Sometimes the big news is made out of nothing. And sometimes trivia is really big news, at least if you look at it with a twinkle in your eye: Microsoft has finally managed to revise the Windows 11 volume indicator visually.
This popup has been a running gag since Windows 10 came out, because Microsoft simply took the look from Windows 8 at the time. Over the years, Windows users have repeatedly requested a revision, but the old design has also remained unchanged in Windows 11.
