I thought it would be useful to have a thread for posting bugs found in 7068.

Post any bugs you found in 7068 here. Also mention if x86 or x64, and if you've witnessed the bug in earlier builds or not.

I'll start with bugs I noticed so far, x64:

WinSat bug

Aero Graphics wrongly reports 5.9 instead of 7.9

already found in 7057, Aero Graphics was calculated properly before

Windows Colour Picker bug

If you try entering values into one of the six text boxes (Hue/Lum/Sat/R/G/B), it only permits entering two digits instead of three, as it should. Very annoying with apps who don't have a colour picker of their own.

already found in 7057, worked fine before

Gadget bug

Anime PC Meter gadget (current version 1.7.4) doesn't work properly anymore: display errors, flyouts don't work, causes constant cpu load of ~30%.

new bug, worked fine in 7057

edit:

Windows Colour Picker bug and Gadget bug are still around in 7106 :(

I noticed something screwed up with moving icons around the superbar if moving stuff that was after the first 11 or 12 icons, but as soon as I really started messing with it to get an idea of what was going on it stopped happening. I would go to swap an icon with the one next to it, for example, and they would swap back as soon as I released the mouse, or the icon I moved would end up switched around with the icon next to it, et cetera.

To be fair, though, I did perform an upgrade install instead of clean. Actually, I did worse than that... I went from 7000 to 7022 to 7048 to 7057 then back to 7048 (compatibility mode on the installer... haha), then to 7057 again and finally to 7068. I'm surprised this is the only bug I've seen, especially with that downgrade I tricked the installer into performing.

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned anywhere: jump lists appear a few pixels too low when the superbar is at the top of the screen. First occurred in 7048 or 7057, I think. If I call up the jump list by left clicking and dragging instead of via right click, it "snaps" to the location it should be, but if I right click to get it to show up, the location is about 20 pixels lower than it should be.

I can't understand why these small bugs have not been fixed and new bugs appear at this late stage of the proceedings ????

I wonder if Microsoft's new policies regarding code quality have something to do with this. Since everything has to be reviewed before it can be committed now, I guess it's possible for somebody to be working on a bunch of changes but to not have them accepted until later in development, hence the possibility of last minute changes causing bugs. It's still leaps and bounds ahead of their previous "commit whatever the hell you want" policy.

WMC is again throwing up frequent Copying Prohibited flags on my Analog TV channels.

Also when I goto right click and select a winrar menu context option its doesn't immediately register. I have to repeat it couple times before Winrar kicks in unpacks the said file. I noticed it in 7057 as well but chalked it up to an upgrade issue. This is a clean install.

On this new build the action center detects that Kaspersky is installed but says it cannot determine what its status is and wants me to enable the windows firewall. I presume this will be solved by a Kaspersky update as I have tried the Kaspersky Windows 7 beta version with the same results.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
