Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn't have admin access.

That screen didn't exist in Win XP. If it had, it would have been a different shade of blue. This is either Win10 though I suspect it's Win11.

The event I'm referring to wasn't OP's photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.
