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 uses the Arial font due to a typo in the aero.msstyles and aerolite.msstyles files.
  • 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.
