Windows 7 build 6593

Windows 7 build 6593 is a build of Windows 7, which was shared on 25 October 2024.
==New features and changes==
*More references of Windows Vista have been changed to Windows 7. Vista is still referenced in Windows Media Center and the about box for the Windows Mail application.
*The system now uses the Deployment Imaging and Servicing Tool (DISM) to install Windows.
*The context menu entry for the Gadget Gallery is now placed between the Display and Personalize items.
*Minor visual tweaks were made to elements within Windows Explorer.
*Windows Media Player has been updated with a new color scheme.
*Some Control Panel items have been changed since build 6519.
===Console===
This is the first known build to outsource console window handling from the Windows subsystem server process (csrss.exe) to the new Console Window Host (conhost.exe) component. Upon launching a console application, the Windows subsystem now automatically spawns a console host process in the user's security context, which then creates and owns the console window. Before the change, console windows were created and owned directly by subsystem process itself, which runs in a highly privileged security context. Any changes to the console subsystem therefore had to be carefully curated as to not impact the security of the system.
This change enabled several minor improvements to the console subsystem. Files can now be dragged and dropped onto console windows. This functionality was previously disabled in Windows Vista, as it presented a security risk with the previous architecture. Additionally, console windows are now properly themed as opposed to deliberately falling back to the classic theme due to csrss.exe being exempt from theming for security and reliability purposes.
===Bluepill enhancements===
The Superbar no longer shows the application's name and only displays just the icon by default (though it is possible to enable this behavior in older builds starting from build 6519 by editing the registry).
===Superbar===
The superbar can be enabled by merging the following content into the registry, then restarting Windows.
