Windows 8 build 8423 is a build of Windows 8, which was uploaded to BetaArchive on 16 January 2019. It is only available under the Croatian language for the x86 architecture. It is the last available build to include the Windows Aero visual style and the overlapping 8 default wallpaper.

Crash on startup
In VMware, this build can sometimes crash on startup with a  bugcheck. Restarting will fix the problem.

Translation
The second stage of setup was completely left untranslated/in English.

HAL
Common to most leaked Windows 8 builds, this build can still boot successfully, on most hardware Windows would otherwise no longer be able to boot on, without the  file being present. This is in contrast to officially released builds of Windows 8, as well as builds of other Windows versions, which can no longer boot without the file being present, on the same hardware.
