The definitive guide to modern Windows internals: new coverage of
virtualization, file systems, boot, security, and more.
For advanced computing professionals, this is the definitive up-to-date guide
to how Windows core components behave “under the hood.” Using it, experienced
developers can build more powerful and scalable software, administrators can
debug complex system and performance problems, and security researchers can
harden their systems. This Seventh Edition is fully updated through the May
2021 (21H1/2104) updates to Windows 10 and Windows Server (2022, 2019, and
2016). It adds extensive content on Hyper-V, plus fully rewritten chapters on
the boot process, new storage technologies, and Windows system and management
mechanisms. As always, it delivers unparalleled insight based on insider
access to Microsoft source code, with hands-on experiments using the latest
debugging tools to show you Windows’ internal behaviors firsthand. With
Windows 11 introducing new user interface design elements that build upon the
same core technologies as Windows 10, readers will be well-prepared for this
new chapter of computing.
