Microsoft is introducing significant storage-related enhancements in the latest Windows 11 Insider builds, specifically targeting the Dev and Beta channels. The most notable change is the removal of the 30-year-old 32GB limit for FAT32 partitions, which has persisted since the Windows 95 era. Users can now format volumes up to 2TB using FAT32 via the command line. Additionally, the update addresses long-standing performance issues in the Settings app, making the disk properties and storage management interfaces significantly faster and more responsive.
