The
Windows OS
What is it?
Microsoft used the name Windows for an operating
environment extension to the primitive MS-DOS, which
was a successful OS on early computers.

Windows separates core OS software from the
application-oriented software. The core OS software
running in kernel-mode includes the Windows
Executive, Windows Kernel, device drivers, and
hardware abstraction layer.

Windows is structured to provide support using a
common set of kernel-mode components that lie
02 beneath the OS environment subsystem.

The
Windows OS
What is it?
Windows has highly modular architecture, where in
each system function is managed by one component
of OS. By principle, any module can be removed,
upgraded, or replaced without rewriting the entire
system or its standard APIs

Advanced local procedure call
(ALPC) facility
What is it?
Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) is a message-
passing mechanism. A globally visible connection-port
object is published by the server process.
When a client wants services from a subsystem or
service, it opens a handle to the server’s connection-port
object and sends a connection request to the port. A
channel is created by the server and returns a handle to
the client.

Windows
Kernel
The heart of the OS
The Microsoft Windows kernel provides basic
low-level operations such as scheduling
threads or routing hardware interrupts. It is the
core of the operating system and all tasks it
performs must be fast and simple. It controls
the execution of the processors.
