In Windows 7 Build 7000 and 7022 when you click on the start menu then All programs why does the last program folder at the bottom of the list disappear and leave a little space between that line right above the Back button?

I don't like this because sometimes when I open all programs and my mouse is over the blank space the scroll wheel on my mouse does not move the scroll bar until I have my mouse over the closest program folder.

It did not do this in Windows Vista and was better for it.

To test make sure you have enough things in your All programs menu. And leave the scrollbar at the top. Then open All programs and watch how the last program folder show for like a second then closes causing the blank space.

I hope Microsoft can just make this little change so it does not do that anymore.

Is this by design or is it a bug?

Video of the bug!

remember its beta, it doest do this on my copy of windows 7 could easily be graphics drivers causing this problem,

betas have bugs wait till general release then all will be good

O I understand Beta have there issues :) And I guess it could be a video driver issue but I don't think it is.

Just to be clear you said you do not have this issue. Are you sure you understand what I am talking about?

Definitely must be a bug but i just couldn't reproduce this on my side

Is your All Programs full and when you click on All Programs is the scrollbar at the top? Because this is when I see it.

Can you check please?

You should see one of your program folders Apear then disappear very fast.

Its not a huge deal but I just don't remember this happening in Windows Vista.

I would take a video of what is happening but the program I use Snapit cause a "com surrogate" error when recording a video.

Use inbuilt problem steps recorder in Windows 7 and upload the file in here...

I see it on the beta build. The very edge of the last item appears for an instant and then get displaced by the separator. Looks like a tiny bug/glitch that it is showing there are at all, the separator should show up at the same time as the list (or at least the last item should never draw). It may only show up in specific layouts or something.

Don't know if it's been fixed in later builds, I'll watch for it though.

Cool I new I could not be the only one seeing this :)

I know its not a huge bug or anything. But like you said it looks to be a glitch of some kind and I wonder if Microsoft knows about it?

well what build are you running on your laptop? :ninja:

oh btw brandon windows 7 is awesome if I haven't said before. an issue which I had in vista that still seems to exist in 7 is that explorer creates thumbnails for files such as pdf, doc and ppt at first and then just stops doing it after a while. is it some kind of ifilter issue? on 7 32bit btw.

Hmm... have you reported this through any of the official feedback channels? It wouldn't be IFilters, those don't have anything to do with thumbnails. However, thumbnails are generated by thumbnail handlers that are usually installed by the application that supports that file type. Also I assume you're referring to the real thumbnail images (and not icons), which actually show a preview of the document. For most Office documents, thumbnails aren't actually enabled by default, and they need to be enabled in the Save As dialog. I assume they're off by default because they make the file larger. At least I know that's true for Word docs (I think PowerPoint saves thumbnails out by default).

PDFs I'm not sure about, I'm guessing Adobe or whateve reader program you use is generating those. Do you have any problem with image file types? If so, it could be a problem with the thumbnail cache.

So your running a newer build then 7022?

Also you say you don't have this issue on your PC are you sure you tested it the right way?

Hmmmm I see you are from From Redmond, WA Home of Microsoft :)

Brandon could you check if the isssue here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=724530 also got fixed in your build of Winodws 7?

Ok I have installed Windows 7 Build 7048.

And I still have this bug! :(

Just too add to this topic.

When you click on All Programs it looks like the text flickers or something.

No question about it this is some kind of bug/glitch.

Just compare it to Windows Vista and you will see that Windows 7 has a glitch when clicking on All Programs under the start menu.

Ok I have installed Windows 7 Build 7057.

And I still have this bug! :(

In every build of Windows 7 including 7057 when you click on All Programs you can see the last program folder peek for a second then disappear.

Again this does not happen at all in Vista.

I hope Microsoft plans to fix this before final come out!

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
