Template:Infobox WindowsBuild Windows 95 build 58s is the Chicago Preliminary Development Kit build and part of Milestone 4 stage. It is currently the earliest leaked build of Windows 95. It is most known for its early shell, which had 3 start buttons and menus instead of one. There was believed to be a build 56 of Chicago for many years. It was later found to be a modification of 58s and removed from the FTP.

A video on enabling Networking in this build can be found here.
