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.

    • 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.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • 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”
