First of all hi and thanks for your awesome work Windows X. Even though I can see all the new visual styles, logon screen and backgrounds I don?t get any new icons, logoff screen, longhorn style buttons and some other stuff. The problem appears to be with the dllcache folder cuz when I manually install the pack using the .bat file it says that it can?t find the files in the dllcache folder that were meant to be replaced. Any solutions for that? Thanks for your help, and sorry for my english not being too fluent.

I just installed it and then I didn't think it was for me so i uninstalled it throuhg the setup, and restarted now i get a blue screen when i start up normally! I'm using Safe Mode with Networking right now... i tried SFC to check my system files but it won't work in safe mode!

I know it isn't exactly your fault, but i was wondering if you knew a fix? Maybe a startup program or something that might be causing it? The blue screen only comes up a minute or so after i see the desktop, so im assuming its a startup.. or any other info you might know would help too! Thanks

whcodered, enter Recovery console mode and check files in Windows\System32\LHTrans. If there's files in that folder, copy those files to its original place and reboot.

HummerT30, some files may failed to patch in normal mode. Uninstall and try again in safe mode.

Dear WindowsX,

There's a bug in one of the VS that included in LTP8. The bug is in Longhorn Aero.msstyles when you choose Aero (Glass) the font size of username at userpane is too big it's about at size 12 or more while other Aero looks have the font at size 8 or less and bold. Anyway your LTP8 is very great, thanks.

Actually, I'm looking for javascript and DHTML experts who can help me improve my SideBar with their contributed web tasks. Main concepts of SideBar is eye candy and less resources (Believe me it doesn't suck up your resource as much as wallpaper. It's just another active desktop thingy) But it would be much better if I can add something else right now but I'm not expert on javascript and dhtml so I can't do anything else about it (I made flash clock and slideshow in one whole night without learning it and that's far I can do for it right now)

About website, I moved to www.windowsx.cc since somebody has taken it before me :(

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
