Windows 95 eventually deleted parts of system32 in its own. I had to repair it about once per month. After a while I learned to have a backup of system32 just to be able to restore files from it.
Ways ago I had a colleague try to "make space" by deleting all the DLL files out of the Windows (XP) system folder They came to me for help. They were French, the computer was the French model and it was French edition of Windows. I cant read French. Managed to recover it using English widows DLL files. The machine was very confused about what Language after that, with some dialogs in French and some in English. Then some one broke into their apartment and stole the machine…
You know what's funny is a buddy's dad of mine during a restore turned his computer off after like a couple hours and It had the same symptoms to this and I'm pretty sure it corrupted the system 32 file. I had to reinstall the windows to fix it.
System 32 holds the commands used to delete things. Thus as it is deleting files, it will eventually delete the command to delete things and stop deleting things forever
To get the "failure to display sign in and security options" message safely, you can kill winlogon after or right when ctrl + alt + delete is pressed. Winlogon is a very important feature of windows and it makes sense why that happened
I remember in school trying to delete it, it didn’t do anything lol. Also i had a friend who supposedly coded a virus that’ll kill computers, it didn’t work either
years ago I was cleaning up old files on the ancient school computers and my brother wanted to help and not thinking about it I told him to start deleting files… a min later he asked me why his wasn't working. he'd gone into the Win32 file folder and been deleting it file by file until it bricked and froze, unable to continue
Derp..I thought LTT were techs. Reboot into recovery enviroment(like you had it) click the command-line option. Run: dism /image:D: /cleanup-image /restorehealth Reboot once its done. Profit. **If D: is for some reason NOT the system disk, you can find it by: diskpart list volume exit **
I actually did this lol, but on my windows phone 10 back when it was new. Windows 10 OS and system32 was eating up half my memory of my phone, and OS was hella choppy, so I deleted it to make some space. Surprise surprise I hard bricked my phone. I had to reinstall OS from the scratch. Good times, windows phone OS is still beautiful in my eyes.
My delete system32 ducky script is a one liner and shorter then what they did lol. Hak5 didn't like that ducky and suddenly 3 new paragraphs of disclaimer an a file cleanup of their repo happened.
I dd'd my root partition on a Linux machine once… 10 minutes before our new boss walked in LOL.. luckily I was SMRT and had my home partition later on the drive. 😂

Your name is Franklin System Muttchunker
"Windows doesn't want you to break your PC"
My PC: "You sure about that?" Proceeds to ask me to eject my C drive

I may be rusty but I think if you can refresh the PC using an install disk while leaving files and data in place you can repair a system32 deletion.
Great vid
extract 47.zip for the next reel
"sufficently borked" is my new favorite line for when somethings fucked up beyond recognition

You can get the hard drive out put a system 32 in there and reboot 😊
Errors are red, my screen is blue someone help, I deleted system 32
Done this in WindowsXP a while ago
Damn Linus u fatten up??!!
Hahaha😂 Bro are you sure you want to do that? Dying.
I’m not saying that channels that takedown scammers need to do this to call centres buuut 😂
I remember that in windows 3.11 you could delete system32.dll while it's running. And then it kind of stops. And then your parents are angry
cmd 🤢🤮
We old people used something like cc cleaner to do that in the old age 😅

Why reupload?
At least that's one safeguard that we can thank Microsoft for, I guess.
Oh the beautiful days of DOS commands…Deltree you were an angel and a demon rolled into one

I had a user on windows 2000 who deleted io.sys and msdos.sys to make it boot up faster… It didn't work
roses are red violets are blue I delete system 32 lol
Derp..I thought LTT were techs.
Reboot into recovery enviroment(like you had it)
click the command-line option. Run:
dism /image:D: /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Reboot once its done.
Profit.
**If D: is for some reason NOT the system disk, you can find it by:
diskpart
list volume
exit

My little sister somehow managed to delete system 32 about half a year ago. We’re still impressed. Disappointed, but impressed.

Windows 11 doesn't let you delete sys32
But windows 10 doesn't give a f*ck. Mr yeester has done it on his machine which was on windows 10.
On Linux, it's called deleting the french language pack.
Lol delete that snd your system will crash
There is 2 ways to delete system32
1. CMD
2. Windows updates
Funny how windows guys don't know shit about their systems. It's like a magic box to them.
Ahh yes, deleting system 32. Big brain move. Now for a non PC user, what does that do exactly?! 🤔 Commenting for the algorithm
If you do this Santa will come early and bring you a 4090

Where is thiojoe credit
Quicker to just skip this step and format the drive to linux.
I've never deleted System32, but i have deleted those pesky…I want to say runtime files? The ones you can see in Control Panel (at least on Vista).
