Windows Longhorn build 4053

Windows Longhorn build 4053 is a Milestone 7 build of the Microsoft Windows "Longhorn" operating system. This build is reported to have leaked on 1 March 2004. Overall, this build is very similar to build 4051, but with networking bugs patched.

Bugs and quirks

 * If Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer stops responding, the classic title bar may be seen.

Control Panel

 * The normal method of creating user accounts does not work in this build. However, accounts can still be created by going to run and typing in, or you can port   from another build to replace the one in the   directory in order to get it to work. Alternatively, the Local Users and Groups MMC snap-in can be used.

Start Menu
The most frequently used items list of the Start menu resets itself after every reboot.

Notifications
Notifications tend to re-appear quite a lot. Fully closing the notifications may take several attempts.

Upgrade
After the first reboot when upgrading from Build 4033, an  error will appear, clicking "OK" will cause the machine to restart. After restarting, setup will continue normally until another reboot takes place, in which  will appear. Clicking OK will restart the computer and on some machines, there will be no mouse and keyboard support, and the only workaround is to reinstall Windows.

Setup
Setup is mostly similar to previous builds of Longhorn. You can also upgrade to this build from previous builds too.
