## Steps to Boot the Computer and Start Windows (2 of 5) - Windows Boot Loader (winload.exe) is responsible for loading Windows components. - The kernel (Ntoskrnl.exe) does the following: - Activates the HAL, reads more information from the registry, and builds into memory the registry key `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE`. - Starts critical services and drivers that are configured to be started by the kernel. - After the kernel starts all services and drivers, it starts the Session Manager (Smss.exe), which runs in user mode. - The Session Manager (Smss.exe) loads the graphical interface and starts the client/server run-time subsystem (csrss.exe). - Smss.exe starts the Logon Manager (winlogon.exe) and reads and executes other commands stored in the registry.
