Details:
Today we start to roll out new features and capabilities to help organizations get more value from their Windows 11 investments through greater productivity, creativity, and inclusion. Highlights include:
New skills for Copilot in Windows
Accessibility enhancements for those using voice access or multiple monitors
Improvements to Snap, Widgets, and Windows Ink
Expanded file sharing options for third-party apps
We're also simplifying update management by bringing together the Windows Update for Business deployment service and Windows Autopatch into a single, unified update management solution for enterprise customers.
When will this happen:
Most of these new Windows 11 features will be enabled by default in the March 2024 optional non-security preview release for all editions of Windows 11, versions 23H2 and 22H2.
