Meh, each build I've installed has had some annoying bug that has made me fiend for a new build like crack. :p

revreddy: don't most of the winmain builds with the full build string in the watermark say "For testing purposes only" instead of "Evaluation copy"?

I think they put "evaluation copy" since 7077 was an escrow build. But for official public builds, they always use "for testing purposes only. Build 7xxx" without using the full string. Based on that picture alone, 7106 seems to be newer than what the public may get. Someone has to download it and confirm. Until that, we are zombies as atleeit said.

I will look at setup.exe dig signature and post a screeny if i can.

OK here's a pic of the setup.exe

I still don't know if anyone can release a legit build with or without it being properly signed, If someone edits 7106 build then the signature breaks, maybe this time is what happened? I cannot say i'm right.

Possible both Chinese x86 and x64 have been modified, but don't know. Could be fake or real, someone will verify it, But here is what x86 and x64 look like.

That doesn't look too promising. :(

Well you don't HAVE to get new builds, you choose to. I'd rather be swamped with new builds than be starved of them but that's just me

True, what I meant was that I did constantly get new builds all the time, but I finally settled with 7068, and am reading over the changelog and reviews the newest build, and I'm thinking hard before I get it this time.

I've been having some major issues with my wifi cutting out at high torrenting speeds, so I'm hoping "improved networking" fixes that.

Here is 7077 VS 7106 Pics

Possible picture is real, by the way i put this together in paint, but don't know about leaks. Still waiting till someone tests.

Why on earth someone would want to fake a Chinese build in Traditional and Simplified is beyond me when most of the population uses English builds. To me that would be wasting alot of time to create the fake, waste of Easter happiness lol.

Was every build including 7068 all digitally signatured even if the builds were modified?

The below images are my system VS supposibly 7106 version in Simplified Chinese, don't know if it's real, let's wait abit longer.

I need to apologise, for taking my stand so firmly, but i seriously belived it wasnt any chance of being real. However i opened boot.wim (cant open install.wim yet) and all dlls and files seems to be 7106 version. So its eather great job faking it or its most likely real... however chines version doesnt help a lot of people here ;(

Just because it's not on TAP doesn't mean it can't leak, it's certainly not the first time it has happened with Windows Betas.

i do understand that ofc... but odds that happens are small, thats why i tought its fake in 1st place.

stupid. Yes im going to complain. for the majority of us this does us no good. might as well have not wasted their time.
Slight sidenote: There are more Chinese speaking people on this planet than English speaking people, so it depends on your definition of 'majority' :p

(There are even more people in China with an internet connection than people living in the US, for instance)

Ah hell, ANOTHER one? Seems like I'm spending more time installing new builds and tweaking things again afterwards than actually using the damn thing!

Wait, we're supposed to be using it? :|

    • 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.
