These updates, covering both the 24H2 and 23H2 versions of Windows 11, bring a host of new features and improvements that are sure to excite users, especially those on the lookout for more natural interaction with their PCs.
Voice Access Gets a Major Upgrade!
If you’re using a Snapdragon X-powered Copilot+ PC, you’ll be thrilled to know that Voice Access has received a significant enhancement. The new update allows you to use more natural, conversational language when giving voice commands. No longer will you need to stick to rigid phrasing! Instead of just saying “Open Edge,” you can now say things like “Can you open an Edge application?” or “Switch to Microsoft Edge.” Microsoft promises that Voice Access now understands your intent, making your interactions smoother and more intuitive.
File Explorer Gets a Polished Experience
In another welcomed improvement, File Explorer has received a tweak to the “See more” menu, which now opens in the correct direction. This small change is a part of the ongoing enhancements that aim to make Windows 11 more user-friendly and efficient.
What’s New in the 23H2 Beta Update?
For users who are sticking with Windows 11 23H2, the latest cumulative update (KB5053649) brings a set of minor yet important improvements. The update (build 22635.5090) comes with several fixes that improve the overall experience, though there are still a few known issues. Notably, there might be a slight delay when displaying icons in the Start menu, but overall, the update aims to fine-tune your Windows 11 experience.
Get Ready for Smoother Navigation and Enhanced Features!
With these updates, Microsoft continues to push the envelope in refining Windows 11, offering new features that make using your PC more intuitive and effortless. Whether it’s through better voice command capabilities or enhancements to everyday tools like File Explorer, these changes will surely make a difference for those enrolled in the Dev and Beta channels.
