Changes[edit | edit source]
Branding[edit | edit source]

- Most of the Windows Vista references have been replaced with new ones like the texture in the Getting Started page and the Desktop Gadgets executable icon.

- Several UI elements, such as the playback buttons, have been updated.
Control Panel[edit | edit source]
- The sidebar design of Control Panel has been uplifted, now closely resembling that of the RTM.
- The "All Control Panel Items" link has been replaced with the "View by" drop-down.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

Bugs[edit | edit source]
- On VMware, if Windows Media Center is opened, this build can hang after the intro. At this time, you are not able to reach the security options by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, the Start menu by pressing the ⊞ Win key and to use either Alt+Tab ↹ or ⊞ Win+Tab ↹ to get out of Windows Media Center, so the only option is a hard reset.
- When logging off, shutting down or restarting,
explorer.execan hang atPlaying logoff sound.... Just click on "Force shutdown", "Force restart" or "Force logoff" and then on "Yes". Alternatively, you can disable both logoff and shutdown sounds in the Sound properties.
