An advanced map of Windows beneath the desktop
Windows Internals, Part 2 examines the core mechanisms behind modern Windows behavior, with coverage updated through the May 2021 Windows 10 and Windows Server releases. Its technical scope spans processor execution, drivers and application services, virtualization and virtualization-based security, system configuration, diagnostics, storage, and boot processes. The seventh edition substantially expands its Hyper-V material and revises sections on startup, storage technologies, and system-management mechanisms. Hands-on experiments with debugging tools accompany discussions of components such as the Registry, WMI, ETW, NTFS, ReFS, Secure Boot, and the cache manager, grounding the material in system-level investigation and troubleshooting.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Experienced Windows developers and software architects
- System administrators and support professionals investigating complex performance or system issues
- Security practitioners and researchers studying Windows virtualization, boot, and OS protections

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.
