Hello,

Have any of you guys notice a speed decrease with it? I just installed it and now it takes like 10 secs. to open a program. I have a brand new computer. Whats up with this?

After i installed sp2 i defragged my reg and boot drive.

this may help m8

Hmmm, I havn't defragged or anything yet after a fresh install and it the os still feels pretty snappy even with: "Diskeeper has completed analysis of this volume and found 2668 fragmented files and/or directories and 9277 excess fragments".

I bet once I start installing those 1GB+ games it'll start slowing down, even with a defrag.

hi guyz,well i have search the neowin forum to find the post where it was shown how to fix that sp2 TCP connection limits...i didnt find it..can any'1 help me plz?

Nevermind guyz,just found it,it was right under my nose all that time!,guess its really time to sleep now...

i||uSi0n^

That's what I feel whenever an update is posted in windowsupdate.

Does SP2 contain a .NEt installation?

No it doesnt contain a .NET installation (.NET Framework). There was an installation for it with SP1 but a diff folder on the CD, its probably the same with the SP2 cd which i still havnt recieved.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
