Bugs[edit | edit source]

BIOS support[edit | edit source]

This build will only work on real hardware utilizing BIOS, unlike VMware which gives a CPU fault. On VMware, the user will need to use UEFI firmware.

Window thumbnail border color[edit | edit source]

If window auto-colorization is enabled, the window thumbnail borders on the taskbar do not change color even after the wallpaper changes. This issue can be remedied by manually changing the window color through the Control Panel or restarting Windows.
