Microsoft is making its Copilot+ AI features available to more Windows 11 computers. This change is rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Dev channel with build 26120.2510, allowing more people to try the new features and share their comments.
Microsoft has tried to integrate AI features into its PCs, with some PCs under construction with CoPilot in mind. These AI features were primarily available on devices using Snapdragon processors, but it appears that they are also available on PCs with AMD and Intel processors.
The infamous Recall preview gets some slight improvements. Recall uses AI to help users quickly find apps, websites, images and documents they’ve previously viewed by describing what they’re looking for. This feature, which works with Click to Do, is now available to Insiders using AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs, following an earlier trial on Snapdragon devices. The recall has had a pretty rocky history, but Microsoft has I didn’t stop trying to bring it to users.
The latest update introduces Cocreator to Paint for AMD and Intel-powered PCs with Copilot+. Cocreator allows users to create illustrations by simply typing text prompts. The Photos app has also been updated with new tools: Image Creator, which allows users to create images from text prompts, and Restyle Image, which allows users to add different artistic styles to their existing photos. These tools use the AI capabilities of Copilot+ PCs to operate efficiently on the device itself.
The update also adds new ways to use the Click to Do feature, which uses a small language model on your device. You can now access Click to Do by pressing the Windows key and clicking the mouse, using the Windows key + Qvia the Snipping tool menu, pressing the Print Screen button, or searching in the Windows taskbar. There are also improved text actions, such as text summarization and rewrite, which will initially be available in English on Snapdragon devices, with support coming soon from AMD and Intel. These updates aim to make it easier and more intuitive for users to interact with what’s on their screen.
This test brings a lot of new features, but it also brings various improvements and fixes. These are gradually released to Insiders who have opted in to receive updates immediately. This includes an updated Windows Hello experience with better visuals and easier password management. Several bug fixes also resolve issues with the Taskbar, File Explorer, Audio Devices, and Excel.
