New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Windows Setup[edit | edit source]

Localization strings in the modernized Windows Setup user interface have been adjusted to remove most of the informality introduced within build 8040.

User interface[edit | edit source]

Background image set[edit | edit source]

A new set of desktop and lock screen wallpapers intended for the upcoming Milestone 3 release have been added.

User accounts[edit | edit source]

The background color of the default account image has been changed to a light green.

User Account Control[edit | edit source]

Invoking an application that requires User Account Control elevation will now hide the entire user interface as a privacy measure. The user's set wallpaper is instead displayed as the cloaked background.

Task Manager[edit | edit source]

Minor localization changes have been implemented. The Applications tab has been renamed to Processes, whereas the Processes tab has been renamed to Details.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

The startup sound is now disabled if build is redpilled.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

Windows OS Loader[edit | edit source]

The boot loader may crash on itself before it jumps to the OS kernel entry point in rare occasions.

Windows Search Indexer[edit | edit source]

Attempting to change what file types the Search Indexer should parse will cause the Search Control Panel applet to crash.
