Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
General[edit | edit source]
- When logging in after completing OOBE, Windows will immediately restart the system before the desktop is shown to the user.
- If using VMware Workstation versions 15.x or above changes in build 7878, attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock. To fix this, use the Power menu from the VM section, or set the compatibility version to 14.x or lower.
Aero[edit | edit source]
Only the top portion of the window frame is blurred when using the Windows Aero theme, leaving the side borders transparent.
System Reserved partition[edit | edit source]
The System Reserved partition (commonly set as the D drive) is shown in Explorer.
Windows Preinstallation Environment[edit | edit source]
The ISO image of this build is packed with the Windows Preinstallation Environment from the Windows 7 RTM build.
Internet Explorer[edit | edit source]
The text has black boxes around them on some graphics card drivers.
Setup[edit | edit source]
Before restarting the second time, the startup sound is played.
Redlock functionality[edit | edit source]
Start menu can't be opened during a Remote Desktop connection.
