions to changing the windows version without having to reset the pc if thats possible (I'm asking because I joined the dev channel of windows 11 a while ago and microsoft won't let me out for 8 - 10 months and I don't want to reset my pc in order to leave it).

Microsoft really needs to find a fix to this, imagine if windows became unusable in 8,000 years. It would be a catastrophe.

It's impressive how computers work in such a specific way

people in 10000 when they react to when it was 2022: HOLY THAT WAS OLD

it feels kinda weird thinking about how this day is actually gonna come and none of us is gonna be there and nobody will remember us

FACT: Windows NT base os have a lots of MS certificate system. The certificates are set at the proper time, and before that time expires, the OS functions properly as they are renewed with Windows Update. If the time exceeds the certificate expiration time, the same phenomenon as the video occurs.

I love how the old NT apps works way better than the new shit

It would be interesting to see what happens if the date is set to 10000 on a version older than XP

Imagine someone actually manages to boot up Windows 11 in the year 10000 and this happens

brb setting my year to 10K to disable rounded corners, since they "fixed" the tool to disable them with an update I didn't ask for

would be interesting to see if you still have a pegged CPU if you completely disable networking and also set unistacksvcgroup startup to disabled (user data acces & user data storage services) , like if another process just grabs the idle time then...

Love the mood of your videos!

Intro: Everybody knows their Windows pc is a time machine. Me: 🤯🤯🤯

If I remember correctly from what I learned about Task Manager that eatleast the classic Taskmanager was built on a reserved interrupt. That is probably why it is working... As back in the old days you could restart using its Keycomb... (and you even can do this on BSD and Linux OS to this day...

some of the worse side effects are actually remitted by the y2k bug as a lot of devs put in safegards so it wolnt be as bad

Thank you! All your videos are so helpful!

The palpable relief I felt after clicking this and finding that this isn't like a 2 hour documentary with a sponsor segment is

What aliens would see if they recovered our pc’s

I also tried this on my real laptop windows 11 and it actually went to year 10k also, everything is still normal, background, taskbar, icon still functional, except it overheating and used 100% my cpu to keep this state works fine, right after this experiment i quickly set back to reailty time and everything was back to normal

Enderman: Sets year to 10000 on Windows 11 Me, an intellectual: Sets year to *11* 000 on Windows 11

it says explorer not implemented because in year 10000 windows 12 has started development, but in very very early alpha

4:04 this problem (the explorer window UI) is also present on Windows 11 Dev builds

*SONG NAMES:* 0:07 to 3:35 - Kruising by Windows 96 3:36 to 7:13 - Sharpest Knives also by Windows 96

People in 10000: umm your computer is a little bit outdated

Cant wait for someone to run DOOM 1993 while the operating system is rotting away from the passage of time.

Microsoft should hire enderman as a software tester

Glitch review: 10/10 great way to get square edges back on windows 11!

Love how Windows is having a seizure in the background while task manager is just chillin

really good video keep up the good work!

Fun fact: Setting the year to 30828 AD will crash Windows

Why does file explorer care what time it is?

its hard to believe how something so innocuous can make windows basically and parcially a software paperweight

How does this not prove planned obsolescence? I’m confused how there can be any innocuous explanation for what we’re experiencing here. Virtually everything stops working-and the API calls which do work take measurably longer-because of nothing more than a date change? Assume clean install. Assume unbloated registry. Assume no Internet connection at all, so there’s no data moving in the background and no attemps to phone home. And it behaves this way? Either it’s criminal incompetence in bad coding (tying agnostic physical operations to the literal time and date) or criminal incompetence in sales (planned obsolescence). So which is it?

Wow he's a lot of years ahead of us.

I am amazed the OS even boots. While driver signatures are valid by itself, the certificates would have expired by this point. I think Windows is trying to restore itself by trying to get a new valid root certificate and update for itself to ensure system health. And it can't, because SSL (used for the update) doesn't like being outside the valid ranges, as certs specify a valid "not before X" and "not after X". That's why you can't browse the web properly, if you set your system clock f.e 30 years ahead or after today.

Its almost like the OS is programmed to gut it's own performance after a certain period of time.

This is actually a lot like Y2K, computers didn’t use 4 digits for the time, so it caused a lot of panic as for what could happen. (Side note: A guy in another country briefly had 6 million in his account)

Good thing to know! I’ll make sure to update from windows 11 before year 10k!

The taskmgr doesnt lag beacuse it can rub without support from the shell.

speaking of the change of years, happy new year, guys! I hope y’all have a good 2023, I don’t know how time flies so fast 🥺🥺

works, keep up the good work man

i applaud this man for sacrificing many a VM for our enjoyment

I’m going to take a guess there’s some type of fallback implementation that isolates the core functions... time/date is implemented in APIi calls and anything that is expecting a certain value returned in memory allocated as X bytes is causing a memory address to become invalid so the kernel kills the offending process (which is why explorer and its functions keep dying and restarting). So Microsoft probably learned a few lessons with the Y2K bug but a lot of Windows apps remain fundamentally unchanged from the olden days and Windows and it’s components are a huge amount of code to analyze and implement fixes into (without causing new ones during that process is actually really difficult to do, especially if it’s compiled using libraries whose code can be many many years out of date). I wouldn’t want to go searching through OS code looking out for one tiny error without creating new ones! Plus, who the hell will be using Windows in 9999? We’ll be lucky to even have a habitable planet at that point!

That CPU vetting CRISPY tho 🔥🔥🔥💀

I'll worry about this in a few thousand more years. Too busy right now.

so u can say you’ve been using windows 11 for 10000 years a year after it gets released

I always wondered why the date has such impact? Aren't those just some numbers? And not too big, too

Happy birthday enderman

There's probably exceptions galore being thrown any time something tries to read the date.

So if im correct, the clock is basically a ticking bomb.

because is probably stored as binary data the binary digits should change how the pc behave, so you should try from year 4095-4096, year 8191-8193, and year 16383-16385

In that year i expect cyberpunk esque aesthetics and dystopia running wild

shell crash is actually a normal bug in windows 11 betas when you use battery on laptop

Wow! I can't belive Andrew time traveled to 10000! What's it like in the future?

I am mostly surprised by the fact that the rounded windows broke lololol, it tell's how Windows 11 and Windows 10 just used a skin but Windows 7 as a base

Now it would be insteristing to see someone who knwos much about windows and can explain wha texactly is happening.

So curious that in year 10.000 pc seems like the oldest one, like xp now. Or maybe, not. Interesting video!

I dont think any sort of engineering could stop that honestly. time is very picky to try and work with because its finite but treated as infinite. i guess if they removed the ability to set /YEAR=XXXXXX they could subside it, but it doesnt truely fix it, just like duct tape on a hole. Good video!

Hey corners are gone nice so it is windows 10 just a wrap for a newer look.

In fact for 64bit coded timing, the maximum year setting is something existing beyond normal timerelated imagination - if we count that in seconds. If we count the bits up in milliseconds, the timespan until the roll-over occurs still stretches into a half billion years.

Im really surprised that just a date did all this.

Also the rounded corners dont appear when explorer.exe isnt loaded properly or its sign that your PC Files are corrupted it also happens when explorer.exe is not responding or not turned on

Fun fact is:on year 10000 windows 200 is now out 😂

Never knew by changing the date you could do such damage

I'm Hungarian but I really like your videos and good luck, I don't know what to say

but if we REALLY are in 10000, there will be no pc at all?!?!

Not really related to the video itself, but you're one of the few creators I know who say "take care" at the end of their videos.

I can always trust in Enderman to keep me entertained

the crashing shell is my daily routine

Wow Microsoft really? Your stuff doesn’t last thousands of years?

I'm glad you're excited about your website and the topic you're covering! However, I would like to advise caution when experimenting with extreme date settings on any operating system. As I mentioned earlier, setting the year to a distant value like 10000 can potentially lead to unexpected and undesirable behavior due to how software and algorithms handle time-related calculations. It's important to remember that tampering with system settings can have unintended consequences, and it's generally recommended to avoid making changes that could disrupt the normal operation of your computer or software. If you're conducting experiments related to operating systems or software behavior, I recommend doing so in a controlled and isolated environment, such as a virtual machine, to prevent any negative impact on your main system. If you're genuinely interested in exploring the effects of setting the year to 10000 on Windows 11, I suggest taking careful steps and documenting your findings. Additionally, if you're sharing your findings on your website, it would be helpful to provide context, precautions, and details about the methods you're using to conduct the experiment. This can help your readers understand the potential risks and implications. If you have specific questions about your experiment or related topics, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to assist you!

Gotta love when the windows 7 control panel breaks in windows 11, causing a broken windows 10 vibe explorer window to exist somehow

Thats typically how will Windows 10000 work/look, btw great work, youre one of my fav RU-vidrs 😊 everyone who's watching your channel should subscribe to you! 😄👍

I genuinely wonder what causes these lag issues and errors to happen.

I find it weird that a single date can pretty mess up the whole operating system… I know this is a very rare case but you think windows would make this much more stable. Imagine what could happen if someone did this to a lot of computers using some program

Love the intro screen ❤️

david plumber (yt: Dave's Garage) really did a great job when he was writing the first task manager

Wow, Enderman finally decided to use songs from Windows96 - Reflections that isn't Landscaping or Drive Slow!

Wow

Those songs make me think about life, came here just to see a fun experiment :(

Task manager is a godsend.
