Something else I've noticed is the new splash screen for Live Mail which looks pretty great and fits the overal theme of Messenger quite well. I've also noticed that all list hovers haven't been changed to the ones Windows 7 uses. This looks way better as well and more consistent (Y)

Pics?

I'm confused.... The Official MS build is the same as we all have now. But where is Facebook chat?

Somebody said something about enabling it on facebook and linking your account. Check it out on liveside.net

Yeah. I got told it has not been turned on server side. But should do in a few hours. So for everyone wanting to be ready,

Go to your Windows Live Social Settings

On the Facebook Page check "Chat with Facebook friends" (Clear cache if you don't see that option).

Connect to FB, Apply and wait.

Looks like I just got the Facebook chat integration onto Messenger. Just go to Manage your services, then select facebook, then a check-box should appear asking you if you want to integrate Facebook chat into Messenger, follow the steps, save, and in a few mins you can chat with your facebook friends in Messenger.

I enabled it in settings, but can't chat with FB friends on Messenger.

EDIT: I was just talking to a FB friend, and it just popped up on MSN :D YEY!

They really messed up the blocked list didn't they. Someone I've deleted and blocked just messaged me and I can't even find the proper settings for it.

Yeah, they changed it now to "Appear offline to this person".

But to see who you are appearing offline too, click the list in social view where you choose who you show and choose " People who I am appearing offline too".

For those who have the error with the connection not found try install with old installer(15.3).Its working fine,it installed 15.4.

Yeah, not everyone is keeping every installer, especially web one, on his HDD ... Thanks MS!

Could someone upload it?

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
