It's best to create a new thread for bugs only, so they don't get drowned out by the discussion in the other thread.

Please report:

- bugs that are new to 7100

- bugs that already were in older builds (which ones?) and are still around in 7100

- bugs that were in older builds and at least seem to be fixed

I'll start with the bugs I found:

Windows Taskbar Thumbnail bug - new (?)

I noticed this today for the first time - the taskbar preview image didn't work properly, as you can see below. Only restoring and minimising the window again fixed it.

I never had this happen in a previous build, so I guess it's new.

Windows Colour Picker bug - first appeared in 7068

I first noticed this bug in 7068, and it reared its ugly head in every build since (including 7106).

In the Windows Colour Picker dialog, it will not allow you to enter more than two digits into any of the text boxes. This makes a proper adjustment of colours impossible.

WinSat bug - buggy since 7057

Yes, WinSat is still buggy in 7100 :pinch:

I get same score as in 7106 - meaning Aero Graphics has still the same bug and reports 6.8 rather than 7.9.

It reported it properly up to 7048, then nosedived to 5.9 in 7057 and recovered a little to 6.8 in 7106. I wonder when they will fix this :blink:

Gadget bug - around since 7068

This sidebar gadget bug has been around since 7068 and still isn't fixed in 7100.

It concerns the Anime PC Meter gadget (which worked just fine in 7057) and probably still others out there.

The display is buggy, the flyouts don't work, and the gadget alone causes an abnormally high cpu load - the load in the below screenshot is of the gadget alone!

Windows Taskbar Icon bugs - not fixed since 7000

When you try to change the icons for the apps pinned to your taskbar, the new icons are not displayed. It takes a long time (around a day whenever I tried it) until the icon is finally miraculously updated to the new icon, until then only the original icon is shown in the taskbar.

If you set the taskbar to "Combine when full", you'll find that icon handling here is broken even worse :pinch:

Besides the icon changing bug, when you launch an app from a pinned taskbar icon here, it will *always* display the old, original icon left of the text, and *never* the new icon you chose for it.

I found two bugs:

-The Windows Live Messenger jump list doesn't sync with my actual status. It appears as though I'm on a different status or signed in when I'm really not.

-Sometimes right before a sound is about to play, I hear a small crackle or pop. But I don't think it's Windows fault. It must be something with my driver. I'm using the Vista Conexant High Definition Audio driver from HP by the way for the dv8000t model.

Are these new bugs in 7100, or were they already around in an earlier build?

New bug:

If I was to type something into the start menus search function, on older versions of Windows 7 (and vista) when pressing enter would launch the first result or application found, in 7100 this only happens if you type the actual executable name of an application (regedit, mspaint, etc)

For example, I used to type Photos and press enter and Photoshop would open, now I have to press the down arrow key multiple times to select it before I can open it the old fashioned way.

That doesn't happen to me. I just tried it out.

Works for me.

If I were to press enter right now, Photoshop would not open, I'd have to press the down arrow key a few times to select it.

Thumbnail Taskbar Bug - Caused when a theme is changed.

Windows Colour Picker bug - Works fine here. 3 digits and all.

WinSat bug - You overrate your hardware.

Gadget bug - Tell the author. MS isn't going to modify windows for a lone gadget.

Windows Taskbar Icon bugs - Clear the thumbnail cache.

- Combine when full - What?

Rapidshare? Lol sorry, I lost ALL my stuff due to a nas server failure a few weeks ago. Desperate to start my collection again. Anyway back on topic.

The issue seams to be related to jDownloader, if I close it, I can use 7's search bar as normal. jDownloader is Java based so I'll asume it's something to do with that. Java has never been a particularly good language.

WinSat bug - You overrate your hardware.

I disagree.

Windows 7000 - 7.9 in Graphics Aero

Windows 7048 - 7.9 in Graphics Aero

Windows 7100 - 6.8 in Graphics Aero

I'm running the same driver that I ran in 7048 and I lost 1.1 points in the Graphics Aero score. So either they changed something extremely drastic in the way 7100 scores the graphics card for Aero, or there is a bug.

EDIT: I have a small bug of my own involving Hibernation and Everest.

Sometimes when my computer boots out of hibernation, Everest is not started (when it was before I hibernated it). Even when running it as a task it sometimes disappears after hibernation. Even when setting the task to trigger when the computer wakes from hibernation (via the event log) it isn't always running when I resume from hibernation.

Its the only application that does it but from what I have seen it doesn't always load when I wake it from hibernation. Don't know if its an Everest issue (not sure how it could be honestly) or if its a Windows 7 Hibernation issue. It has been present since the public beta and still does it in 7100. If anyone has any suggestions to try please let me know, its not a major issue but its an inconsistency that gets on my nerves.

.

I don't have this color palette bug you mentioned.

So far, I haven't noticed any bugs. All of the bugs I previously found seem to be squashed.

I found two bugs:

-The Windows Live Messenger jump list doesn't sync with my actual status. It appears as though I'm on a different status or signed in when I'm really not.

-Sometimes right before a sound is about to play, I hear a small crackle or pop. But I don't think it's Windows fault. It must be something with my driver. I'm using the Vista Conexant High Definition Audio driver from HP by the way for the dv8000t model.

Did you read my solution to your problem in the other thread?

Come on, lets be honest, it makes no damned difference what your score is for Graphics Aero. As long as it's over 2.0, it'll work fine.

I'm not saying it matters, but a bug is a bug.......chances are it will be fixed by RTM.....from what I have heard RC basically means all "show-stopping" are gone, which seems to be the case. Just because the Graphics Aero score means practically nothing doesn't mean its ok to have the score bugged.

that "taskbar" bug happens because the window you had opened has timed out. Any window that you open and has not been opened for a prolonged period of time will no longer show preview. I get this ALL THE TIME. Since i leave my rig on 24x7 i leave applications and folders open but minimized or not in focus, when i hover over the ones i haven't used in like 4hrs + they only show the icon.

So thats why that happens.

has happened in all builds.

There's an option in System Properties/Advanced/Performance to save the preview thumbnail in the list of visuals that you want enabled. This is the only one disabled by default :)

Thumbnail Taskbar Bug - Caused when a theme is changed.

I didn't change the theme or anything. It just happened randomly.

WinSat bug - You overrate your hardware.

Nonsense. Aero Graphics rating worked fine up to 7048, getting 7.9 as it should.

In 7057, WinSat went on the fritz and took a nosedive to 5.9. On 7106 (and 7100) they obviously attempted to fix it, but didn't quite manage, so it went up to 6.8, but not to 7.9 as it should.

Gadget bug - Tell the author. MS isn't going to modify windows for a lone gadget.

The Author has nothing to do with it, this bug is MS' fault alone :pinch:

The gadget worked perfectly fine in 7057. In 7068 MS introduced that bug into their gadget system, and the very same gadget that worked fine in 7057 stopped working properly in 7068. The bug has been around in any builds since then.

I see... however, the window in question didn't have a long period of inactivity, as I had used it last ten minutes ago (at the time of screenshot).

I had that already enabled before that missing taskbar thumbnail appeared.

Like I said, it was the first time it appeared, and it didn't happen since.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Is a fast food restaurant a good metric to compare against?
    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
