=== “越狱”漏洞 ===
2013年1月，一个存在于Windows内核中的权限提升漏洞被发现，用户可透过该漏洞利用微软向[[通用Windows平台应用|Metro应用]]开发者提供的远程调试工具来更改存储于[[Random-access memory|RAM]]中的签名级别，从而使Windows RT能够执行未经微软签名的代码<ref name="extremetech-exploit">{{cite web |title=Windows RT jailbroken to run third-party Desktop apps |url=http://www.extremetech.com/computing/144888-windows-rt-jailbroken-to-run-third-party-desktop-apps |date=2013-01-07 |access-date=2013-03-14 |publisher=ExtremeTech |archive-date=2013-03-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130312200636/http://www.extremetech.com/computing/144888-windows-rt-jailbroken-to-run-third-party-desktop-apps |dead-url=no }}</ref>。发现这一漏洞的开发者在其介绍该漏洞原理的博客文章中也呼吁微软解除Windows RT平台的代码签名限制，并批评微软拒绝第三方开发者为Windows RT开发传统桌面应用的做法“并非出于技术缘由，只是一个糟糕的营销决策”<ref name="pcw-rtunsigned">{{cite web |title=Windows RT can be tweaked to run desktop apps, hacker says |url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/2023856/windows-rt-can-be-tweaked-to-run-desktop-apps-hacker-says.html |last=Paul |first=Ian |access-date=2013-01-08 |publisher=[[PC World]] |archive-date=2013-01-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130109015616/http://www.pcworld.com/article/2023856/windows-rt-can-be-tweaked-to-run-desktop-apps-hacker-says.html |dead-url=no }}</ref>。而微软则在向媒体发出的回应声明中赞赏了该漏洞的发现者，并表示该漏洞不会对Windows RT构成安全威胁，因为利用该漏洞需要设备的管理员访问权限和拥有一定的技术能力，同时还需要为ARM架构重新编译程序。不过，微软还是表示会在未来的更新中修复此漏洞<ref>{{cite web |title=Windows RT hack?

不久之后就有开发者将破解工具打包为[[批处理文件]]并上传至[[XDA Developers]]论坛<ref>{{Cite web |title=Windows RT jailbreak tool unleashed online |url=https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/windows-rt-jailbreak-tool-unleashed-online/ |website=CNET |date=2013-01-11 |language=en |last=Whitney |first=Lance |access-date=2025-10-03 |archive-date=2023-05-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530062123/https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/windows-rt-jailbreak-tool-unleashed-online/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>。而脱离了微软的的限制后，便有开发者将[[TightVNC]]、[[PuTTY]]和[[Bochs]]等桌面应用移植至Windows RT<ref name="extremetech-exploit" /><ref name="pcw-jailbreaktool">{{cite web |title=Jailbreak tool gives Windows RT tablets desktop-like functions |url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/2024918/jailbreak-tool-gives-windows-rt-tablets-desktop-like-functions.html |last=Paul |first=Ian |access-date=2013-01-12 |publisher=PC World |archive-date=2013-01-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130113014759/http://www.pcworld.com/article/2024918/jailbreak-tool-gives-windows-rt-tablets-desktop-like-functions.html |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref name="itw-jailbreak">{{cite web |title=You can jailbreak Windows RT to run desktop apps...or even Mac OS |url=http://www.itworld.com/consumerization-it/335499/you-can-jailbreak-windows-rt-run-desktop-appsor-even-mac-os |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130114034508/http://www.itworld.com/consumerization-it/335499/you-can-jailbreak-windows-rt-run-desktop-appsor-even-mac-os |archive-date=2013-01-14 |access-date=2013-01-12 |publisher=IT World}}</ref><ref name="tnw-bochs">{{cite web |title=Microsoft declares Windows RT Jailbreak tool is safe, says it 'appreciates the work of researchers' |url=https://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/01/11/microsoft-is-investigating-windows-rt-jailbreak-tool-says-will-take-appropriate-action/ |date=2013-01-11 |access-date=2013-01-28 |publisher=The Next Web |archive-date=2013-01-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116181324/http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/01/11/microsoft-is-investigating-windows-rt-jailbreak-tool-says-will-take-appropriate-action/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>。此外，还有开发者打造出一款名为“Win86emu”的模拟器，可使用户在Windows RT中模拟运行x86软件，不过其没有完整支持所有Windows API，且运行效率不高<ref name="ext-win32emu">{{cite web |title=How to run normal x86 Windows apps on your Windows RT tablet |url=http://www.extremetech.com/computing/148841-how-to-run-normal-x86-windows-apps-on-your-windows-rt-tablet |work=ExtremeTech |date=2013-02-20 |access-date=2013-12-22 |archive-date=2013-12-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224194804/http://www.extremetech.com/computing/148841-how-to-run-normal-x86-windows-apps-on-your-windows-rt-tablet |dead-url=no }}</ref>。
