Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
General[edit | edit source]
- Shutdown or restart will cause a softlock when running this build in VMware Workstation 15 or newer. This can be worked around by using the host's Power menu.
Setup[edit | edit source]
- The last word of status messages shown when starting Setup and before the computer reboots into OOBE is cut off.
Shell[edit | edit source]
- The Start screen may be unresponsive for a minute after login.
- The Desktop tile will show the Windows 7 default wallpaper after first logging in.
Themes[edit | edit source]
- The title bar and watermark use the Arial font due to a typo in the
aero.msstylesandaerolite.msstylesfiles. - Only the top portion of the window frame is blurred when using the Windows Aero theme, leaving the side borders transparent.
- The Windows Basic and the High Contrast themes do not render properly due to the enforcement of the DWM Aero theme.
