The most recent version, Windows 11 Build 26040, is now in the testing phase on the Canary channel. New features include an automated screen capture tool for seamless transfer between mobile and PC, 80Gbps USB support, and other enhancements. Explore the top three updates in version 26040.
Edit screenshots from your mobile device on a computer.
The convenience of accessing and editing your Android device’s recent photos and screenshots directly on your PC’s Capture Tool is a great new feature that streamlines the integration between your phone and computer.
By following basic instructions in Settings > Bluetooth and devices > Mobile devices, you can link your Android phone to your PC to instantly receive notifications whenever a new photo or screenshot is taken. This feature eliminates the need for remote capture; simply click and transfer the photo to a desired folder or photo editing application.
Windows installation has been recently updated.
The Windows operating system Media configuration interface was updated with a more modern and streamlined look, but it does not impact the installation process.

The basic functions are still available in the bare operating system setup, ensuring alignment with the process for upgrading and setting up devices that are already using Windows OS.
Insiders interested in testing out this new setup can download the ISOs for Build 26040 and do a fresh installation on their PCs or Virtual Machines (VM).
USB support with a speed of 80Gbps.
The latest Windows 11 build now includes support for the newest USB standard, USB 80Gbps. This update enhances performance to 80Gbps on devices like the Razer Blade 18, which is powered by Intel Core 14th Gen HX-series mobile processors.
This advancement allows for the development of new types of screens, memory, and fast connections, all while remaining fully compatible with older gadgets.
When can we expect it to be accessible?
The latest update is now available on the Canary version, which is for Windows insiders testing new features. It is recommended to subscribe for updates on a non-production machine.
Microsoft will release the update for everyone once the tests are finished, expected in the upcoming weeks. Stay connected to the Net Workshop, our channels, and social media for updates. Also, follow the dedicated Windows page.
