Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
Running in 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/10.x; otherwise, a bugcheck will occur.
OOBE background[edit | edit source]
Like any previous build since 8032, this build's Windows 7 OOBE background is distorted in that the image got squished in monochrome on the left, with a black space being left on the right. This bug was never fixed, as the legacy OOBE was removed with the integration of Redpill features to the main codebase of Windows in build 8128.
