About dialog | |
Windows NT 3.1 build 340 is the October 1992 pre-release build of Windows NT 3.1, available in both Workstation and Advanced Server editions. The latter was shared by BetaArchive member The Distractor on 11 March 2017.[1] It is the earliest available build of the Advanced Server version of Windows NT, at the time still called "LAN Manager for Windows NT".
This build is often mislabeled either as build 319.1 or 328.1, which are actually file versions of its kernel files (NTOSKRNL.EXE
and NTKRNLMP.EXE
). NTFS now works in this build.
Around the release of this build, the now well-known error in the processor detection routine appeared, preventing installation on the Pentium Pro and later without modification. It made its way into the final release and persisted into Windows NT 3.5. It was finally fixed around Windows NT 3.51 build 1002. Compared to the RTM, it also affects newer 486 processors that support the CPUID instruction and Pentium processors, making installation only possible on a 386 or an old 486 processor.[2]

New features and changes[edit | edit source]
- This is the first known build to change the desktop background color from gray to teal. This change would later carry over to Windows 95.
- This is the first build to have an option to create an Emergency Repair Diskette, in some places also preliminary named "Emergency Maintenance Diskette". It was already available in build 297, but being grayed out.
- "NT Mode", which refers to the 32-bit protected mode of Windows NT, has been removed from the About box.
- This build adds support for NCR, Ultra and Western Digital SCSI adapters; the S3 graphics adapter[a] and the Novell NE2000 network adapter.
- Time zone configuration has been added to setup.
