Microsoft has released the Windows 11 KB5055627 (OS Build 26100.3915) preview for Windows 11 24H2. The gradual rollout distributes updates over time, allowing users to receive them at different times. Recall (preview) is a new feature that saves time by allowing users to quickly find and return to apps, websites, images, or documents by describing their content. To use Recall, users need to opt-in to save snapshots and set up Windows Hello for identity verification. Recall takes regular snapshots, helping users find things faster and easier. Click to Do (preview) is an improved feature that allows users to take immediate action on their screen, saving time by completing tasks inline and getting them to the app that can best complete the job. It also includes intelligent text actions, leveraging Phi Silica, the on-device Small Language Model (SLM) built into Windows. Swiping from the rightmost edge of the display easily opens Click to Do.
Microsoft has released several updates to its Copilot+ PCs, enhancing the user experience on Windows 11. These include improved Windows Search, which uses semantic indexing models and traditional lexical indexing, and improved search for photos stored in the cloud. These improvements continue to function even when users are not online, thanks to the 40+ TOPS NPU onboard Copilot+ PCs.
