In a rush? Here are the quick facts:

AI features roll out first to Snapdragon-based Copilot+ PCs.
New tools include Click to Do and improved Windows search.
Photos and Paint apps get AI-powered editing features.

Microsoft has announced a new set of AI-based features for Windows 11. The most important update includes an AI agent that can modify settings on its own.

s can type simple instructions like “make my mouse pointer bigger,” and the system will locate and apply the changes without further action from the , as noted by Bleeping Computer. The new feature will launch first in English for Windows Insiders who use Snapdragon-based Copilot+ PCs before it becomes available on other devices.

Microsoft extends its “Click to Do” feature to enable s to execute actions from highlighted text or images. s can prepare messages and set meetings and create Excel tables through this feature without needing to launch the respective applications.

Several apps are also getting upgrades. s can now use the Relight tool in the Photos app to add virtual lighting effects to their pictures. s of Paint will gain access to two new features: a digital sticker generator that uses text prompts, and an advanced selection tool for image editing.

Hi, I’m Kiara Fabbri a Tech News Writer at WizCase. I'm a multimedia journalist with a keen interest in innovative and immersive news storytelling. Fluent in three languages—Italian, English, and Spanish—I'm deeply engaged in all facets of news reporting. I am currently undertaking a Ph.D. exploring VR applications in journalism. Following my studies in psychology (BSc) and political psychology (MSc), I embarked on a three-year journey across South America. During this time, I undertook a 4000 km solo bicycle trip from Chile to Brazil. There, I camped, cooked on the road, and volunteered in various facilities. It was during these travels that I discovered my ion for journalism. Subsequently, I pursued a Master's program in journalism innovation and enterprise. My career in journalism has seen me produce VR immersive experiences covering a range of topics. These include documenting an Anti Militaristic raid of a NATO Base, life in the Brazilian Favelas, the recent violent protest clashes in Buenos Aires and finally social projects run by Skaters in the Argentinian ghettos. In addition to my journalistic endeavours, I also practice parkour, a discipline I have cultivated over several years now. I love to make the most of this skill in my journalistic style; for example, it has enabled me to capture dynamic footage from heights during the recent violent clashes in Buenos Aires. There, I scaled heights and employed a long stick on my camera to create aerial 360° views. Through my dedication to pushing the boundaries of journalism, I am committed to amplifying voices, sparking meaningful conversations, and driving positive change in the world.
