Frequently asked questions
- What does the fake Windows 11 update screen look like?
- It recreates the black Windows 11 update screen with spinning dots and a percentage that slowly creeps up, shown in full screen so it looks like the real thing.
- Will it actually update or lock my computer?
- No. It is just a web page; nothing is installed, updated or locked. Press Esc or click to return to your desktop.
- Does it work on a Mac?
- Yes. Any modern browser on macOS, Windows, Linux or ChromeOS can show it in full screen — it just looks like Windows.
