Where Can I Report a Bug in Windows 7?
I think I found critical bug in Windows 7I don't know but it looks like a bug for me. It is about remote desktop and login on to servers throug it. I am working on 7. When I am logon to one of my servers (win2003) through remote desktop and when I leave it for a 5 min it will lock it self with is correct and wright. Problem is when I leave my Pc on over night with remote desktop on when I am cominng back in the morning I am waking up a pc login on to system (over night win7 locking it self up) and than sudenly remote desktop is logged on to a server (remote desktop is showing information that is reconecting to a server and login on itself without asking for password). I don't know is that have any sense. But it looks serious. I have checked on different user on my lokal pc (i have logon as normal user-lower rights and logon to server through remote desktop, left it till it gets in to sleep, wake it up and it log me straight in to server)

I'm sorry, but FZB's post is NOT a suitable answer. It appears that Vivian Xing marked it as an answer without any checking whatsoever. The question was: "Where can I report a bug in Windows 7?". The proposed answer is to use connect.microsoft.com. Connect does not allow bugs to be reported against Windows 7 - or at least it's not on the list for which feedback is enabled, which appears to be the same thing - so the answer is incorrect. There is a serious long-standing Windows bug (dating from XP, at least) of network drive mappings failing at startup because the mapping is attempted before a wifi network connection is made. This is serious, as it prevents automatic back-up programs from working unless the drive is manually (or by script) accessed after logon. It is well documented in the technet forums, but no solution is known. I can find no Microsoft facility for reporting this as a bug. Why is Windows 7 not open for feedback on Connect? What other methods are available? Do we all have to go to Linux just to be able to report OS bugs?

Wrong answer - please vote down and unmark as answer. MSDN IS NOT helpful at all!!!

To report bug, contact the MS Support. They investigate it and check if a hotfix is needed to be created to fix it."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

if you think you found a bug. then please give us the detailed repro steps. create a new thread with symptom such as error or the issue you are facing. tell us what it has caused you, the impact of the issue. if other people also complaining they are facing the same problem, i believe the MS engineer will note that.

The lack of a valid response to this thread by anyone from Microsoft and the fact that there's lack of a way to actually report bugs against THE MOST CURRENT version of Windows is exactly part of the reason why Microsoft is now facing competition against Apple. Considering that Windows is supposed to be a flagship product, it is absolutely ludicrous that a company like Microsoft does not accept bug reports against any of its software, let alone Windows. Using the Technet forums as the 'Official bug reporting mechanism' is absolutely insane. How is anyone supposed to manage this? Worse, you have people like Vivian Xing who point people in the absolute wrong direction (intentionally?). There needs to be an official bug reporting mechanism besides 'calling technical support' (of which they charge you to talk to them). Why should I pay Microsoft to report a bug? Insanity from an insane company. Why the general populous (let alone businesses) continue to put up with rickety old operating systems with extremely poor support is a mystery to me.

Good rant, I totally agree.

The only way I can contact MS Customer Support is to pay them £46!! So another unhelpful answer. It's almost as if Bill's sitting in his office with his fingers in his ears going "la la la la, bugs? what bugs?". There's a bug in either Creative Labs 64-bit drivers or the MS interface to them when running an X-Fi series sound card under Windows 7 from an SSD. 32-bit seems OK as does a mechanical hard disk. There are lots of angry, frustrated customers. This problem has been known for at least a year and no fix in sight. It may be a Creative Labs problem, it may be a Windows 7 problem, but will someone from MS please look into it and do something? CL are equally unhelpful. There are at least 5 different threads on 3 different forum sites (2 on CL, one on sevenforums.com and 2 on answers.microsoft.com) that I know of. I'm fed up being told to "report it" (done that 5 times on the forums), "reinstall the drivers" (lost count - no good) and all the other obvious things that any long time user knows to do, and I've been using computers since 1963.
