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 :(

Task Manager bug is still present.

Double Click on a Graph in Task Manager, Double Click Again, Experience Bug.

You mean on the Performance tab?

... Yes, still there. double click on the graphs, the get scaled too big. Double-click again, some garbage graphics remains. Same as in 7057.

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.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
