== Bugs and quirks ==
=== General ===
* Users updating from builds 22000.xxx or earlier, to newer Nickel builds using the latest Nickel .ISO, may receive the following warning message:
The build you are trying to install is Flight Signed. To continue installing, enable flight signing.
Press "Enable" button to enable flight signing, reboot the PC, and retry the update. 
* Some users may experience their screen and sleep timeouts being reduced.
=== Start ===
In some cases, users might be unable to enter text when using Search from Start or the Taskbar. To work around the issue, press to launch the Run dialog box, then close it.
=== Taskbar ===
* The Taskbar will sometimes flicker when switching input methods.
* Notification Center may get in a state where it doesn't launch in recent Nickel builds. Restarting explorer.exe may fix this issue.
=== Search ===
* After clicking the Search icon on the Taskbar, the Search panel may not open. If this occurs, restart the "Windows Explorer" process, and open the search panel again.
* Search panel might appear as black and not display any content below the search box.
=== Widgets ===
* The widgets board may appear empty. To work around the issue, sign out and then sign back in again.
* Widgets may be displayed in the wrong size on external monitors. To work around the issue, launch the widgets via touch or shortcut on the primary monitor, and then launch on secondary monitors.
