Define "FAST" please.About installation speed which took me 20mins in build 7000. I am curious as to know how much further have they reduced/optimized it? :blink:

Anyone knw wat version they giving away at

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd353205.aspx

wud the same Serial key work on the 7022 version?

MS is giving us 7000. The key worked on 7022 :laugh:

EDIT: Sorry. Didn't see that we are on 3rd page now.

I have found two minor bugs that I didn't have with the 7000 build.

1. If I add a couple of folders in the library and open the library when it's minimized, sometimes the second folder row have a very high selection box. I can take a screenshot of it later though. Hard to describe.

2. When showing hidden files and folders the hidden folders are now white/ have no icon. Screenshot as soon as I arrive back home.

yup seen that too but it eventually stopped, dunno what was up with it but after few hrs it was normal like before. Maybe the stability history thing needed to build up first, usually takes a few hrs to collect enough data.

too bad they do not release major updates as updates that you can just download and upgrade your beta to the newest version. That way the majority of people out there are using the best newest version instead of the older outdated version sending in feedback on issues that no longer exist.

i dont think it is that simple ,just an update ...

it could introduce more issues ,the same thing as doing upgrade from old beta to the new one

Nothing major has changed.

I like the new explorer to sidepanel explorer animation.

More icons is good. Less blue on the taskbar now to.

Other than that I'm alittle underwhelemed. I'm hoping Microsoft pull out a suprise theme or something for launch.

if you were a full time and PAID Microsoft Beta tester then yeah you'd get new versions as soon as they come out or almost all of them. There's no way you can find all the lil issues or generate ALL new ideas for one build everyday, sometimes it takes a lil while before something just hits you. If MS took it in another direction before you had a chance to come up with that great idea, well they wouldn't get that request.

Come on people...we need more screens here. The Downloads link in start menu...is that a new default Library?

Vids or it didn't happen. :p

Thanks X-bite

Also if you could check open a window like say IE Maximized then open WMP 12 and from the task bar see if it open on top of the IE window?

There is a bug in build 7000 where WMP 12 seem to almost always open behind other windpws.

It opens up in front for me on 7000... I'm guessing it's a machine specific thing.

1. I now have a picture of this

2. This problem seems to have fixed itself. Might be a graphics driver issue.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
