Exclusive Copilot+ PC Features Previewed in Windows 11 Update
Microsoft teases new AI-driven settings in Windows 11 preview, hinting at future Copilot+ PC exclusives.
Guess what? Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 preview build is packing a nifty little surprise—a fresh ‘Actions’ setting that’s all about supercharging your apps. Spotted in the 26120.3576 build for the Dev Channel (shoutout to the eagle-eyed folks on Windows forums for digging this up), this feature was playing hard to get at first. Now, it’s out in the open, showing off its tricks with apps like Photos and Paint. Think next-level editing: blurring backgrounds, zapping unwanted objects, and even a visual search powered by Bing in Photos. Paint’s not left out, either, with its own background removal magic.
Curious how to get your hands on these goodies? Just hop into Settings > Apps > Actions in the Windows 11 preview. It’s a game-changer, really, bringing AI-powered tasks that were once the stuff of dreams (or, you know, premium software) right into the mix. And here’s the kicker: this ‘Actions’ feature seems to be cousins with the ‘Click To Do’ intelligent text actions, a Copilot+ PC exclusive. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Are we looking at the future of Windows OS, where AI features are as common as, well, updates?
Speaking of the future, Microsoft’s got big plans. Starting May, they’re rolling out a bunch of Copilot+ features—Recall, To Do, and AI in Windows Search, to name a few. And that’s just the appetizer; more proactive Copilot features are on the menu for later this year. The ‘Actions’ setting? It’s not officially confirmed for the public yet, but imagine it weaving AI right into the OS, much like ‘Click To Do’. Just a heads-up, though: you’ll need a Copilot+ PC with an NPU that can handle at least 40 TOPS to ride this wave.
Right now, the preview’s only flaunting two apps, but the possibilities? Endless. Imagine third-party apps joining the ‘Actions’ party. Now that’s what I call a versatile and dynamic user experience—Windows just got a whole lot more interesting.
