Dont suppose you have had any luck yet. I am eager to try this file out.

I am downloading the 7022 build but with my torrent speeds it will take days to finish lol

dhan: You could call it that, but it isn't very useful as it is now. I guess there will be an update to WLM which "fixes" this.

Found another update.

Remote Desktop have now been updated to have a blue bar on top in fullscreen mode.

Build 7000 has the blue bar in fullscreen mode.

The "Drag gadget" bug is still there with the Weather gadget.

Nice catch! I only use the expanded view (which doesn't have that issue) so I did not catch that one.

Does anyone else have the issue with IE8 that during the initial setup, it creates a Suggested Sites drop-down in the Favorites bar, but the drop-down shows the wrong text that should be for the Web Splices drop-down. Pic coming if needed.

Anyone notice this feature? Its new to me!

It been there since vista. I get that screen occasionally with ATI CCC when shutting down the laptop.

Another way to get it is to have multiple Firefox tabs open, and have the setting to still be asking you if you want to save the tabs. When you try to shut down, it'll stop and wait for a while. Very useful, has allowed me to cancel shut down and close stuff down properly first.

Currently using this build in a VM before I decide to load it onto my laptop. Observations:

- New Welcome Center background.

- Control Panel has three views: By category (a.k.a. categories that still confuse the hell out of me :p), by large icons (if you click Show all items in 7000), or small icons:

- Wordpad's icons no longer have an odd red rectangle on the lower right. Also notice that in Basic, the Quick Access toolbar has a very faint white shadow behind it:

- By default, Now Playing is this small - just artwork with the song name, artist, and album name cycling at the top:

- ...which also means that there's no longer a duplicate cycling of the now playing information on the lower left. Also WMP's Now Playing now renders fonts crystal sharp. Also note the playlist's songs; those are Windows 7's default three tunes:

- The song preview popup in WMP's library view also uses sharp ClearType rendering for text:

- The Explorer animation some people commented on is simply the cool sliding effect you see in Control Panel, only that it also animates when you open Personalization, for instance.

- Resource consumption, with a VM configured with 2 logical processors and 512 MB of RAM:

- In Basic, the list of windows that popup from taskbar buttons fade out.

- Windows Photo Gallery Lite Viewer now looks like a Win7 application. The buttons could use some cleanup though:

- Guess they're still working on this one:

I've noticed that the Notification tray "up-arrow" has been slightly improved. When clicked, the button highlights white. Though, it still has that annoying bug where if you right click on one of the Icons within the tray box and click off, it won't close the box until you click on the actual box then click off again.

just go to Action Center and then click maintainance tab and click View System History or click start and type exactly what you wrote. It will show, "View Problem history" - will launch the Reliability Monitor.

Or just tape "reliability monitor" in start menu's search field and press enter.

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components.

Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
