== Bugs and quirks ==
=== Localization ===
* The Start screen tiles are not translated in the German language pack.
* Some parts of the OS such as boot screen and winver use pseudo-localized strings.
* The Korean language pack is partially corrupt and therefore cannot be installed on the x86 version. However it is still possible to use it by manually copying the MUI files and registering the language pack by adding an entry to the registry.
=== Miscellaneous ===
* Some dialogs such as run dialog doesn't show the label captions background properly, and shows the ButtonFace color.
* The Microsoft Confidential watermark is placed higher even though the timebomb isn't triggered yet.
=== Redpill ===
Using the checked compile and redpilling it, would result in login screen flashing, making it impossible to log in. And when clicking on any surface many times, this will happen:
