Unchanged since Windows 8, this screen - the first contact with the operating system - has finally been modernized.
Over the years, Windows has evolved, but nothing extraordinary. From time to time, Microsoft opts instead to launch a new version (7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11... or even 12?) to show that the change is more radical. However, there is one element of the Windows interface that could seem unchanging, as if frozen in the past. This element is the first contact you have with the operating system when you decide to install it. Yes, this is the installation screen, which was introduced for the release of Windows 8 and has therefore remained unchanged for over ten years.

Revealed by XDA-Developers.com, the information is linked to the deployment of Windows 11 build 26040. With this update, there's no longer any question of that magnificent purple on most of the installation screen, a color that made sense with the interface and choices around Windows 8, but which clashes a little with the flat design increasingly widely used on Windows 11. The change isn't just cosmetic, either, since the installation screen now places much more emphasis on the choice between " repair my PC " and " install Windows 11 ", whereas in the past, repair was barely visible. Another new element is the presence of a confirmation from the user acknowledging that they have understood that " all their data will be deleted from the computer ".
As you can imagine, Windows 11 version 26040 does more than just change the installation screen. With this new version, Microsoft adds a new option for viewing photos from a smartphone. There are also new file compression options and an optimized Nearby Share function. Other, less significant changes have also been implemented, but it's worth noting that Windows 11 now includes an option to improve audio/video calls, by removing background noise in particular.
