Well lets start new topic on the RC branch

Well i feel this build is slightly buggy

1. WMP12 in now playing mode sometimes doesnt show slider positions and buttons

It is fixed by minimizing and maximising but annoying

2. Explorer is not showing thumbnails on folders as it did in vista even if theres folder.jpg inside each folder

3. Still no transfer speed while copying/moving files (Done on purpose ??)

4. I had activated the build yesterday using a legit key and today it shows windows is not activated and none of the keys work

5. Aero close button fluctuations on any device properties in device manager.

This is all on my 64 bit edition, 32 may vary although it seems strange I haven't tried it to know.

1. Report to MSFT using the Control Panel Send Feedback or else use the Desktop shortcut if you kept it.

2. Change the view to Medium, Large, or Extra Large. If that is what you use thats not normal because it works fine here and presumably for others too.

3. It is there, how is it gone, I'll post a screenshot later

4. Report to MSFT, but always remember this, install your drivers first then activate Windows because it sees some new drivers as entirely new hardware and cuts it off.

5. Again MSFT

transfer speed while copying/moving files works here in build 7048 :)

4. I had activated the build yesterday using a legit key and today it shows windows is not activated and none of the keys work fine on mine

5. Aero close button fluctuations on any device properties in device manager. still bugged, but hardly important

Fixed dual tuner detection but still will not use both.

All those folders have the folder.jpg file in them but still no thumbnails for most of them

Not supposed to anymore, they are live to show whats in them.

This isn't a bug, but as the topic is Discussions & Bugs, I think this applies :)

I've got a legit Beta key for 7000, and have that installed (in fact am using it right now), anyway, can I upgrade 7000 to 7048 with my beta key!?

Sorry, if this is discussed elsewhere, I did do a quick look but couldn't see it mentioned anywhere.

Yes u can upgrade

but only from X86 -> X86 and X64 -> X64 only

Anyone noticed any problems with Homegroup, i.e you select a folder to share and make it read/write and the icon remains the same so you get no indication that the folder is indeed a share. also that the selected folder does not show in the homegroup, although the regular ones do, like Music, Pictures, Videos.

and a 20 second delay when you select all programs.

One thing they could possibly do for Disk Defragmenter is make it so that it tells you whether it's necessary to defrag or not, currently it tells you how much is fragmented.

I believe on XP, it would do this.

what are ppl's expiry dates heard it expires in june

Mine is July 1st

Has been working better than the last 7022 version for me as well.

I get transfer speeds showing up.

It corrected some errors I had with my Data Color Spyder Elite 3 that I had. It now detects and installs the software fine. It didn't do that before. So they made that better. I installed the hardware update on the 7022 build and it didn't work. The new build now works perfectly with it.

I still think they can improve on the Windows Start Button as well as the superbar. They need to make the active tab more flashy to get attention before you hover over it. I know it is there and which programs as minimized but consumers are looking for something that will stand out. Maybe more contrasting colors in the tabs.

Bug/BSOD if I enabled Firewire(1394) on the motherboard and try to boot with it on I get BSOD. It will BSOD everytime which it didn't do in 7022/7000. I don't use it now but I did use it before in 7022. I just moved the External Drives to USB instead.

I upgraded from x86 7022 to x86 7048. Went smooth. Took a while though.

Things I have noticed no one has mentioned here:

In 7022 I had the taskbar thumbnails disabled. I don't like them. But for some reason they won't stay disabled anymore through gpedit.msc

Anyone know a fix?

My WEI for gaming graphics went down a lot for some reason. It was 6.9 in 7000 & 7022. Now it is 6.0 in 7048. All the others stayed the same. I am using Cats 9.1 4870 1GB (780/925). Perhaps it will go back up with new official ATI Win7 drivers?

I find 7048 boots faster a tiny bit more than 7022. Overall OS experience seems a bit more snappy too.

Can anyone confirm that rolling the mouse over the Start Menu links to your personal folders, Documents, Music, Pictures flickers the bottom part of the Start Menu when the Basic theme (no Aero) is on? If so, that is a pretty big bug that was fixed in 7022 (with the orb itself flickering).

Also, when Alt-Tab'ing, does the Alt-Tab window itself disappear while switching between previews or does it stay? The whole window goes away and just the program icons remain.

It is happening in 7048 x86 for me.

Only two new issues for me.

1. WEI won't complete. Crashes at the very end of the assessment.

2. In WMP12 Now Playing mode previously if I click Show List it would stay there everytime I opened and closed it but now I have to click Show List everytime I go into Now Playing mode. Very annoying.

Other issues I've had since the beta

1. When deleting or formatting a dvd the dvd drive shows up twice in windows explorer until I refresh it.

2. The dvd drive does not show how much space is free when items are written to a dvd only when it's emtpy. Also the bar is always empty whether it's empty or not. It also somes times says it's empty when it's not.

3. Audio volume drops after a days use. Sounds like it's on 80% volume after a day even though it's always set to 100% on all sections.

Oh my God, Microsoft is having same mistakes than in Vista

This is not a public build, nor was it meant to be leaked. So I don't see how they're making the same mistakes. If RAM usage is significantly higher in the final RC1 build then that will be cause for concern.

    • Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
