US Edition‘You Did Say How Much You Loved Vista’ – Microsoft’s Most Hated Operating System Pops up in Windows 11’s Weirdest Glitch Ever
- On June 13, 2025, the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26200.5651 released to the Beta and Dev channels unexpectedly triggered the classic startup melody from Windows Vista during boot-up instead of the standard sound.
- This change resulted from a confirmed bug after Windows Insiders reported the issue and Microsoft added it to their list of known problems in the release notes.
- Brandon LeBlanc, a Microsoft Senior Program Manager, admitted on X that he caused the glitch while having fun with Windows sound files and joked, "You did say how much you loved Vista."
- Microsoft described the bug as a "delightful blast from the past" in this week's flight and assured users they are working on a fix that will prevent it from persisting.
- The timing coincides with Apple's macOS 26 Tahoe release featuring a controversial Glass-like design reminiscent of Windows Vista's Aero, making the startup sound issue an interesting coincidence.
