Other notable improvements in Windows 11 Build 27686

A small but notable visual change has been made in the Disks & Volumes settings. The "Create volume" button for unallocated hard drive space now has rounded corners and a V-shaped icon that animates when clicked.

Build 27686 also adds support for ReFS (Resilient File System) version 3.15. However, it's important to note that Windows still formats partitions using version 3.14, introduced in the previous build (26047).

In addition to these minor improvements, build 27686 officially confirms Microsoft's statement that future Windows 11 releases will remove the 32GB size limit for FAT32 partitions, allowing a maximum size of 2TB.
