The July 2025 non-security preview update is now available for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 23H2, and Windows 10, version 22H2. Information about the contents of this update is available from the release notes, which are accessible from the Windows 11 and Windows 10 update history pages. To learn more about the different types of monthly quality updates, see Windows monthly updates explained.
Looking to explore upcoming features and improvements in Windows 11? Check out the Windows roadmap. It includes what's coming to the Windows Insider Program, what's gradually rolling out, and what's generally available.
Highlights for the Windows 11, version 24H2 update:
For all Recall users worldwide, you can now reset Recall and delete all its data. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Recall & Snapshots to find a new advanced settings page. There, you'll see a reset button that deletes all your snapshots and restores Recall to its default settings.
Practice in Reading Coach is a new Click to Do text action that helps you improve reading fluency and pronunciation.
With the Draft with Copilot in Word text action, you can quickly turn any recognized text into a full draft. Whether it's a sentence in an email or a snippet on your screen, press Win + Click on the recognized text, then select Draft with Copilot in Word.
The new agent in Settings is part of the Copilot+ PC experience and is designed to help you find and change settings on your PC.
Windows Search settings are now easier to find. Instead of two separate pages for settings ("Search permissions" and "Searching Windows"), you can find everything in one place under Settings > Privacy & security > Search.
