Windows 8 build 8032

Windows 8 build 8032 is a Developer Preview build of Windows 8. The screenshots were known to be from BA user Pwned, who posted them on PCBeta. There was a discussion on OSBetaArchive.net about this build on 2016-04-05 by a user named intelsystembridge. On 2018-12-27, users of BetaWorld found the build and leaked it the next day, which was then uploaded on BetaArchive on 2019-01-04. This build is one of the first to fix the issue with window borders not displaying correctly whilst Desktop Window Manager is enabled. It is also the last known build to use Windows 7 branding during installation. This is also currently the earliest known leaked build to call itself “Windows Developer Preview”.

Redpill
A version of Redlock was released on 2020-01-29, unlocking all redpill levels on this build, including the start screen. Some changes have occurred with Metro since build 8014. The Metro Control Panel now has a Personalization section, where the user can change the accent colors and patterns, as well as the lock screen background. While the general design by this point is much closer to 8056, some elements, such as the bigger size of the live tiles, the gradient effect on the Start screen, and some of the icons, resemble 8014.

USB 3.0
This build appears to have a broken XHCI driver, and therefore will BSOD during setup if USB 3.0 is enabled. Disabling USB 3.0 for the VM (or from BIOS, on real hardware) should fix this problem.
