If this is real, thats bloody fast movement on the W7 front. I hope it is. If anyone has it downloaded, please post proof that its legit, otherwise it looks to be a long night of slow downloading, only to probably find out its fake all along lol.

Not sure about the 19th, I swear someone here got in touch with a chap working for MS who said that a previously reported 7048 (I think) release couldnt exist, as they were only compiling 7047 right there and then. That was less than a week ago.

I may have my facts mixed up though, anyone care to elaborate?

you are 100% on this, after ms employee i think it was Brian said 7048 didn't exist and 7047 was being compiled that was all a lie, MS will deny everything.

Now look what build we have installed lol :D

Also i just made an ISO of Build 7000 x64, it cannot be this build as this is 3.19GB

7048 got compiled on 19th Jan i think, so it's possible they are upto 7054. Even further internally TAP program.

I don't think 7048 was the 19th of Jan -- but rather 19th of Feb. 090219-1845.

Build 7048 was released to TAP on Sunday. How can they release build 7054 just 4 days after? Me thinks 7054 is fake. Don't waste your time.

Here are some screenshots of setup.exe from build 7048 :

RC was going to TAP people end of feb not 7048 as 7048 is Pre-RC

I don't think 7048 was the 19th of Jan -- but rather 19th of Feb. 090219-1845.

Lol early in morning, month error, yes i meant Feb.

Maybe so, but its possible that IE8 RTM isnt done for W7 yet - they could have shifted focus on completing it for Vista and XP. Seeing as they have a couple of months before 7 is released and sold, they may as well do it that way around - its transparent to us consumers, and means we all get IE8 RTM quicker in comparison.

I still get very frequent taskbar flickering/disappearing with 7048 (no change from build 7000). Any idea what's causing this? Is it my display drivers, or a problem with Windows 7? You'd think if it were the latter they would have addressed that bug by now...?

Other than that, I haven't noticed any performance differences with this build. There are a few slight cosmetic changes (new icons, wallpapers, etc.) but nothing much else seems to have changed, which I suppose is good (aside from the flickering bug!) I'm now even more eager to try out the RC...hoping things will be 100% smoothed out by then. I get the feeling this build is not particularly polished (hence why it was never meant to be released for public testing). Anybody else feel the same?

I have a problem that has been a bug in all builds I have tested.

Whenever I open or close a window or program, the animation is kinda quirky and laggy.

It feels like it hangs, just for some milliseconds, before it closes or opens. In builds prior to 7048 this also happened whenever I max\minimized the windows\programs.

I know it's not my rig, I have a quad core q9400, geforce gtx260 with 4gb ram, and Vista runs fluidly.

Anyone else having the same problems?

I feel like I'm the only one since I have never heard anyone else with that annoying bug.

I have the exact same problem. I thought it was a "by-design" thing and learned to live with it. :( (8800GTS/E6750 here)

I believe it is "by design". You can change it to be faster though in regedit.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Control Panel--> Mouse --> MouseHoverTime

change 400 to 50 or less, restart.

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂
    • Thank gawd AT&T never worked with the US gov....
    • Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
