I will try the x86 version in a virtual pc until I think it is worth upgrading from 7048, and there is an x64 edition leaked.

Has the start menu lag for clicking "All programs" been fixed for this release, as well as the issues with homegroups fiddling with my permissions?

hmmm for a full fresh install or upgrade from build 7000

Fresh install with all non-RTM builds, unless you are prepared for doing a clean install later if problems arise during the upgrade or after the upgrade.

Download this one: http://deepxw.blogspot.com/2009/01/downloa...st-version.html the patch is in that app, I used it as well on 7048.

Thanks.

Edit: This patch is for resetting the half-open connections, something I already did with another patch.

I thought this time after reformatting so many times for different builds I would try out the upgrade option.

Well, to start with it wanted almost 9gig free space to allow this (ideally 14).

Secondly, the installation took about an hour, which I thought was a bit much.

When it was done it had done a bit of damage.

My ESET Smart security 4 was corrupted and blocked all internet access no matter what I did, so I have to completely remove it, then the cheeky sods stuck shortcuts to WMP, IE and library in my taskbar AGAIN. I had it how I liked it thanks. It also removed 3 shortcuts from my start menu too, without warning. It did manage to save my desktop icons in the same place and remember my wallpaper, but thats about it.

It also forgot my superbar transparency settings too.

But what I did find annoying it after I removed eset and restarted, the network icon in the notifcation area is missing. There is only volume now, I've checked the notification settings and its set to show all.

All in all, my experience of upgrading was ****. If it keeps playing up I'll try a full install from scratch.

do the old patches not work?

i noticed that the old watermark problem would cause problems in 7022 such as compatibility mode not working

hope this is not the case with build 7057 =)

None of the ones that I have been able to find for any of the older builds have worked. It mostly likely has something to do with the patches needing to be updated for changes in the OS code. I would not worry about it right now since RC is almost on the way. Once it releases, I am sure updated scripts will be all over the place for download.

You shouldn't run this build if you can't decide for yourself. What do you think is best?

hey look a smart ass comment ! WOW what a shocker there :rolleyes:

Rageoffury : tyvm for the comment just what i needed i had read that the upgrade was a bit iffy but i wanted to ask

I'm just saying that if you're unsure how to install a new (technically unofficial) build, you're probably better off just waiting for an RC or something.

Hm, thats lame, it sets that encryption setting to 128 bit.

Thats a good thing obviously for safety, but not for compatibility. If it says not all devices can handle 128 bit, chances are thats true - networking Windows 7 with anything other than Windows 7 is going to be a nightmare with this and the whole HomeGroup/libraries thing.

the first 2 times i rebootet and kept windows of explorer, internet-explorer and mspaint open, windows 7 restored all those after reboot. which surprised me and i liked this a lot, thought it was a new feature.

now it doesnt do that anymore. i googled and found out that already under windows xp there was an option to let explorer restore all previously opened windows after reboot, however i cant find this option under win7. ideas?

Also interested!

7056 running great on my computer but i find WMP 12 a lot buggier. First of all i've put all of my music files in music library and it takes SO LONG to automatically add the files into WMP. Plus if I manually do that,it doesn't work and it takes all albums folders outside the Artists' ones. Another bug i found is that the art cover of the album doesn't appear outside the folder any longer. Hopefully in the real Release Candidate (which should be compiled anytime now) all these annoyances will be solved.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
