Windows 7 Build 7100 RC (Changes/Bugs/Tweaks) Discussion


Recommended Posts

Well The build is quite snappy and does not kill my wifi connection randomly every hour :)

ANY individual talking about obtaining windows 7 from a news group or torrent, or which is faster at obtaining illegal content, torrents or newsgroups, will get a warning or a suspension from the Neowin forums.

You've been warned

In build 7077 I could not use the safely remove hardware feature for my external HD. This has been fixed in build 7100.

Also, and this is hard to say since the diff for common OS tasks between really fast (build 7077) and perceptibly instant was already very small, but I think this build is faster.

This is just build 7077 with small bugfixes. But software/driver developers will develop updates based on 7100, so updating is very important if you want to use the latest software and drivers on WIndows 7 (videocard drivers are very sensitive for example)

wow just look at the amount of new people on this thread!

I thought that too untill i saw the join date, '08 '09 Dannydeman started before you did. Its just because they don't have Avatars or sigs. Posting infrequently doesn't make them "new"

anyway to remove the evaluation copy text in this build. Ive had a few issues with removing it and then windows saying it wasn't genuine in both 77 and 68.

Why do you people want to remove the text in the bottom of the screen? It's hardly intrusive now is it?

Yes it is, there is nothing more than having a sexy wallpaper and having some random text in the bottom right hand corner to ruin it. Microsoft could actually make it worse by making it change to random different colours. :p

I can't believe people still expect to find major visual changes then complain that only bug fixes have been made.

When are people going to get it into their heads that no major visual chances will be appear and it's mostly about fixing bugs and tweaking the UI here and there with minor changes.

Get over it already.

Why is it that i think its not the RC...

i mean... i know its build 7100..

but mayb Microsoft have to finalize it before the release...

as i think there should be a Release Candidate written like Beta was written on build 7100

And The BETA FISH... .i dont think so they will include that. I think they will use the wall they used in the conference.. and i even think They will change the login screen if not then they will make a similar wall that will be the default..

ITS THE RC:.. isnt it suppose to be graphically complete??

Brandon Live practically said that people shouldn't expect a new UI, though, he never dismissed that possible theme tweaks, and even then that's pretty unlikely, RC practically means done.

RC = Graphically compete/feature complete.

Stop thinking you'll get a new UI, because you won't. And the fish wallpaper is probably a placemark for a better wallpaper.

who said a new UI..

Can anybody just tell me if the picture viewer is fixed??? the SLIDESHOW BUTTON...

its suppose to be just like the media player PLAY button isnt it??

if this really is the finalized RC then it will be fixed rite??

i just want a screenshot

Downloaded and Installing now, will report back with anything I've noticed changed after the install :)

O nice man!!!...

Please do post screens.. alot if u can.. speciall a screen of the windows picture viewer :)

i wana c if the buttons are fixed..

else i wont b downloadin.. and wait a little more :)

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
