• Broken Dependencies: Creators of these mods sometimes remove components that other programs rely on. You may find that certain software refuses to install, crashes, or behaves unexpectedly because a specific system file or library was removed.
• Update Issues: You generally cannot run Windows Update on these builds. Attempting to do so often breaks the system or fails because the components required for updating have been removed.
