Windows 8 build 8186 (fbl core1 soc)

Windows 8 build 8186 (fbl_core1_soc) is a build of Windows 8, the full build of which was uploaded to the Chinese website BetaWorld on 19 June 2023.https://www.betaworld.cn/Windows_RT:6.2.8186.0.fbl_core1_soc.120118-1700 Five screenshots of it were uploaded to the website BetaUnleaked on 6 August 2023.betaunleaked. Windows RT 8186, BetaUnleaked. 6 August 2023. Archived from the original on 29 July 2024. The Recovery Environment of this build was then shared on 3 September 2024. The full build was later shared on 22 October 2024.
== Installation ==
==New features and changes==
=== User interface ===
==== Metro shell ====
New animations in elements such as the Start screen and Charms bar have been implemented within the Metro shell. Icons in the Charms bar have been updated to utilize the designs observed within the final release, the sole exception being the Windows flag (later reverse-integrated from shell branches into build 8250). Additionally, the Windows flag now utilizes a monochrome color scheme when the Charms bar is not fully focused.
The ability to remove all recent application history has been added to the Settings application.
==== Taskbar ====
Main article: Windows 8 § Criticism and controversy
The Start button has been removed from the taskbar, and was replaced by a hot corner showing the user's current Start screen layout. This design decision would later spark controversy surrounding the removal of the button in the lead-up to Windows 8's release. The icon for the Taskbar Properties dialog has been similarly updated to omit the start button, in light of the aforementioned change.
==== Start screen ====
New Start screen patterns were added featuring an aquatic theme (itself an internal developer joke on the operating system having just reached the Beta milestone, previously done in the preceding operating system with build 7000).
==== Branding ====
In preparation for the then-upcoming Consumer Preview release, all references to the term Windows 8 Beta have been replaced with Windows 8 Consumer Preview across various branding resources. The default wallpaper was changed to a preliminary version of the one from the official Consumer Preview build, with the fish being horizontally flipped compared to said build.
==== Windows Aero ====
The Windows Aero visual style has been updated to utilize lighter drop shadow effects for active windows.
=== User accounts ===
The default user account profile image has been updated to utilize the final RTM design that depicts a simplified design of an individual, dropping the older complex silhouette design of sourced from the Albuquerque, New Mexico police department.
