Windows Server 2012 build 7788

Windows Server 2012 build 7788 is a build of Windows Server 2012. It was shared onto the BetaWiki Discord server on 24 June 2022. It is the earliest available build to include the Redpill feature locking mechanism and a confidential build warning in the watermark.

Due to its earliness, this build identifies itself as its predecessor in many areas and still bears the 6.1 kernel version, much like builds 7700 and 7850.

Changes

 * The title bars use a blueish gradient similar to what is seen in Windows 98, as opposed to Windows Server 2008 R2 which uses gradients found in Windows 2000 by default.
 * Changed the default desktop background color to the one used in Windows Server 2008.
 * Added the Microsoft Confidential disclaimer to the desktop and.

Bugs

 * This build includes a non-functional XHCI driver and will not boot if USB 3.0 is enabled. Disabling USB 3.0 from the VM configuration (or through the physical machine's BIOS/EFI firmware) will allow the build to boot normally.
