== Bugs and quirks ==
=== General ===
* Client-side anti-cheat game services may fail to work properly due to internal structure changes within this build.
* Upgrading to this build may fail with a SYSTEM_PTE_MISUSE bugcheck and a 0xC1900101 error code.
* Shutdown and hibernation may not work correctly on certain devices, thus resulting in logging out and back in.
=== Shell ===
* Text on highlighted items in Microsoft Management Console and some of its snap-ins may have a yellow color.
* The File Explorer tabs may be missing in certain cases.
=== Copilot ===
* Voice access and Windows Ink may not work reliably if the undocking experience for Copilot is enabled.
* Users may unable to bring focus to the ellipsis or Refresh buttons by using a keyboard if the undocking experience for Copilot is enabled.
* When Copilot is docked and resized to a large width, it may not always fill the width of the panel. Resizing Copilot to less than half of the width of the screen usually fixes this issue.
