Windows Longhorn build 4040

Windows Longhorn build 4040 is a Milestone 6 build of Windows Longhorn and is one of the last builds for that milestone. Grabberslasher first gave the details of this build on his UX.Unleaked blog. On 23 January 2020, this build was listed on a BetaArchive thread by the aforementioned user to be released to its FTP, and was released on 31 January 2020, alongside build 4002 and build 5356. This build is one of the last builds to include the Plex theme, together with the main compile of 4042.

Overall, this build has a very similar feature set to builds 4038 and 4039.

Setup
Although setup altogether is mostly similar to previous builds of Longhorn, the numeral and clock sprites now no longer contain a transparent background.

Features

 * Much of the interface remains similar to that of build 4038 due to Lab04's use of older code, likely from the main lab builds. This can be seen in areas such as File Explorer, where the back, forward, favorite and My Computer icons are identical to build 4038.
 * Related to Lab04's use of older code, the service winux whilst using the  command is not available, leaving you the only choice of logging in and out if renaming Plex to Aero and then enabling DCE.

Installation
Some copies of this build's installation media cannot be booted normally due to a call to a non-existent index in the  by. To install this build in this case, either upgrade from a previous build or use a WinPE from a previous build.

Safe Mode
Safe Mode does not log you on due to the login process change in build 4032, as it will result in. This was later fixed in Windows Longhorn build 4042 (main).
