Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

Compatibility[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.

Branding[edit | edit source]

Alpha support for branding banner images has not yet been fully implemented at this point in development, resulting in unreadable banner images across all editions.

App tiles[edit | edit source]

Some app names (such as Control Panel, Chess Titans, Defragment and Optimize Drives, etc) may be truncated by normal sized tiles.

Metro UI[edit | edit source]

Changing the screen resolution when this build is redpilled may result in visual artifacts presenting themselves across the Metro user interface; these can be resolved by restarting Explorer.

Password bug on Metro login[edit | edit source]

When using the password reveal feature on the Metro login screen, the text appears scrambled, consisting of a mixture of letters and symbols from various languages such as Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

Creating account when redpilled[edit | edit source]

When creating an account when the build is redpilled, it asks for a Windows Live ID account. You can put any account or gibberish with @anything.com for example without errors but you have to put a password, meaning that the account won't be used thanks to the password bug.

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.

PDF Reader[edit | edit source]

The PDF Reader (glcnd.exe) in this build is named "WinRT UI Window" and cannot be closed using the Close button on the program. To close it, use the taskbar or press Alt+F4.
