Workaround to bypass Reduced Functionality Mode to get back full access of Vista system and access Windows Vista desktop

Windows Vista in Reduced Functionality Mode has no start menu, no desktop icons, no taskbar and the desktop background is changed to black. Only the default Web browser is launched with Microsoft Licensing website auto loading in the browser, although you can still browse the Internet. After one hour, the system will log the user out without warning. Even Ctrl + Alt + Delete and Ctrl + Shift + Escape key sequences don’t work.

Pretty annoying, especially if you still unable to get your Windows Vista activated but has some urgent things to do. Here is how you can crack the Reduced Functionality Mode so that Windows Vista will return to normal state, and thus exit from RFM, by rearm Windows by opening elevated command prompt:

1. Type the following in the address bar of Internet Explorer:file://c:
2. You will be shown Windows Explorer. Browse or navigate to \Windows\System32 folder.
3. Find cmd.exe file.
4. Right click on cmd.exe and select “Run as Administrator”. If UAC prompts for confirmation, click OK.
5. Then, rearm Windows Vista if you never rearm or reset Windows Vista activation grace period for maximum of 3 times. You may also interest in how to stop the activation countdown timer to continue running.
6. You may want to uninstall KB929391 if you go into RFM due to validation.

Here are a few more ways you can do to crack the Reduced Functionality Mode to gain almost full access to the Windows Vista in FRM, including get back your normal desktop, taskbar, Start Menu and etc, everytime you restart PC or logon:

Method 1

Type in “C:\Windows\explorer.exe” (without quotes) in Internet Explorer 7 Address Bar. The explorer.exe will reload. Explorer.exe is the Windows Program Manager or Windows Explorer or user shell which manages the Windows Graphical Shell including the Start menu, taskbar, desktop, and File Manager. Once it’s restart back, the desktop, start menu and icons will be restored. Click on Execute or Run when prompted with new window.

Method 2

Same as above, but slightly longer step, wrote here for reference purpose.

1. In the Internet Explorer, key in the following text in the Address Bar, and then press Enter or click on green Go button to start the Windows Explorer:C:\

   or

   file://c:

2. Click on “Allow” button when Internet Explorer prompts a dialog asking if you’d like to allow Windows Explorer to run.
3. Navigate or browse to C:\Windows\System32 folder.
4. Double click on Taskmgr.exe to launch Task Manager manually as the keyboard shortcuts don’t work.
5. In Task Manager, click on Processes tab.
6. Select and highlight explorer.exe process.
7. Restart explorer.exe process by clicking on “File” and then select “New Task (Run…)”.
8. Windows Explorer will start itself all over again, with the exception that this time it will load your desktop, Start Menu, taskbar and other functions except premium features.

Note: If your session closes, do not close the activation window.

Even after you restore the desktop, taskbar and Start menu, you may still facing problem when accessing Control Panel. When you open Control Panel, it will show up as a blank page. The hack to show Control Panel in RFM is as below. You need to recover Vista desktop first before you can do it:

1. Open “Computer”.
2. Click on “Uninstall or change a program” to load “Programs and Features”.
3. Next click on “Control Panel”’ in the address bar’s breadcrumb.
4. Control Panel will display with full access.

Note: The premium features include Windows Aero Glass (you will has only Windows Vista Basic theme as user interface if you hack into Windows in RFM) and Windows Media Center. Beside, the limitation on 1-hour maximum usage time still apply, so you can only use the Vista computer for 1 hour before your active session expires and system logs off automatically without warning message. Beside, there may be another limitation that you can only open and run 3 applications or programs simultaneously at any one time.
