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.

I experienced this bug in the beta (7000) actually.. it may or may not have the same cause but it looks like the bug is still there sometimes :(

Another possible bug I had that was fixed. Windows 7048 + 7-zip and uTorrent (I never used 7-zip when I was on 7000 so I am unsure if the bug was present in 7000 or was due to my upgrade).

Basically when I had 7-zip installed on 7048, if I right-clicked a downloaded file in uTorrent and hit "Open File Location" it would open a 32-bit window (or so it seemed) I could not use the 64-bit 7-zip to unzip a zipped file in that window, and that window would NOT merge with the default Windows Explorer folder on the taskbar.....I had both the default explorer window AND another window that was opened with uTorrent. I could fix this by installing the 32-bit version of 7-zip. Anyway, come 7100 I did a fresh install and I now use uTorrent, 7-zip (64-bit version only) and when I open a folder through uTorrent I am actually able to use 7-zip (context menu is there, vs. 7048 where the context menu was missing if I only had 64-bit installed).

So it was either an OS bug that was fixed in 7100 (possible sooner, somewhere between 7048 and 7100) or a bug caused by my upgrading from 7000->7048 that was fixed with the clean install.

That being said I dont know if it would be something to list unless others could confirm this behavior on older builds, but it was definitely a "bug" that was nice to see fixed on my system.

I'm not fond of the WinSat bug. I somehow doubt my 150 GB VelociRaptor drive only scores a 5.9.
Yeah, thats the same score my 500GB (the win7 partition is only 125GB) standard 7200 SATA drive gets.....definitely not accurate for your drive.

Hope this is a bug, better be!

Created custom folders under the start menu " which by the way I hate that I cannot use classic" but that's a whole other story.

After filling the folders with links going out to programs I open IE8 and under favorites all my links in the start menu are there with the programs. I'm able to launch them from the IE8 browser.

Wow pretty sure that shouldn't be there, better not be anyways!

Edit: version 7100

WMP completely destroyed some of my music. I thought the MP3 bug was pre-patched. About 1/4 of my music got untagged and a few songs had some of the audio chopped off!

I think I spent 2 hours retagging stuff.

Lots of my music got screwed up too!!!! But I think it was while I had Vista. Dunno if iTunes did something, or if it was the beta for SP2, for instance. DAMN IT.

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.

I think you miss the point of how this works. It is NOT a bug. It is just an arbitrary score.

If MS were handing out 7.9's now, where can they go in 2 years when cards are 3 times more powerful?

Forget what score you used to get as that was during the tuning period, what you are seeing now is the true score.

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.

Since you leave your applications running for lengths of time similar to me, I'm wondering if you see the problem where sometimes, randomly, you don't get the thumbnail preview windows at all -- any of them. Instead, you get a tooltip! That's the height of annoyance. I was hoping that was just a Beta 1 thing, but it's not.

Not sure if it's a bug or it was present in previous bugs but in Vista SP1 x86 the arrow keys on my keyboard could be used to jump in a movie a certain amount of time every time an arrow was pressed. In this build the arrow keys do nothing. I'm thinking it is eaither a bug, they changed the keys to something else or they removed the ability altogether.

Same, but it isn't unprovoked, it usually happens, for example, if you open a game and the theme is set to basic because the game doesn't support Aero, when your game is done, all/most of the thumbnails will be empty.

I disagree....my 4850 gets 6.8 through the gaming graphics test, it also gets 6.8 on the aero graphics test. Your telling me aero is just as intensive as gaming graphics are? Sorry but I find that difficult to believe.

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.

Or it's scaled to compare the newer GPU's on the market.

About time, a proper Windows 7 bug post without those gate crashers and their "my non microsoft software don't work" and "my driver don't work" comments which have nothing to do with microsoft and windows 7.

It was getting rediculous. I seriously hope it stays like this and people don't come here with their crappy non windows 7 bug issues.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
