Hello again. I have a question. Why is Windows 8 build 8056 with a broken timebomb. Everywhere on the internet you can find that this build contains a timebomb ( for example here: https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_8_bui ... grfx_dev1)). I used Virtualbox and, it installed in 10 minutes, without having to change date. Why?

Windows 8 build 8056 on the current date

Re: Windows 8 build 8056 on the current date
Windows timebombs at this time were tied to activation. You just won’t be able to activate.Stef Mihai wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 8:57 pmHello again. I have a question.

This changed when MS started flightsigning in 2014 or so and builds would stop booting.

Yes, you can't activate this build. Also Metro feaures render it unusable. I have tried earlier to use redlock but it made it crash and startup repair showed up...and in the end I could boot it again.Meow wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 4:45 amWindows timebombs at this time were tied to activation.

Redlock's latest build can only go up to build 8121. Furthermore, a 2011 build working in 2022 is probably a broken timebomb.Stef Mihai wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 10:46 amYes, you can't activate this build. Also Metro feaures render it unusable.

Yes. It is. Also now I got Metro/Redpill working. It looks better than the Official Windows 8 Developer Preview build 8102PTEVENA wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2022 12:51 amRedlock's latest build can only go up to build 8121.

Don't write nonsense. In this assembly, the pre-metro is activated without the slightest problem, the system is very stable and works without crashes.Stef Mihai wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 10:46 amYes, you can't activate this build.

Wait I don't think you got that by default. Also, after a repair I said I could boot it ok. (with redpill)Andydudes wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 1:18 amDon't write nonsense.
