Windows 8 build 7962 (fbl srv wdacxml)

Windows 8 build 7962 is a build of Windows 8, which was uploaded to BetaArchive on 22 January 2020.

Redpill
Redpill in this build is not that much different from build 7955, but the color of the clock on the Start screen has been changed from black to white, like in the older build 7963. Also, most of the placeholder icons in the Explorer ribbon have been replaced with the final ones.

Changes

 * After the first reboot when upgrading to this build, the system will boot into setup with the text.

Aero

 * This build appears to have a slightly broken Windows Aero theme, with only the top portion of the window frame using the blur effect, leaving the side borders transparent.

System Reserved partition

 * The System Reserved partition (commonly set as the D drive) is shown in Explorer.

Upgrading

 * When logging in after completing OOBE, Windows will immediately restart the system before the desktop is shown to the user.
