I've noticed that when attempting to preview images using the Preview pane, they stay locked to a certain size (possibly no larger than a 256x256 pixel area) as opposed to previous builds that scaled the image as large as needed to fill the preview pane. See example here:

Windows%207%20RC%20Preview%20pane.png

Also every now and then the thumbnails don't show up. Some, or all icons appear as blank. This usually happens inside the pictures library. This happened while Windows Live Photo Gallery was set to handle images; for now I reverted it to the photo viewer to see if the problem will go away.

Yep, it's probably either a bug with the OS, or caused by either one of these applications that I installed on a fresh install of build 7100 x86 on my laptop:

- Link Shell Extension

- Messenger Plus Live

- Silverlight

- Windows Live Essentials, Sign-in Assistant, Upload Tool

(note that for Live Essentials, only Messenger, Mail, and Silverlight were selected for installation)

I've got the Live Suite installed as well: Mail, Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, Sync.

Link Shell Extension

I'd suspect that 3rd party Explorer extensions would be the most likely culprit. I have Silverlight installed as well, but it shouldn't be interacting with x64 Explorer.

That probably leaves it down to one source. If we rule out Link Shell Extension since slinky333 has this bug, and since most people here also have Live Essentials, could it be Messenger Plus Live?

Weird thing is back in build 7068 on my laptop, this never happened. So maybe it's a random OS bug after all.

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By Taliseian · Posted

      There is a long thread (128pgs and counting) that I've been following over at ElevenForums that has a method for updating Secure Boot even if there is no BIOS upgrade. I've used this method and had zero issues. NOTE:  I do not take any responsibility if this or any other Secure Boot method bricks your system -- YMMV!  Read carefully before using!
