Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

Desktop Compositing Engine[edit | edit source]

While the Desktop Compositing Engine functions correctly, Direct3D shaders are not enabled due to a bug. As the DCE window frames rely on these shaders to function, it is not possible to enable them in this build.

File Explorer[edit | edit source]

  • Searching and cut/copy-pasting is not functional, as attempting to do so will cause an explorer.exe crash.
  • WinFS is not present. Thus, applications relying on it, such as Outlook Express will crash upon launching.
  • The USB Mass Storage feature is non-functional.
  • The file saving dialog is non-functional.

TCP/IP bug[edit | edit source]

The TCP/IP stack is very unstable and can often crash.

Windows Product Activation[edit | edit source]

Windows Product Activation is missing.
