 * Task Scheduler from Control Panel shows a nameless folder and generic folder icon.
 * Phone and Modem Options Control Panel applet name is empty.
 * Enabling VGA Mode is required after installing video drivers or the system will initiate a BSOD with a error code 0x000000B4.

Installation

 * As typical of builds in this build range, it tends to take a long time to install and can be unstable.


 * Partition and format a drive from a previous or later build prior to starting installation.

No mouse driver in WinPE
On some computers and virtualizers, the WinPE doesn't support the mouse, so you must use the keyboard to navigate the WinPE. This seems to be related to using a PS/2 mouse, as USB mice seems to work fine for the setup.
