New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Windows Explorer[edit | edit source]

  • It is no longer possible to ribbonize Windows Explorer without redpilling and only modifying the registry.
  • The ribbon menu has been updated.
    • Many features such as Open new window has been implemented.
    • The Multiple Select option has been removed.
    • The View Template gallery has been removed.
    • The Icon Size option is now shown as in-ribbon gallery.
    • The Preview Pane menu has been split into two separate buttons.
    • In the Home tab, the item label shrinks or the group collapses instead of showing a scroll arrow button if the explorer window's width is not wide enough to show all the items.
    • The paste button has gained its icon.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

  • The startup sound may play in "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" screen.
  • The Desktop Window Manager may crash when switching users.
  • The timebomb is not set on first boot, resulting in winver not displaying the expiration date. A reboot will fix this issue.
  • Only the top portion of the window frame is blurred when using the Windows Aero theme, leaving the side borders transparent.
