I compared the creation dates and the size of the files of version 0.1.7.5 (second edition) and 0.1.7.5.1 - they are the same! 10/31/2018. In vain I spent time on testing 0.1.7.5.1. Therefore, the launch of the daemon on 7-ke was not fixed.
Daemons for windows are now functioning once again, and sync is much faster. Wallets can now launch without the cp850 encoding error they were encountering prior to the update.
Right, I also feel the same as you. The wallet works quickly and without obstacles. Making performance lighter and easier. Hopefully there will be more updates that can make users feel happy.
