WMP11 beta 1 (left) & beta 2 (right):

beta 2:

New icon look: iconuw5.gif

Thank God they got rid of the black line in the tabs! The lighter color fits in much better and doesn't scream "We screwed up coding the tabs!". From the original screenshots, before beta 1, I thought the line was a glitch, but then I tried it...

So it's ok to install ontop even if I wasn't using the last officially released beta? I was using that pre version. Build 11.0.5358.4826, and I think the officially released one was 4827. I doubt it makes a difference but just checking.

alot of people say to uninstall the other one before installing this one to get alot better reports out of it... But i only went ahead and install overtop... So yeah it's pretty much ok to do so...

When I enable the WMP little toolbar thing, how do I disable the box that pops up displaying song information. Everytime I mouse over it the info. pops.up.

ok your'll see two arrows one going upwards and the other one going downwards in the upper right hand cornor... Just hit the down arrow and that'll close the song info window.

Did anyone notice if they go to a site that plays videos (esportsea.com premium anyway) the video window is now WMP11. Even when I had WMP11, it was still the old Version 10 look, now it finally changed.

    • 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"
