Windows 8 build 8432 (fbl loc)

Windows 8 build 8432 (fbl_loc) is a build of Windows 8. It is notable for being the first available build to remove the glass effects featured in the Windows Aero visual style in favor of a flat and simplistic design within the user interface, and the last to feature the Desktop Gadget Gallery before it was removed due to security risks. Additionally, the Aero Lite theme (also known as Windows Basic) is now hidden by default; it is only accessible through normal means by enabling the High Contrast themes.

History
The build was originally uploaded to BetaArchive on 3 January 2019 under the British English and Simplified Chinese languages. Since then, additional variants of this build under various languages have been uploaded, including US English.

Applications
Many Windows applications will result in an "Unknown Publisher" warning when opening.

Localization
During the hardware portion and the final part of OOBE, the entire text in the British English language appears as US English pseudo-localized for unknown reasons. This quirk was fixed in the RTM.
