New features and changes[edit | edit source]
Interface[edit | edit source]
The Windows Aero visual style has also been changed slightly and now features smaller caption buttons in certain dialogs.
Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
- The ReFS file system (codenamed Protogon) has been introduced in this build.
Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
- This build uses the Arial font for the title bar and watermark instead of Segoe UI as a result of mistyping in the
aero.msstyles
andaerolite.msstyles
files. This quirk persisted until build 7899.
