Показать описание
After a few empty weeks, the Canary Channel finally got a new build on Friday - 26040.

This build finally updates the setup experience when booting from installation media to be more consistent with the upgrade experience. There are many more changes including a new Task Manager icon, a new file compression wizard, an expanded Audio Clarity feature and the beginnings of an Automatic Display Switch graphics setting - as well an early version of visually refreshed taskbar thumbnails and some updates to the live captions UI.
