Microsoft is infusing Windows 11 with a powerful dose of artificial intelligence, headlined by the introduction of Copilot Vision. This innovative feature allows users to engage with their screens in unprecedented ways, opening up new possibilities for productivity and creativity. The update also delivers exclusive AI-driven functionalities for Copilot Plus PCs, solidifying Windows 11’s position as a leading-edge operating system.

Copilot Vision empowers users to pose questions about anything displayed on their screen, spanning across multiple applications and web pages. Need guidance on enhancing photo lighting? Copilot Vision can provide step-by-step instructions. For those with Copilot Plus PCs, an intelligent AI agent within the Settings app streamlines the configuration process by allowing users to adjust settings using natural language commands.

The enhanced Click to Do feature, triggered by pressing the Windows key and left-clicking, now offers expanded functionality, including text summarization and the scheduling of Teams meetings. Copilot Plus PC users can also leverage an AI-powered sticker generator within Paint and an intelligent object selection tool for sophisticated image editing. Further enhancing the AI ecosystem are an AI lighting adjustment option in the Photos app and a ‘perfect screenshot’ tool integrated into the Snipping Tool.

Beyond the AI enhancements, the update incorporates a convenient color picker within the Snipping Tool and a mechanism designed to automatically resolve issues that lead to unexpected system restarts. Microsoft has announced a phased rollout plan for all features, ensuring a smooth and optimized user experience.
