Windows Longhorn build 4081

Windows Longhorn build 4081 is a Milestone 7 build of Windows Longhorn. On 23 January 2020, this build was listed in a BetaArchive thread by UX.Unleaked blog founder Grabberslasher. This build was released on 27 January 2020 in the fourth set of his 33 Longhorn/Vista builds along with build 5098.

This build is the first componentized build of Longhorn, meaning many core features from previous builds have been removed. These features were scheduled to be added in subsequent versions of the operating system, leaving what remains the bare minimum to run the system. While more stable than the later componentized builds, installation takes significantly longer than previous builds.

Bugs

 * Hardware and Devices folder does not open.
 * Sounds Control Panel applet is missing.
 * Task Scheduler from Control Panel shows a nameless folder and generic folder icon.
 * Phone and Modem Options Control Panel applet name is empty.
 * Although the Desktop Window Manager is present and can be activated by pressing Ctrl + Shift + F9 as in Windows Server 2008 build 4066, it will black screen due to a broken DirectX installation. It can fixed via the instructions listed on the Windows Aero page.

 * WordPad and Outlook Express won't start due to bugs.
 * Help and Support results in an  reset.
 * Computer Management displays script errors.
