Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
Installation[edit | edit source]
- The background seen in the Windows Preinstallation Environment is absent in this build.
DWM and Aero[edit | edit source]
- The Windows Basic and the High Contrast themes do not properly render due to the enforcement of the DWM Aero theme.
- Only the top portion of the window frame is blurred when using the Windows Aero theme, leaving the side borders transparent.
- Aero might not work even after installing compatible drivers. To fix this, run a Windows Experience Index check.
Help and Support Center[edit | edit source]
Help and Support Center is beginning to be reworked, so attempting to navigate to certain pages will lead to either an error or a message informing the user about a reconstruction to appear. The page redirects the user to online help hosted on the official Windows website while advising Microsoft employees to not file bugs about the current state of the application.
Start screen[edit | edit source]
- The Start button on the taskbar still opens the old Start menu. The Start screen can only be opened using either the Windows key or Ctrl+Esc.
- As a result of this, it's possible to have both the Start screen and Start menu open at the same time.
- The Start screen doesn't resize itself when the user changes the resolution.
- The Start screen shows up in Flip 3D at all times, and in the task switcher if the user has it open.
- The tiles will have random positions and sizes.
Windows Explorer[edit | edit source]
When Redpilled, the Ribbon always shows Network, Computer and HomeGroup tabs, even when none of the corresponding folder is opened in the window.
USB 3[edit | edit source]
Trying to boot this build with an USB 3 controller will cause it to hang on boot. It needs to be disabled in order for the build to boot.
