Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
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.
