'''Windows Validation OS''' (or '''WinVOS''') is a minimal [[Windows 11]]-based environment intended to be used by Windows device manufacturers as an aid during early design stages. It is similar to [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]] in that it runs from a RAM disk and boots into a Command Prompt, although it is considerably more stripped down, leaving the bare essentials needed to bring up the Windows GUI and console.

It is similar to [[Windows Preinstallation Environment]] in that it runs from a RAM disk and boots into a Command Prompt, although it is considerably more stripped down, leaving the bare essentials needed to bring up the Windows GUI and console. As a side effect of this, various user experience areas do not fully behave as expected due to the components that have been removed.
 
== Bugs and quirks ==
* Because of the absence of visual styles, this version uses the [[Windows Classic]] theme. The theme itself is buggy and the buttons are displayed in weird number and text on the Lucida Console font due to the absence of most fonts.
* Pressing {{key press|⊞ Win|L}} will cause the system to be stuck in a black screen due to the absence of LogonUI.
