New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Windows Setup[edit | edit source]

When starting setup, the prompt asking the user to press F5 to launch Automated System Recovery has been removed.

Out-of-box experience[edit | edit source]

A new step that checks internet connectivity has been added. It is performed before the user is asked if the computer connects directly to the internet or through a local-area or home network.

User interface[edit | edit source]

Continuing on with the evolution of Luna with build 2430, most aspects of the user interface were updated to include a more finalized design. As such, the drop shadow effect used on the window title text is now less noticeable compared to the previously mentioned build, with a shadow also being added onto the start button.

The scroll bars have been updated to their final design. This design features 4 lines instead of 5, with the colors of the bar itself being updated to a lighter blue.

The taskbar is now locked by default in order to prevent confusion among new users, with Quick Launch now also being disabled along with it.

Control Panel[edit | edit source]

The background gradient used for the Control Panel category view was replaced with a solid dark blue color. Network Connections and User Accounts have also received new icons.

Windows Explorer[edit | edit source]

The icons used for the Standard Buttons toolbar have been shrunk and updated to resemble the final design. These icons would be later refined in later builds.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

The Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is no longer present in the Personal SKU.
Added the An interrupt storm has caused the system to hang. (0xF2) bugcheck code, which would later be renamed to HARDWARE_INTERRUPT_STORM.
