Vista Build 5365 released too testers on connect


Recommended Posts

5365 is running so smooth here! Animations and Aero Glass are working with NO slowdowns. The only problem I have at the moment is when a Windows Security message pops up and my screen flashes for about 2 seconds before and after I click it. Any workarounds? Thanks

^^ You can anonymously report bugs through MBC if your so inclined; even if your not a BT. You just won't be able to access feedback etc.

No, bad idea.

Microsoft often asks for additional information regarding bugs which is directed at the person who posted that bug. If you're not in the beta then there's no way to respond to these requests. The bug will eventually be closed but it is a big waste of time for MS beta staff.

been using this build on a couple of my pcs, its is stable for the most part but the ics does not work. the widows secuirty were it switches you to a other screen is a pain in the neck and sometimes does not work. got deamon tools working and office 12 beta now works(jusr problem with black boards on it and not showing glass)

It might seem useless to you, but its more pro-active than bitching at a forum, which nobody can guarantee will be read by Microsoft. :blink:

If they didn't want to "waste time" (in your words) with anonymous bug reports, they wouldn't have given users the option. No two ways about it.

Why is it that I never received the link to download the 5365 build from connect. I've been a member on connect as well as the OEM System Builder site for some time now. I am also pre-registered for beta testing. I've received all the other builds prior to this one. Any help would be great.

I don't think I can help you, but if I were you, I would go to the newsgroups and ask it there. Maybe someone from the team will help you? Or you could always send an email to the adres provided on connect.

^^ He's correct. Wendy will be more than happy to help appropriate members, provided that you email them with your problems to the email address listed on the Longhorn/IE 7 Beta page -- they don't have staff sitting there all day working out who's permissions etc have been screwed up.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
