Microsoft has announced updates to Windows 11 stable versions (22H2 and 23H2), which are separate updates from the operating system’s core version (not 24H1).
Several features have been previously announced and tested with the Insider group, and Microsoft will gradually release each feature at different times and provide updates to users in groups until completion in April.
Enhancements to Copilot allow for more system commands, such as viewing IP information, battery status, emptying the recycle bin, and enabling accessibility features.
Additional Copilot plugins connect to external services like OpenTable, Shopify, Kayak, Klarna, and Instacart, as well as Microsoft’s Power Automate app for streamlining workflows across Office suite apps.
The Windows Photos app introduces the Generative Erase feature, which uses AI to remove objects from photos.
Clipchamp, a video editing app, adds a silence removal feature to eliminate quiet segments, commonly used in video editing tasks.
Voice Shortcuts enable recording voice commands for the system to perform automated tasks upon hearing the specified voice command.
Android mobile devices can now serve as webcams for PCs.
Windows Hotpatching reduces rebooting requirements when updating monthly security patches.
