Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

General[edit | edit source]

  • 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. This bug persists until build 8008.

Timebomb[edit | edit source]

  • The timebomb is not set on first boot, resulting in winver not displaying the expiration date. A reboot will fix this issue.

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.

Setup[edit | edit source]

  • At the end of the second stage of clean setup and the third and fourth stages of upgrade setup, as well as the final stage of redpilling, the startup sound plays, but will get cut after ¾ due to the following restart of the computer.

Settings[edit | edit source]

  • The Devices tab may have a chance of crashing the Immersive Control Panel.

Charms bar[edit | edit source]

  • Some options in the charms bar may not work and instead will show a white square in the bottom left corner of the screen usually occupying the start button.
