This happens because that OS ships with only two fonts (System and Lucida Console). The Scrollbar buttons and the Titlebar buttons are supposed to render using the Marlett font which is not present in Windows 11 validation OS (But is on Windows Preinstallation Environment/Windows Recovery Environment) and as a result, they're rendered using the same font used in the console window (Lucida Console) which reveals up certain numbers and lowercase latin letters. Titlebars are rendered using System font.
When you try to launch those apps you mentioned, they don't launch or they show an error window that says that the app is not compatible? Also, that OS ships with other apps or only with the command prompt? Also, most of the apps such as notepad that can be found at Windows PE are also missing in Windows Validation OS
Also, my experience on that OS thought that:
Most apps didn't worked (Most Console variants of them loaded properly, with a few exceptions such as the Nircmd Console version which did not worked at all, giving the inability to capture screenshots of the OS). Some apps did caused the cursor to become busy (Such as Mozilla Firefox) but did not launch actually. Some refuse to launch, including registry editor (From the primary SSD drive of course)
Basic Diskpart support is available by adding the Disk Management addon. You can use it to view the disk partitions for instance.
Command Prompt's Settings could not be changed (And as such you're stuck with black background color and green text color in CMD)
Closing CMD will cause a new one to appear
CTRL+ALT+Delete shows an error but closing it returns to CMD
I can access my laptop's drives using the dir command (The more modular tree command does not appear to work) or using direct paths (Primary Drive was assigned to letter D: while Data ones to E:)
If Multiple windows are open and Alt+Tab keyboard combination is used, the classic ones is shown, just like Windows PE
Aero Snap works like Windows 7 to 8.1 and is shown without translucent effects
Due to a lot of missing resources, it falls back to a broken classic theme (Lack of Aero.msstyles, Marlett font). Text is shown using the System Font in most cases.
More info may come once I found more testing on my side, those are fine for now
