Do we know of any changes (I know we aren't expecting anything drastic, but, hey, might as well ask. :)), and where can we find this build?
You won't be able to download the build yet. Just wait for it to make its rounds. We're not allowed to give you links anyway.

No ones installed it yet, it's only leaked in the last 30 mins or so, so just wait. I'm downloading the x86 version, and I'm on 13.5%, but I'll have to stop soon and finish tomorrow.

I seriously doubt I will use leaked betas again, considering all the debug code is back and no updated, I going to keep RC until RC2 or RTM.
There are updates. I've got updates for 7127 on my other PC through Windows Update. But then again, that build was distributed.

HAHA and you think RC (and previous BETA), that basickly is PUBLIC DEBUG dont involve DEBUG code? continue to live in your dreams.... im sure even RTM will have pretty much same DEBUG code as it is now.

I have never seen Microsoft release a checked build as retail...

yes and those dialoges in vista "send this error msg to MS for future reference" (or something similar) isnt actualy debug code? :)

i have no idea why some builds are bigger and some builds are smaller, however im sure its not the point in debug code (and no i cba to compare size to size of files, if someone can be, be my guest), however if it is and debug code and we will get 200mb less "crap" in RTM then more power to the people! but im still not convinced. Debug code is fine, if it actualy helps solve problems, no matter RTM or not, no matter how many testers they have, they still can test 101...th hardware combinations.

Info on 7037 :cool:

No, that's part of Error Reporting. It just does that when an app crashes to give you a chance to let Microsoft figure out what's causing the crash.

Debug (checked) builds have symbol file references in them and check every buffer used for overflows. It's very slow.

Checked and Free Build Differences Two distinct builds of the NT-based operating systems are available:

The free build (or retail build)The free build of Microsoft Windows is used in production environments. The free build of the operating system is built with full compiler optimizations. When the free build discovers correctable problems, it continues to run. Distribution media containing the free build of the operating system do not have any special labels ? in other words, the CD containing the free build will just be labeled with the Windows version name, and no reference to the type of build.

The b><checked buildb> (or b><debug buildb>)b>The purpose of the checked build of Microsoft Windows is to make identifying and diagnosing operating-system-level problems easier. The checked build differs from the free build in the following ways:

Distribution media containing the checked build are clearly labeled "Debug/Checked Build." The checked build distribution medium contains the checked version of the operating system, plus checked versions of HALs, drivers, file systems, and even many user-mode components. For information about obtaining this build, see Obtaining the Checked Build.

Because the checked build contains fewer optimizations and more debugging checks than the free build, the checked build is both larger in size and slower to execute than the free build. As a result, the free build is used in production environments unless it is necessary to use the checked build to identify serious problems.

If the build name has "fre" in it it doesn't have debug code in it except for the few extra feedback tools they turn on to catch bugs in the build.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
