What Happens When Your Computer Reads Your Mind? Incredible Windows 11 AI Updates You Need to Try Today
Microsoft just dropped a huge update for Windows 11. Your computer is about to get much smarter. These new AI features will change how you use your PC every day.
What Makes These Features Special?
Think of your computer as getting a helpful assistant. This assistant can do tasks for you. It can fix problems before you even notice them. Some features work on any Windows 11 computer. Others need special Copilot+ PCs to run.
AI Settings That Actually Help
The Settings app now understands what you want. Just type what you need in plain English. No more hunting through menus.
Here’s what you can do:
- Type “turn on quiet hours” and it happens
- Say “connect my Bluetooth headphones” and get instant help
- Ask for “change screen to 1920×1080” and watch it work
- Make mistakes? The AI can undo changes too
Microsoft says this works for hundreds of different settings. Your computer finally speaks your language.
Better Photos and Creative Tools
The Photos app gets exciting new powers. You can add up to three virtual lights to any picture. Change the color, brightness, and position of each light. Your selfies will look professional without expensive equipment.
Microsoft Paint becomes a sticker factory. Describe what you want and Paint creates custom stickers. Use these stickers anywhere on your computer. The app also gets smarter selection tools that can pick out specific objects from photos.
Screenshots Made Perfect
Taking screenshots gets an upgrade. The Snipping Tool now captures perfect rectangles automatically. No more crooked or messy screenshots. It also includes a color picker that tells you the exact color codes (HEX, RGB, HSL) of anything on your screen.
Reading and Writing Help
Click to Do brings reading assistance to your fingertips. Select any text and choose “Read with Immersive Reader” for a distraction-free experience. You can:
- Adjust text size and spacing
- Change fonts and background colors
- Use speech-to-text features
- Practice pronunciation with Reading Coach
Microsoft 365 subscribers get Draft with Copilot in Word. Turn fragments and ideas into full drafts instantly.
Gaming Gets Better Too
Edge Game Assist appears when you play games. Get instant access to:
- Game tips and guides
- Discord for chatting with friends
- Spotify for background music
- Twitch for streaming
No more alt-tabbing out of games to find help or entertainment.
Copilot Vision: Your AI Companion
This feature analyzes whatever appears on your screen. Ask questions about websites, documents, or apps using your voice. Copilot Vision understands context and provides relevant answers. Currently available only in the United States.
Faster Problem Solving
Windows now fixes itself better. The Recovery Environment detects and repairs common issues automatically. Restart times drop from 40 seconds to just 2 seconds on Windows 11 version 24H2.
