Microsoft, the magician of the tech world, is quietly donning an energy-saving invisibility cloak over the sleek new star of Windows 11, vowing to make it shine with greater longevity on the stage of the digital world. When you're holding an ultra-slim notebook with a Snapdragon X processor, it's already a leader in battery life, but Microsoft isn't satisfied with that, they've decided to give Windows 11 a ‘green revolution’ from the inside out.
Just one early morning this week, Microsoft unveiled Build 27686 Preview on the Canary Channel's Mystery Stage as if by magic. This release, more than a simple update iteration, is the culmination of Microsoft engineers' wisdom and sweat, crafted to extend your digital adventure. In this new version, Microsoft has used the ‘battery life extension technique’ to deeply optimise the underlying system, as if it has fitted Windows 11 with a pair of invisible wings so that it can fly freely for a longer period in a world with limited battery power. All this is waiting for you to experience it for yourself and tell Microsoft whether your magic journey is as you want it to be through the Feedback Centre.
What's even more exciting is that Microsoft has also given you a ‘magic wand’ for power management. In Build 27686 Preview, you can act like a wizard and flexibly set up exclusive power modes for your devices according to different scenarios and needs. Imagine sitting at your desk with the power cord firmly plugged into the socket, you can easily switch to the ‘Best Performance’ mode, allowing Windows 11 to fire on all cylinders, whether it's dealing with complex work projects or playing large games, all with ease. When you pack your bag and set off on an unknown journey, you can switch to the ‘Optimal Power Efficiency’ mode with just one click, and Windows 11 will instantly transform into an energy-saving masterpiece, carefully calculating every cent of power to accompany you further.
Such a change is not only a leap in technology but also Microsoft's deep insight and thoughtful response to user needs. Like an attentive travelling companion, it is always ready to adjust the pace for you, so that every exploration is full of possibilities and surprises.
Of course, the Build 27686 version is not just a magician of range and power management, it is also a versatile artist, adding more brilliant colours and delicate strokes to the world of Windows 11.
On the stage of HDR (High Dynamic Range), Microsoft skilfully kicks off the visual feast. It's like a master of light and shadow, sculpting every frame of the screen to life, making blacks deeper, whites purer, and transitions between colours as subtle and realistic as gradations in nature. Whether you're watching a high-definition movie, playing a 3A game, or immersing yourself in a sea of professionally-designed colours, the addition of HDR makes Windows 11 the most beautiful landscape in front of your eyes.
Microsoft also sends a warm embrace to those who are still clinging to the old FAT32 ship. the improvements to FAT32 are like putting a modern navigation system on an old ship so that it can move steadily forward even in the digital ocean. This means that even if your storage device still retains the ancient format, Windows 11 can easily navigate it, making your data migration and backup more convenient and hassle-free.
Then there's the Windows Sandbox - the secret garden hidden behind Windows 11. It's like a secure and isolated sandbox that gives you the freedom to explore unknown software, viruses or malware without compromising the security of your main system. Imagine yourself wearing an invisible protective suit, holding the key to exploration, and stepping into a virtual world full of unknowns and challenges. Here, you can boldly try, learn, and even make mistakes without worrying about any impact on the real world. Windows Sandbox is your best partner and guardian for exploring the digital world.
