However, there is a white box behind the computer name text, which now reveals the text being inputted. The color slider has been updated slightly as well, albeit it's still hidden. * When starting setup, the messages "Setup is starting", "Setup is copying temporary files", "Installing Windows" and "Upgrading Windows" are now displayed on the bottom instead of the center. * The second stage is now identical to the boot screen. However, it is similar to [[Windows 8 build 7973 (fbl core1 kernel npc)|build 7973]]'s boot screen. * There are 2 changes to the modern setup client (<code>installprep.exe</code>): ** The background color is now blue with gradients to a more lighter blue on the top and bottom edges. ** The installation stage is now in full screen. ===Power applet=== The charms bar's power applet is now functional, allowing the user to shutdown or restart the computer. ===System repairing utilities=== <code>BootIM</code> has been introduced in this build, which has been made to replace the old WinRE found in [[Windows 7]], mostly consisting of checking the system for any issues or being used as a boot menu. It was made for either dualbooting or system repair, however it isn't finished in this build. There are two ways of running <code>BootIM</code>, assuming that the operating system is redpilled: ====F8 on boot==== Before doing this, a command prompt with administrator permissions must be opened. Once doing so, paste in the following text: <code>bcdedit /set {default} custom:250000c2 1</code>. Once done, reboot the system and instantly press F8 before the boot screen shows up. Once done, hit "Repair your computer". This should take the user to the new WinRE, however the resolution will be set to 800x600, which isn't suitable due to the fact that the new WinRE requires a lot of space. ====Simply typing <code>BootIM</code> in the Run utility==== Basically what the sub-title suggests. Press {{key press|⊞ Win|R}} (or launch Run from the [[Start screen]]), type <code>bootim</code>, and launch the application. ===Reset utility=== The reset utility has been entirely revamped and now uses the Metro design. As with previous builds, it requires the Windows 8 installation media. It also gives information with what will be kept and what will not be kept, rather than supplying options for what you want to keep. ==Bugs and quirks== ===Installation on [[VMware]]=== This build cannot be installed or run on newer versions of [[VMware]]. In order to run it, the user must set the hardware compatibility version to versions 8.x or 9.x, as by default it uses newer hardware compatibility version. This could technically mean that this build does not work on newer hardware compatibility version as it will refuse to boot with a black screen with an error code of either <code>0x0000001E</code> or <code>0x0000000A</code>, and then a CPU fault. === Installation on [[VirtualBox]]=== This build cannot be installed or run on newer versions of [[VirtualBox]]. In order to run it, the user must go to Settings > System > Processor, and then set the Paravirtualization Interface from "Default" to "Legacy", as by default it uses Hyper-V paravirtualization. This could technically mean that this build does not work on Hyper-V as it will refuse to boot with a black screen with an error code of either <code>0x0000001E</code> or <code>0x0000000A</code>. === [[Start menu#Start screen|Start screen]] === * Similar to [[Windows 8 build 7985 (fbl core1 kernel cptx.110419-1745)|builds 7985]], [[Windows 8 build 7989|7989]], and [[Windows 8 build 7997|7997]], it is possible to uninstall the desktop from the Start screen. * Just like [[Windows 8 build 7997|the latter build]], Desktop is referred to as <code>Desktop.lnk</code> on the Start screen. * The Start screen may appear to be empty at first. Logging out and logging back in should fix the issue. * The tiles on the start screen tend to flash upon interaction and may not launch properly upon clicking. === App tiles === Some app names (such as [[Control Panel]], [[Chess Titans]], Defragment and Optimize Drives, etc) may be truncated by normal sized tiles. === Aero Glass in Home Basic === This build automatically enables Aero Glass transparency after installing the Home Basic SKU, despite product not supporting it by default. Changing the current visual style over to a different one (e.g.: [[Aero Lite|Windows Basic]]) will disable glass effects. === General === If using [[VMware]] Workstation versions 15.x or above changes in [[Windows 8 build 7878|build 7878]], attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock. To fix this, use the Power menu from the VM section. This bug persists until the [[Windows 8 build 8008|next build]]. ===Miscellaneous=== *The boot screen has rendering issues when starting setup, showing both the loading files and boot screen at once. *[[File Explorer|Windows Explorer]] is relatively unstable and is prone to crashing. *If running certain immersive applications on the desktop, a transitioning animation will play for whatever reason, albeit it won't actually transition between applications. *When attempting to apply an image as a wallpaper, it will not work, despite the selected image as wallpaper showing up in the Unsaved theme. ==Gallery== ===Setup=== <gallery> 8002-bugscreen.png|Setup boot screen 8002 Setup.png|[[Windows Setup]] 8002 EULA.png|End-user license agreement 8002 Copying Files.png|Installation 8002 OOBE.png|[[Out-of-box experience]] 8002 OOBEImmersive.png|Immersive OOBE </gallery> ===Interface=== <gallery> 7985boot.png|Boot screen 8002grfxdev1-redpilleddesktop.png|Redpilled desktop 8002grfxdev1-redpilledwinver.png|<code>[[winver]]</code> with redpilled [[Aero]] theme 8002 BootRepair.png|BootIM 8002-lockscreen.png|Lock screen 8002-loginscreen.png|Login screen 8002-emptystartscreen.png|Empty [[start screen]] 8002-StartScreen.png|Start screen </gallery> [[Category:Windows 8 builds]]'
