📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a bug in Windows 7 build 7077 where users cannot permanently disable Aero and switch to the classic or Windows Basic themes, as the themes revert or blink back to Aero. The original poster and others confirm that while selecting Windows Basic temporarily disables Aero, it doesn’t hold, and the classic theme fails to load in this build, unlike in earlier versions. Overall, the sentiment suggests this is a known bug specific to build 7077, with some users finding workarounds by choosing Classic mode, though issues with theme persistence remain.

Hello everyone

I have noticed that i cant disable aero in win7 build 7077 like used to. I can choose the windows basic, which will disable it, but still have the stylelook of vista/win7. However when choosing "windows basic" as we all remember it from windows 2000 it blinks and jumps back to its "windows aero" style/theme no matter what i do.

Any of you got the same? and know why ? its only in 7077 ive noticed this bug.

p.s. im running x86 right now.

cheers.

No my thread says classic, and in my post I explain that basic works as it should, but classic does not :)

I dont know which other ways there are to change the themes other than going through the normal theme changer by right click - personalize and so on. and then to load the theme files directly from the windows folder, same result though.

The classic style wont load.

It did work perfectly in build 6801 and build 7057

Not sure, I'm using build 7086, but have you tried going to Services and disable Themes?
