Tried all the hints about speed of mouse movement, still cant replicate this issue

Give it time and it will probably happen to you as well. It took 2 days of running this build before it showed up. In all my previous testing of all the leaked builds it showed up no more than 10 times. I also can't force it to happen like some have suggested with quick movements, nor can I make it go away doing that. Only a restart seems to clear it.

I was using 7100 as my main OS ever since its release until a few days ago, and I haven't seen this happen once. I have recently started using 7600 on both and still this issue doesn't prevail. I am using the X64 edition, I don't know if this bug only happens in one or the other but I have never seen it, and I use my computer heavily

You could have missed it. It isn't totally obvious if you don't pay attention. Just look out for it from now on and see if it materializes.

Trust me, if I had seen it, I would have noticed it, I have a pretty strong eye for details like that, and I use my taskbar a lot.

Hmph. I hope this isn't RTM either. Still seems to be quite a few bugs scattered here and there. Kinda annoying and lazy on Microsoft's part, IMHO.

Never seen that on any build I've used.

Currently using build 7600 (RTM leaked) anot seeing it now.d n

this has never happened to me on any build, like someone said it might be a driver problem or something ?

and saying it's lazy and annoying on MS's behalf, the OS isn't officially released, if you dont want little problems like this then dont use pre-RTM builds since there will be bugs like this.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I'm running 7100.

I hope they fix this, it's only a minor thing but it does kinda bug me.

Edit: Also thought I'd add, for me whenever this problem occurs, I lose the thumbnail previews of the taskbar. Anybody experiencing this too?

yes it happens with me also on 7100 x64 as well in various other builds. the solution is to exit or kill explorer.exe & then restart it from task manager. it fixes it up. i thought microsoft would have fixed it by RTM.

My thoughts exactly, which was kind of the point of this thread. 7600 16385 (very possibly the rtm build) and the bug is still there. I don't remember seeing this many visual/ui functionality bugs in vista rtm. Most problems with vista related to raw drivers. This problem is unlikely to be driver related as it is not something that is constantly present nor does it occur frequently (or so it seems for the time being) and appears to be unrelated to specific system config.

Happened to me once or twice before 7264 builds. After that though, never had any more of these bugs and I'm using Windows 7 exclusively. What is your graphics card and what driver are you running? Make sure it is an updated one and not the one included in the build.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
