Every build after 7000 has a certain per cent of users experiencing random loss of internet both on wired and wireless connections. The bug defies troubleshooting, hangs on restart requiring hard shutdown, then resets upon start up.

Even though daily builds are notorious for having bugs not yet worked out, it seems strange this same bug would exist through so many builds.

Waiting to hear if it repeats in 7077.

Lost internet in second hour on 7077.

Cannot force change to XP driver (fails) for Linksys WUSB54GS adapter; the driver I am using is Vista, the only other one for my model.

Am swapping WRT100 (draft N) router with older trusty BEFW11S4 b/g to see if that helps. If it does I may buy a WRT54G router since WRT100 has been a pain (RMA'd twice).

Yes. I went from 7048 which had intermittent connection issues, to 7068 which seems to have problems loading pages left and right.

Haven't tried 7077 yet... but its getting progressively worse when using the internet.

It's not my connection as other people in the house seem to be just fine.

The first time I had it was with 7057. Now I noticed it again with the 7077 build. The weird thing is at home it kicks me and my wife off of internet (she has Vista), but we both still remain on the network, just no internet. I have to reset the router. I think this might have happened with an earlier (pre 7057) build and I thought I disabled ipv6 and that seemed to fix it. Might have to try that again.

I have not had this problem with any build from 7000 through 7077.

Same here (7000 through 7068). And if some have this issue while others do not, wouldn't that indicate hardware issues and not OS issues?

That would be the most likely suspect except that it never happens in 7000. As soon as subsequent build starts dropping net (2-3 times daily), I just wipe the partition and revert back to 7000 where it has never happened since release.

Some hardware issues are OS specific, as with Intel 855/915 graphics drivers which froze WMP in 7000-22, then while Intel ignored us it was fixed in builds 7048 and after.

You guys need to update the drivers on your wireless cards, as well as the firmware on your routers.

I've had absolutely no problems whatsover with my Intel N card and my Tomato-loaded Buffalo router.

Its not just wireless cards.

My laptop at home is wired and it drops every now and then ever since I moved past 7022.

My workstation at work which is also wired, dropped for the first time yesterday and required a couple reboots before it started working again.

No drops on my desktop and my laptop using both Ethernet and wireless. I have a realtek ethernet adapter and an Intel 5100 wifi chip inside. I used stock drivers on the laptop and used Driver Genius to get my ethernet driver off Vista and Windows update had a new one as well and that fixed some slow speeds.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
