Abstract:
It is reported that Microsoft is preparing a new default wallpaper for Windows 11, which is expected to be launched in the 2027 system update. This change is also seen by the outside world as a signal that Microsoft may continue to significantly update Windows 11 instead of rushing to release Windows 12.
Since its launch in 2021, Windows 11 has been using the Bloom default wallpaper featuring a blue flower-like shape. Although Microsoft has launched some special versions, most of them are adjustments based on the existing design.
The new wallpaper reported this time is not a simple color change. Although it still retains a visual style similar to Bloom, it is a new image. Microsoft also plans to provide different default wallpapers for Windows 11 professional and commercial versions.
Zac Bowden, senior editor of Windows Central, pointed out that Microsoft’s launch of a new Windows default wallpaper often means that a new generation of operating systems is about to debut, or that the existing system is preparing for a large-scale update.
Based on the information currently available, the latter is more likely, that is, Microsoft is more likely to continue to promote a major revision of Windows 11 in 2027 rather than launch Windows 12.
Microsoft had previously considered launching a new version of Windows on a roughly three-year cycle, but the plan was later adjusted. Several years after the release of Windows 11, Microsoft still chose to add features through updates to existing systems rather than directly changing the name of the operating system.
In addition, Windows 11’s start menu, taskbar and other interfaces are also continuing to be adjusted. If the new default wallpaper is launched simultaneously with these changes, it may become one of the most intuitive changes in the next round of interface updates.
