New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

Installation on VMware[edit | edit source]

To install or run this build in VMware Workstation, the hardware compatibility version must be set to versions 8.x/9.x; otherwise, a bugcheck will occur.

Start screen[edit | edit source]

Similar to builds 7985, 7989, and 7997, it is possible to uninstall the desktop from the Start screen.
Just like the latter build, Desktop is referred to as Desktop.lnk on the Start screen.
The Start screen may appear to be empty at first. Logging out and logging back in should fix the issue.
The tiles on the start screen tend to flash upon interaction and may not launch properly upon clicking.

Aero Glass in Starter and Home Basic[edit | edit source]

This build automatically enables Aero Glass transparency after installing the Starter and Home Basic SKUs, despite product policies limiting usage of such effects. Changing the current visual style over to a different one (e.g.: Windows Basic) will disable glass effects.

General[edit | edit source]

Attempting to restart or shutdown in this build will cause a softlock on VMware Workstation versions 15.x and newer releases. It is generally recommended to force an ACPI shutdown by powering off or resetting the virtual machine from the Power drop-down menu.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

The boot screen has rendering issues when starting setup, showing both the loading files and boot screen at once.
Windows Explorer is relatively unstable and is prone to crashing.
If running certain immersive applications on the desktop, a transitioning animation will play for whatever reason, albeit it won't actually transition between applications.
When attempting to apply an image as a wallpaper, it will not work, despite the selected image as wallpaper showing up in the Unsaved theme.
