An old build of Windows Core OS "Polaris" has been leaked to the Network
Back in 2018, it became known that Microsoft was creating a new modern version of the Windows 10 operating system for PCs, codenamed Polaris. The operating system was to be called Windows Core OS and include a foldable mobile version of Andromeda.

It was rumored that the new Windows Core OS would fix most of the legacy code and compatibility issues that Windows 10 has. Microsoft later canceled Polaris and Andromeda and switched to Windows 10X, and now an early build of Windows Core has been leaked online.
This version is dated 2018 and has no GUI. Since it is a raw version and may contain various problems, experts do not recommend trying to install it on your primary computer. This is an RS3 RTM assembly compatible with the ARM32 architecture. This means that the operating system can be installed, for example, on an outdated Surface RT.
P.s I know a lot of talented guys here, this may turn out to be to give a second wind to the surface of RT, I apologize for the text, I use a translator from Google

It would be pointless to install this, it would just dump you at a black screen because there is no shell and a lot of other stuff Is missing. The screenshot commonly posted with news of this release is not what this build is.
It's good this build is preserved but its not going to modernize RT's.

Update: The product page has been updated to reveal that the carrier is literally bundling Windows 7 (for the desktop) upgrades for HD2 purchasers. False alarm!

Back in the Spring of 2010, it seemed that every day we would get conflicting reports on whether existing Windows Mobile hardware would see an upgrade to Windows Phone 7. The consensus turned out to be a "no" after Microsoft directly denied the rumor, even after HTC Russia indicated the answer to be "yes" (which was then retracted)

But now, as news tipster MCP points out, Polish carrier Poland Telefonia Cyfrowa is listing the HD2 as getting an upgrade to "Windows 7", which we assume to mean Windows Phone 7. If you zoom out to the selector screen as shown above, two HD2 models are shown: one with and one without the upgrade. The one with the upgrade is "on sale soon", meaning you can't get it now.
Could this be a typo, or a sign of things to come?

Doubtful tbh. It's been discussed in the other section what the technical limitations for it would be.
Such as the strict 3-button requirements by Microsoft.
Guys I'm Polish.
I just navigated through the page.
They meant Windows 7 for your PC

Win8 BTD - (B)oot(T)o(D)esktop is a small tool which helps you to boot directly into classic desktop. ("Bypass" ModernUI Homescreen at startup)
Hello my name is Raffi and this is the first the first app I've posted at xda dev. So please be patient with me if I did something wrong. The program is written in C# and uses the .NET Framework 4.5. The application consists only of one .exe-file which does not add any files to the filesystem. So you can call it a portable app.
How to use it?
Start the Win8BTD.exe as administrator. Click on the desktop or on the modernui image to choose which "screen" you like to see after a boot.
Latest version
Win8 BTD 1.0.0.0
Old versions
n/a
Updates
The tool includes a minimal update check. So it tells you if it's time to look for a new version.
Tested on
Windows 8 Pro x64
If you own another version of Win8 and tested the tool with success on your system, let me know it.

How does it work?
Technical information
Greets,
Raffi
Can you please post it in a .reg or .bat format?
I think most of us would like to know what a program is doing before we run it.
So this is how it works
Article on my blog (english by google translator)
Article on my blog (german, original article)
In a nutshell
Change "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" key-value-pair in registry from explorer.exe to explorer.exe /select,explorer.exe
@victorator:
Is this ok for you or do you need still more information? Otherwise you could also decompile my tool, because I havn't used any kind of obfuscator.
It works very well and much easier...thanks..:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Cool, thanks for providing the app and the info (and yeah, people usually like to check these things; my usual approach is to just include the source but you can do whatever you want).
If a build meets criteria, it moves on and the next ring receives it. With new more rings,pre-Canary ring probably sees few times as many builds as Canary/OSG because they wiil catch problems in pre-Canary and don’t push futher.
So delays
Pre-Canary
Self-Host Ring

"Alternatively this may still be related to Android apps and may be the return of Project Astoria, as Build 14251 is the first OneCore build of Windows 10, meant for Mobile, Desktop and Xbox One."

Does anyone know how to enable or could provide some means of installing the Start Menu from Windows RT 8.1 Update 3 on Windows 8.1 Pro Update 2?

The idea is to keep live tiles as they appear on the Start Screen.

They're targeted at completely different hardware, so unfortunately no

That are targeted to different architectures is obvious.
I say in order to review the update KB3033055 and other related to Update 3 and extract the resource in question and make it compatible with Windows 8.1 PC.
Or even make the KB3033055 and other related update compatible with the Windows 8.1 PC.

I guess it's possible. I doubt it uses anything but .NET. The main issue is getting it working with x86 services since it's most definitely configured only for ARM32 services
I managed to install Windows 10 on my Windows RT, following this tutorial, and it looks good.
Now I'm trying to install Android X86 on it. I was thinking it gonna be easier from windows 10.
I think the strategy used in the tutorial was to create a Recovery Drive so that Windows allows usb detection. I was wondering if we could do the same thing to install another OS like Android.
At the moment, when I try to boot on my usb bootable Android, it doesn't boot.
Maybe the secure boot is again looked, I have again the lock icon ...

I dont know but open your control panel, and check in your devices or troubleshooter what that triangle error is
the surface rt is based on arm32 (aka armhf) not x86 you can try compiling an iso the resources are here https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis
