Known Issues
- Loading RTK Drivers at boot time causes the machine to continuously attempt to repair itself. In some instances the machine will crash before it reaches the boot entries. As a result, it is not possible to boot the machine in Safe Mode. To work around this issue when it occurs, you must restore the machine to an earlier state. See the Windows article at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/create-a-system-restore-point for more information.
- Expanding local memory to the point of memory exhaustion causes the system to hang. (4581)
