this build rocks, nice to get new sounds after so many years, new animations, very smooth and fast install, quicker than other versions, lovely initial setup screens
It's a bug. It only happens when installing or upgrading from within Windows desktop. A clean install should fix it.
Just the usual default ones in VMWare. Gave 8 GB RAM and 8 cores (I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT). After installation, be sure to install VMWare Tools to enable at least basic hardware acceleration.
Yeah the setup and even the few Windows updates were really fast. Almost like a breath of fresh air lol.
