Windows 7 build 7022 is a build of Windows 7, which was uploaded to BetaArchive on 8 February 2009.[1]
This is the last build to have features locked by Redpill; however it is just a change in Internet Explorer that isn't visible.
Changes[edit | edit source]
Branding[edit | edit source]
- The Business SKU is now properly named "Professional", making all SKU names resemblant to the RTM build.
- Most of the Windows Vista references have been replaced with new ones like the texture in the Getting Started page and the Desktop Gadgets executable icon.

- Several UI elements, such as the playback buttons, have been updated.
Control Panel[edit | edit source]
- The sidebar design of Control Panel has been uplifted, now closely resembling that of the RTM.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
- Slight adjustments were made to the OOBE.

- Graphical PowerShell now bears its final name, "Windows PowerShell ISE" (Integrated Scripting Environment).
- The Aurora, Windows Energy, and Windows Logo screensavers have been removed.
- The size of a small memory dump has been increased to 128 KB.
- HomeGroup received its final icon.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
- On VMware, if Windows Media Center is opened, this build can hang after the intro. At this time, you are not able to reach the security options by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, the Start menu by pressing the ⊞ Win key and to use either Alt+Tab ↹ or ⊞ Win+Tab ↹ to get out of Windows Media Center, so the only option is a hard reset.
- When logging off, shutting down or restarting,
explorer.exe
can hang atPlaying logoff sound...
. Just click on "Force shutdown", "Force restart" or "Force logoff" and then on "Yes". Alternatively, you can disable both logoff and shutdown sounds in the Sound properties.
