I understand what hes saying. Before I couldn't send feedback, it was asking me for a key. Then a few days after Windows was asking me to activate (don't think this means anything, just saying).

I check back today and I see that I can send feedback, same as in the picture in first post.

Same thing happened to me. I checked multiple times over the past two weeks to try to send feedback, but it kept asking for a key with no way around it. Now, its suddenly letting me send feedback with no problem. In 6956, I actually used a patch to bypass around this, so I cannot say for sure if there was a point where feedback got automatically turned on like this.

1 - 7 stars is poorly organised.

Eh, I kind of felt the same way when I first started sending feedback in 6956. This form is certainly could be better, but I can understand why they wanted to keep it simple so it does not deter beta testers from sending feedback in the first place.

That's odd; the Feedback window appeared for me in 6801 (with a Vista public beta key), and in 6956 and 7000 without keys.

Same for me as well. I just closed the key window and then next time it took me to that screen. It won't let me enter my product key though anyway.

Its changed I just sent feedback about a bug. I've no key...

lol...this is why anyone not in the beta shouldn't bother submitting "bugs"...

The "Send feedback" is NOT for submitting bugs...it's for general feedback about Windows 7.

If you enter a genuine KEY into the feedback tool when it asks, you get another feedback option, to actually submit a bug.

maybe they are releasing the real Beta soon, that's why they have activated the feedback?

It all comes back to MS knowing that unofficial beta testers could still provide valuable input through an even more diverse testing environments than what can be provided through the official testers. A smart move on their part since it is better to here what everyone has to say and get problems fixed while they can without ending up with backlashes later on how this or that slipped through and is causing errors with certain programs.

It asked me to enter my product key before, stating I could otherwise only send "limited" feedback - not none at all. I closed that, having no key, and there was an option to submit feedback with that exact form.

This was at least a week ago, so I'm gonna say that as far as I can see this is nothing new.

it has not always been active, you could not send feedback without entering a key, why would they create a dialog box if you could always get past it? They may have changed it, but only in the last week or so.

No, they have not. This dialog box has always been active.

Please understand what i just wrote before. Before today you could not submit feedback without entering a key, Now you can send feedback by ignoring the dialog.

Of course the dialog box has always been active, it's designed into the OS lol :p

Erm, no. As I said, I have been able to submit feedback the whole time. You just had to close that dialog, like you said, and the option became available. Nothing changed recently.

      You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

      DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9

      By Copernic · Posted

      Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
