Windows 8 build 8423

Windows 8 build 8423 is a build of Windows 8. This build was leaked on 16 January 2019 only in the Croatian language and is the last build available to include the Windows Aero visual style.

Installation
Turn off all network adapters even if you set the BIOS date for the machine, otherwise after the hardware setup it will automatically adjust to the current time via online time syncing and thus activate the timebomb. This requirement is optional, but not doing this will result in the computer rebooting every two hours.

Crash
This build can sometimes crash on startup with the BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. Restarting will fix the problem. (This mostly happens in VMware.)
