About dialog

Windows 8 build 7905 is a build of Windows 8, which was shared on 20 October 2024. It is the last known build to use the Milestone 1 wallpaper, and the last known client build since 7865 to have the quirk of using Arial instead of Segoe UI on the title bars and watermark, as build 7908 fixes this quirk.

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.

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.
