'''Validation OS''' or '''WinVOS''' is a minimal [[Windows 11]]-based environment intended to be used by Windows device manufacturers during early design stages.<ref>[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/validation-os-overview Microsoft Validation OS overview], ''Microsoft Learn''. 30 May 2022.</ref> Compared to a regular copy of Windows PE, 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, such as the window caption buttons, do not fully render or behave as expected due to the removed components.
