{{short description|Process by which several Microsoft Windows operating systems initialize}}
The '''booting process of Windows NT''' is the process run to start [[Windows NT]]. The process has been changed between releases, with the biggest changes being made with [[Windows Vista]]. In versions before Vista, the booting process begins when the [[BIOS]] loads the Windows NT [[bootloader]], [[NTLDR]]. Starting with Vista, the booting process begins with either the [[BIOS]] or [[UEFI]] load the [[Windows Boot Manager]], which replaces NTLDR as the bootloader. Next, the bootloader starts the [[ntoskrnl.exe|kernel]], which starts the [[Session Manager Subsystem|session manager]], which begins the [[Winlogon|login process]]. Once the user is logged in, [[File Explorer]], the [[graphical user interface]] used by [[Windows NT]], is started.color a
