Greetings everyone on my 'survival' under Windows Server without Explorer<\/h4>\n

\nToday, I will test regular programs for an unusual Windows.<\/p>\n

I'll start from the beginning<\/h3>\n

\nWhen the computer starts, the standard Windows loading screen appears, but after loading, what opens is not the desktop, but the command line and nothing else.
\n<\/a><\/noindex>
\n\"Using
\n<\/p>\n

Downloading files from the internet via the command line<\/h3>\n

\nSince I don't know any other ways to download files after a clean installation that an ordinary user would use (besides connecting a second hard drive with another system), I used the built-in utility bitsadmin.exe <\/p>\n

First, let's create a folder where we will download the files <\/p>\n

md c:download<\/code><\/pre>\n
\nThen I uploaded the files I need to my site.<\/p>\n
For example, let\u2019s install an alternative to the standard Explorer \u2014 Explorer++<\/p>\n
bitsadmin.exe \/transfer \"Download\" https:\/\/\u043c\u043e\u0439_\u0441\u0430\u0439\u0442\/files\/Explorer++.exe C:downloadExplorer++.exe<\/code><\/pre>\n
\nDownloading process:<\/p>\n
\"Using
\n
\nDownload completed:<\/p>\n
\"Using
\n
\nRecalling the days of MS-DOS, let\u2019s type Explorer++.exe<\/code> into the command line.
\nThe Explorer++ I downloaded opens<\/p>\n
\"Using
\n
\nI also tried to launch the standard Explorer, extracted from my system, but it refused to work, although I begged it very much. Through Powershell, you can install not only the standard Explorer but also MMC, Eventvwr, PerfMon, Resmon, and Powershell ISE, but all this will consume resources and does not fit into the theme of the publication.<\/p>\n
\"Using
\n<\/p>\n
Software tests<\/h3>\n
\nFirst, let's stop using the command line for downloading files and replace it with Internet Download Manager.<\/p>\n
As a file manager, I use explorer++, but you can download any other; this one just happened to be handy.<\/p>\n
I installed the archiver 7zip, and it also worked without any issues. 
\nFirefox did not install for me, so I chose Chromium Portable. Since we can't download files through the browser, we will continue to use Internet Download Manager.
\nVLC media player started up fine
\nqBittorrent also had no issues during the launch
\nThunderbird gives the same error as Firefox
\nI will talk about office software a bit later.<\/p>\n
Checkers [\u0428\u0430\u0448\u043a\u0438] (Lukasz Oktaba)<\/h3>\n
\nUnfortunately, it's not possible to play modern games through Steam. When starting, the client crashes with an error.<\/p>\n
\"Using
\n<\/p>\n
Office software<\/h3>\n
\nMicrosoft Office does not fit within the resource consumption limits. And LibreOffice did not start, which is very disappointing.<\/p>\n
The web version of Microsoft Office works through the browser, allowing you to edit documents, but saving them to your local machine is not possible. I haven't tested Google Docs, but I believe it will work as well.<\/p>\n
Final<\/h3>\n
\nUsing Windows Server without File Explorer as a 'desktop' makes no sense. If resources are tight, it's better to choose one of the lightweight Linux distributions.<\/p>\n
In this publication, I presented an example of what I thought to test; this is not a tutorial but entertaining content. Thank you for reading.<\/p>\n
