Copilot in Windows Preview

New! This update adds centralized AI-assisted previews, known as Copilot in Windows. This makes Windows 11 the first PC platform to add centralized AI assistance to help you get your work done. Start Menu

New! This update provides richer previews when you hover over files under Recommended on the Start menu. For the first version, thumbnails are not available for all files. Additionally, when you right-click on cloud file recommendations, you can choose to quickly share those files.

new! Over the next few weeks, you may see a new ranking of recently used files in the Recommended section of your Start menu. This ranking takes into account the last time you used the file, the file extension, etc. This means you may not see the files in the exact reverse chronological order of when they were last used.

Taskbar, System Tray and Notifications

File Manager

new! A new details pane in File Explorer (ALT Shift P) helps you access related content, stay up to date with file activity, and collaborate without opening the file. When you select a file in File Explorer and open this pane, the pane displays contextual information about the file. This includes file thumbnails, their sharing status and buttons, emails, and more.

new! This update introduces Gallery in File Explorer. The Gallery gives you easy access to your photo collection. The content in the gallery is the same as what you see in all photo views in the Photos app.

new! Sharing files from one computer to another is faster when using Wi-Fi Direct.

Note that these experiences apply to applications that use the built-in Windows Sharing window. These include sharing local files from the desktop, File Explorer, Photos, Snipping Tool, and Microsoft Xbox.

Backup and Restore

New! This update introduces the Windows Backup application. Use it to quickly back up your current PC and prepare it for migration to a new one.

new! Microsoft Store apps on your PC used to be pinned to their positions on the taskbar and Start menu. Desktop apps that are not installed from the Microsoft Store are also located where you placed them.

Therefore, it may take a few minutes to become available on your device.

Voice Access

New! This update adds commands to correct words that are not recognized by Speech Access. You can correct specific text by saying "Correct [text]". Use "Correct this" to correct the text you last dictated. A correction window appears containing a list of numbered words. You can say "click [number]" to select any word from the list.

new! Voice access is now available when you start your computer. You can turn on voice access from the Accessibility popup on your lock screen. To turn it on automatically, go to Settings >Accessibility >Speech. Select the setting "Enable voice access before logging into your computer."

Follow the instructions on the Voice Access bar, focusing on the password field. Use your voice to dictate your password or PIN. You can say "Show Keyboard" to bring up a touch keyboard with number labels. Say the number on the key to enter the letter associated with it.

new! Voice access now works for applications running with Microsoft Defender Application Guard turned on.

Safety

New! Passwords are a simple and more secure alternative to passwords when you log into a password-enabled website or app. You can now create a key using Windows Hello by visiting any app or website that supports keys. After you create the key, you can log in using Windows Hello (face, fingerprint, or PIN). Additionally, you can log in using your phone or tablet.

This method works if you have turned on the warning option of Windows Security. Go to Application & Browser Controls > Reputation-Based Protection > Phishing Protection. When it opens, a dialog box will appear warning you that your password is being used in an insecure manner. For example, reusing passwords is not secure.

ACM enables all colors on all Windows applications to display accurately and consistently on every supported monitor. This is true even if the application does not do color management. To turn on ACM, go to Settings > Display > Advanced display. Select SDR monitors and turn on Automatically manage application colors. See the requirements for using ACM in the table below.

There are no hard requirements for display or connection. ACM offers advantages even on 8-bit sRGB panels. However, we strongly recommend that ACM devices have panels with a wider color gamut than sRGB. It is also recommended to select ten bits per color channel (10 bits) or higher.
