I cant put my computer to sleep!After a while computer turn on !!!Please help! :(
Same problem here. Feedback sent.

Two things to check

1. Wake on Lan should be disabled in your network adapter properties

2. Check event viewer. If your computer is waking up exactly at 3am or 3pm (mine did), there will be a task in task scheduler. Disable it (if safe to do so!).

My bugs (Build 7000):

2) Start button truncated when taskbar is located on top and using small icons.

It only happens when using extended desktop on dual monitor. With single monitor it does not happen.

This problem is solved in build 7048 but there's another problem. There's a small space between the orb and the top of the screen.

Solved in build 7048.

It would appear the latter cursor is the successor to the former, as it matches the visual style of the new Aero cursor design.

There are still quite a few graphical quirks that I hope get cleaned up by RC...

  • Go into Personalization -> Screen Saver. How long has that PC bezel been there? And why hasn't it been changed to something much more attractive yet?
  • Install an application. Chances are, you'll still get that Win95-era PC icon. Again, why hasn't this been modernized into something that fits in with the rest of Aero?
  • Use Office 2007 or any other application that allows you to drag things via the left margin. Notice how the pretty Aero cursor morphs into the ugly Windows 2.0 era cursor from 1986.

These are just three of the biggest graphical quirks that I've found still lingering in Win7 Build 7048. Are they mission critical? No, they're not. But Win7 has so far seemingly been all about cleaning up and modernizing the OS, so it'd be a shame if those three (very obvious) legacy graphics continue to linger on.

I'm not really sure whether this is a bug or what, but i want to confirm it if its just my setup

Problem GUI

As you can see the icons are messed up, menu, right click desktop, personalize - change desktop icons...

One thing I've just noticed both in build 7000 & it's still present in build 7048

Run Firefox in mutiple tabs hover ur mouse over the FF's icon on the Superbar it'll only show the preview of the the tab u'r currently viewing but not all opened tabs.

Group preview is only supported by microsoft products that's why.

Yup, Build 7048 seems to have those low-quality icons in Personalization. It wasn't there in 7000 or 7022, so I assume it will be fixed by the RC.

Its not per say only Microsoft products, but the programs do have to be written for it.

There are public API's and my guess is Firefox 4.0 will support these Windows 7 specific features

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By monterxz · Posted

      I hate Slack, but Teams is much worse - maybe they've already optimized it, but it was a huge slog the last time I've checked about half a year ago. I miss my Skype.
