Windows 11 users can expect a huge update later this year as Microsoft prepares to launch Windows 11 24H2, a major update that will focus on features related to artificial intelligence.
A new report from Windows Central, which cites a reliable source, claims that Microsoft plans to launch Windows 11 24H2 in September. The source, Zac Bowden, is a well-known Microsoft insider who has a history of revealing accurate information about Windows updates.
Bowden says Windows 11 24H2 will be a big change from Windows 11 23H2, which was a minor update released in December. Windows 11 24H2 will be based on a new version of the Windows platform, which will bring performance and security improvements, as well as a host of new features.
Copilot will be in the spotlight on Windows 11 24H2
One of the main features of Windows 11 24H2 will be improving Copilot, the AI-powered assistant that Microsoft introduced with Windows 11. Copilot will be able to do more things for users, like improve the Windows interface, boost productivity and find information.
One of the most interesting features of Copilot is the function that will allow users to locate any file, image, application or anything else they have opened on their PC in the past, using natural language queries. For example, users can ask Copilot to find “this file where I wrote on the Galaxy S24 screen”.
Windows 11 24H2 will also bring other features like Power Saving Mode, which will help users save battery, and AI-powered Snap Layouts, which will help users organize their windows on the screen.
Additionally, Windows 11 24H2 will bring improvements to Phone Link, the feature that allows users to connect their smartphones to their PCs. One of these improvements will be the ability to use the smartphone as a webcam for the PC, which could be useful for video calls or streaming.
As you will have understood, Windows 11 24H2 will be an important update for Windows 11 users, because it will make the operating system much smarter. According to the report, the update is expected to arrive in September, but as usual, it might be delayed or changed as Microsoft is still working on it.
