The 9.2 driver works fine, what doesn't work is CCC. I can't get it to work, I get a crash error saying that CCC isn't compatible with the current version of driver.

Works fine for me as well here, no problems whatsoever. I did a fresh install of 7048.

Thanks.

Hi,

Driver sound max for audio integrated (Analog Devices AD1986A @ nVIDIA nForce 430 (MCP51) - High Definition Audio Controller PCI)

NOT work :o :blink:

In the build 7022...working normally...

Very compliments MS!

My system is not most recent (athlon 64 3,2 , 2 gb of RAM drr 400, Nvidia 8400 and HD WDC 320 GB... ), but respect an XP (in absolute the better operating system than MS) and to Linux. Vista and Seven turn out to be truly and uselessly abnormal!

build pre beta WAS NOT so, indeed the opposite one, seemed the carried out one!

Overall 7048 is running good. I have noticed some bugs though. But hey, it's a beta right?

1) WEI is not reliable and very buggy.

2) Shutdown and restart takes over 5 minutes and does not complete successfully.

3) Dell TouchPad driver is not working right.

4) I have to supply username and password still after re-booting for mapped drives in a workgroup.

is this problem resolved?

i have a problem with copy-pasting. dunno whether it a known issue.

my problem is, i cant copy/cut - paste any file on folder in Libraries (documents/music...)

i have to open up that particular folder to paste the content.

in this pic you can see the "paste" option is missing.

You guys must be mad testers because I have yet to experience any bugs with 7048. Actually, there was one. Remember the right-click problem in Vista where if you right clicked a file and it would function as if you were right clicking an empty area? I think I got that a few times

Is there a problem like memory leaks in this build?? Because after using it for around 10mins my laptop slows to an almighty crawl and I have to re-start.

Never had anything like this on 7022 or 7000. :( Might have to drop back to 7022 for now.

The only problem I have is that this build does not recognize my Intel imsm RAID controller and I think this is causing my WEI rating to go down too, other than that I miss the "BladeRunner" font which is gone in this build, The new method to strech and shrink the superbar is awesome, very good Microsoft.

It's hard to explain for me, you would have to see it to understand it, maybe I didn't use the right words, the thing is that now you can fit a lot more icons on the superbar and as it fills it starts to automatically shrink or contract so that more items fit, eventually you will get the little arrows that help you navigate to the new row of items in the superbar when you add too many icons to it though.

I have this ability in 7000 today.

Not really, in 7000 you had a set number of icons you can add and when it fills out you see the arrows, now it takes many more items for the arrows to show, and as you add icons or open programs you can actually see the superbar visually strecthing or shrinking.

iTunes is acting odd, AGAIN.

It's got a mind of its own, sometimes it opens, sometimes I could click the icon for ages and nothing appears.

Task manager shows its there and taking up 23,080k. That never increases and it should be more. I end the process and try again and again. It always hits 23,xxx usage and we know it should be higher.

I just tried to understand but if you don't mind, any chance for a video on youtube ? :p

So is this build going to be the RC?

No, the UAC issue still hasn't been fixed in this build and it definitely cant be RC... Its sort of pre-RC build for internal testers

Ah right, thanks. I think I'll skip it then until a build leaks thats definitely the RC, or just get the RC. Now the main question is whether to go 32 or 64bit.

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

      "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
