Windows Me build 2368 is an unleaked build of Windows Me, known to contain the Activity Centers. Paul Thurrott also mentioned this build on "The Road to Gold: The development of Windows Me",[1] where he stated this build also had an early version of System Restore and Help and Support and that it was released to developers on 9 September 1999 (although the timeline states that it was released on 3 September 1999). Several screenshots of this build were found on Jonathan Kay's website.[2]

This build was uploaded to the Internet by the warez group TRPS, but remains lost, with only a single CAB part from a fix release recovered so far. A former FTP of a Russian university apparently also contained this build at some point.[3]
