Windows 8 build 7814 is a build of Windows 8, which was uploaded on 30 September 2021. Prior to being shared, a screenshot was included with the original upload of build 7746 on 3 May 2020.
Due to its earliness, many areas still say "Windows 7" and the kernel version is still 6.1 (much like builds that predate 7865).

General[edit | edit source]
- Certificates and digital signatures that recognize SHA-256 have been added.
- The Genuine Center applet has been added in Control Panel.
Aero[edit | edit source]
- The title bar text is now centered on maximized windows, even if DWM is disabled.
- DWM now launches on the OOBE, allowing Windows Aero to work in the OOBE screen (a compatible WDDM driver is still required for Windows Aero to work).
Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
Installation[edit | edit source]
- This build has trouble booting setup with a SATA DVD drive. It is recommended to boot from the installation media using an IDE or SCSI DVD drive.
- The background seen in the Windows Preinstallation Environment is absent in this build.
- Upgrading to this build will cause the post-installation screen having no progress bar.
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.
- The Aero functionalities do not work on modern versions of VMware Workstation and above due to changes that are incompatible with the graphics stack. Using either VirtualBox or VMware with the 9.x hardware compatibility or older and using 9.x drivers or older is recommended.
- Only the top portion of the window frame is blurred when using the Windows Aero theme, leaving the side borders transparent.
Internet Explorer[edit | edit source]
Like earlier builds, the Internet Explorer engine is unstable and may crash when accessing HTML5 websites.
