Quirks[edit | edit source]
The build tag string (BuildLabEx) is too long to fit in the About Windows dialog, so it ends up displaying just the build number itself.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
USB 3.0/xHCI[edit | edit source]
This build includes a non-functional xHCI driver and will not boot if USB 3.0 or later is enabled. Disabling USB 3.0 from the VM configuration (or through the physical machine's BIOS/UEFI firmware) will allow the build to boot normally.
Installation[edit | edit source]
The background seen in the Windows Preinstallation Environment is absent in this build.
Windows Media Center[edit | edit source]
Both the text size and text color of the Windows Media Center are abnormal in a few areas.
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.
Windows Recovery Environment[edit | edit source]
Trying to boot into the Recovery Environment from the hard drive results in a black screen.
Wallpaper[edit | edit source]
The wallpaper gets reset to the default wallpaper on every logon.
