The full build was uploaded to [[BetaArchive]] on 16 October 2011.<ref>https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22622&p=270312</ref> Previously, only the Preinstallation Environment of this build was available. This build is componentized, which is typical for this build range, meaning many core features from previous builds have been removed and introduced several bugs. These features were scheduled to be added in subsequent versions of the operating system, leaving what remains the bare minimum to run the system. ==Changes== *The properties of a file are no longer displayed in an Explorer window, but rather in the classic design seen in earlier Windows versions. == Fixes == * The Sounds control panel applet is now present again. * Device Manager is able to install or update drivers again, unlike builds from [[Windows Longhorn build 4081|4081]] to [[Windows Longhorn build 4083|4083]]. ==Bugs and quirks== === Installation === * As typical of builds in this build range, it tends to take a long time to install and can be unstable. * Various commands in WinPE's command prompt such as formatting a drive will not work due to <code>VSSAPI.DLL</code> being missing. ====Upgrade==== Attempting to upgrade from other builds is not possible as one of two outcomes may occur: #A [[Blue screen of death|bugcheck]] with error code 0x7E after the second reboot. This is commonly observed when trying to upgrade from non-componentized builds, such as 4074 (via a registry tweak that reports it as a componentized build). #An error during the file copy phase. ==== WinPE ==== * The mouse driver in this build's WinPE does not function on specific hardware configurations or hypervisors, and may require a keyboard to navigate through the installation procedure. This issue appears to be largely related to using a PS/2 mouse, as most ordinary USB mice appear to function properly in setup. === [[WordPad]] === When opening [[WordPad]], an error with <code>Failed to create empty document</code> will occur. === [[Outlook Express]] === When opening [[Outlook Express]], a registry errors and certain dependencies on [[WinFS]] will occur. === Themes === The [[Windows Classic]] style cannot be applied as there are no color schemes defined in the registry. This can be fixed by using a [https://archive.org/details/classic-theme-fix-for-longhorn-408x-builds registry modification]. === Explorer === * CD and DVD drives behave like local disks. **As a result of this, the system continuously throws out notifications about low disk space. * Help and Support crashes Explorer. *Explorer will crash after adding the display tile in sidebar and won't launch again. A workaround is to create a new account via <code>cmd</code>. *When the [[Windows Aero|Aero]] taskbar and sidebar are enabled, the Taskbar erroneously uses the Sidebar background. === Control Panel === * Hardware and Devices folder does not open. * [[Task Scheduler]] from Control Panel shows a nameless folder and generic folder icon. * By default, the Phone and Modem Options Control Panel applet name is empty. * Computer Management displays script errors due to missing registry entries. === Hardware / Drivers=== This build will randomly access the floppy drive. === Graphics === Enable VGA Mode after installing video drivers or the system will bugcheck with error code <code>0x000000B4</code>. === Windows Product Activation === The Windows Product Activation component is missing due to the componentization. An incomplete rewritten one in .NET-managed code and Avalon would be reintroduced in [[Windows Longhorn build 4093|build 4093]]. === Safe mode === The [[Safe mode]] is completely broken and results in a bugcheck with code <code>0x0000007B</code>. This is because the <code>Safeboot</code> key, located in <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control</code> is largely incomplete and missing a lot of entries. Restoring the key from an earlier build with working safe mode allows this build to boot properly, but the video driver will not initialize properly. As a result, the operating system will freeze as it transitions into graphical mode, so Safe Mode is currently not known to work on these pre-reset Longhorn componentized builds. == Gallery == === [[Windows Setup]] === <gallery> Longhorn4084s1.png|Welcome page Longhorn4084s2.png|Settings before installation Longhorn4084s4.png|Copying files Longhorn4084s3.png|Hardware detection phase </gallery> === Interface === <gallery> Longhorn40424093Boot.png|Boot screen Longhorn4084s8.png|Login screen 4093 BSOD.png|System crash (usually appears after attempting to load Safe Mode) SafeLonghorn.PNG|Safe to shutdown screen </gallery> ==== Themes ==== <gallery> WindowsLonghorn-6.0.4084m7-sstartmenu.png|[[Slate]] theme 4084Jade.png|[[Jade]] theme WindowsLonghorn-6.0.4084m7-jstartmenu.png|Jade theme with Start menu WindowsLonghorn-6.0.4084m7-blstartmenu.png|Blue [[Luna]] theme WindowsLonghorn-6.0.4084m7-oglstartmenu.png|Olive Green Luna theme WindowsLonghorn-6.0.4084m7-slstartmenu.png|Silver Luna theme </gallery> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Windows Longhorn builds]]'
