Microsoft said Friday that it has begun testing some extremely practical new capabilities for Windows 11, with new features that include Voice Clarity, 80Gbps USB support, and sharing and compression features that accommodate more applications.

Windows 11 Build 26040 is part of the Windows 11 Canary Channel, code that may or may not be released to the general public. As proof of this, Microsoft pulled back a “remote capture” feature that had been released to the Canary and Dev Channels last September, making it part of the Snipping Tool app instead.

While Microsoft hasn’t shipped any groundbreaking features with this release, it has included a number of useful additions that hopefully will make their way to the stable Windows channel this fall.

Remote capture moved to Snipping Tool

Last fall, Microsoft launched a “remote capture” feature that streamlined the process of capturing and editing photos taken with your smartphone. Under the earlier build, if Windows detected that your smartphone had taken a photo, Windows would pop up a notification alerting you, and allowing you to edit it on your PC via the Phone Link app.
