ok...i get an error at the end of the installation saying it didn't work and i should try after restarting. i did that but i got the same problem. i tried looking at the problem on the web help but it couldn't find it. then, when i opened WMP it asked me to go through the config stuff and the version i have is 11.0.5721.5145. is this the correct version?

Does anyone else have a white pixel issue around the corners of the player? I didn't have this issue with the beta. I also installed the final on top of the beta... I guess that could create an issue, but I didn't see any warnings to remove it before installation.

I got that thing too. Just maximize then restore the program. If that doesn't work, restart the program.

Thanks, I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one experiencing it. Sometimes minimizing/maximizing doesn't fix it, but going to compact mode back out to full mode always does the trick. It is a minor issue, but still an issue that needs fixing.

It's still black and it's still an incredible poor choice for default install on an XP that's supposedly very blue (not to mention.. white playlist? Who designed the colours, a trainee?)

You can change the colors from the default like I did with mine, since I love blue I gave mine a blue feel, check it out:

They changed some of the icons in the gui, they're using alot of light blue now, and some buttons have been changed and got a glow to them now, overall the performance is 2x better than the beta 2. Much much fster imo, like when ur scrolling though your media it goes much faster especially i you have alot of album art...the top bar looks a little bit more flushed in and doesnt pop out as much..alot of improvements imo. I think it's looking really good so far.

Too bad it requires WGA to install! Having to buy windows just so you can install WMP 11 and their other new junk will not be worth it for many people. Time to migrate to OSX or Linux!

wow what a troll! nobody is forcing you to use it, if you don't like it don't use it. complaining because you don't have a legal copy of Windows? WGA is not a problem at all for us who run legal software, so stop crying like a baby and get real.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
