Microsoft Windows 11 update enhances Copilot, widgets, and other features

Microsoft is rolling out a series of upgrades and additions for Windows 11 users, aiming to provide a more user-friendly and productive computing experience. Key updates for Microsoft Windows 11 include enhancements to Copilot, Widgets, and other AI-driven features.

One of the standout additions is the expansion of Copilot’s capabilities, which gives users more control over their computers. From enabling battery saver mode to managing accessibility features like Narrator or Magnifier, Copilot becomes even more essential. In addition, users can expect convenient features such as displaying available Wi-Fi networks and managing storage space, The Verge reported.

Built-in Photos App update

The built-in Photos app also gets a boost with the Generative Erase feature, which lets users effortlessly remove unwanted objects from their photos. Additionally, Clipchamp, Microsoft’s video editor, is getting the ability to remove awkward silences from videos, improving the overall editing experience.

Improvements to widgets and Snap layouts are set to streamline multitasking and customization. Users can now disable “Microsoft Start” input in widgets, and Windows Widgets will soon be interoperable, in line with Microsoft’s commitment to the European Commission’s Digital Market Act.

For those who use Windows-based tablets with a pen, the update offers the ability to write directly into text boxes in the operating system, improving productivity and ease of use.

Improvements extend to the built-in streaming feature, which provides users with notifications of streaming suggestions and facilitates connections to nearby displays.

Sharing content between devices is facilitated by Lähijao’s improvements, which offer faster transfer speeds and the ability to customize computer names for easier identification.

Ease of use is significantly improved with the introduction of voice shortcuts, allowing users to automate tasks using voice commands. In addition, Narrator improvements improve the user experience for visually impaired people.

Although the update will be rolled out gradually, users who want to use the latest features can speed up the process by turning on automatic updates in Windows Update. In the future, Microsoft is preparing for further changes to comply with the European Union’s Digital Market Act, which promises increased user control and flexibility. With these updates, Microsoft continues to prioritize innovation and user experience, striving to provide users with state-of-the-art technology and seamless functionality.
