Hi folks
There was a trick in XP and W7 that you could allow somehow up to 4 concurrent users on Windows -- as a sort of "Mini-Server". Is there any "Registry hack" or similar in W11.

I know it's "Unofficial" --that's why Windows Server systems exist but it's been done for previous Windows versions.

Anybody ???

Maybe @Edwin who usually finds novel ways of doing things with Windows.

4 separate VM's is overkill but 4 concurrent Sandboxes would be acceptable. -- and I know one can run 180 days extendable 5 times) Evaluation 2022 Server (great product BTW) but Im interested in this just "to see if it can be done". !! (And its Apr 2nd today so not an Apr impossible task request).

Thanks

Cheers
jimbo

By concurrent do you mean 4 separate, individual OS instances, in effect 4 virtual machines, or do you mean 4 users using the same OS instance as in 4 people accessing the same database schema?

Thanks for the link -- the "Hex edit" works for W10 but there isn't a code for "The Birdie" / Canary release.
The Git hub MSI version of rdp wrapper gives a Windows Defender popup of "This program contains malware" if you try and download it --although download can still be done. Not willing to try that --but works on W10 with the Hex edit.
