Microsoft continues to integrate artificial intelligence across its products, and the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3964, released to the Beta Channel, is no exception. This update, part of the upcoming 24H2 version, brings significant enhancements to the operating system’s user experience, including intelligent text actions and a smarter, AI-powered Settings app.
At the core of the update is the introduction of natural language search within the Settings app. Unlike traditional search functions that rely heavily on specific keywords, the new AI agent allows users to interact with their PC using natural, conversational phrases. For example, users can now simply type questions like “How do I control my PC by voice?” or “My mouse pointer is too small,” and the system will intelligently guide them to the appropriate settings. This change makes the Settings app more intuitive, especially for users who may not be familiar with technical terms or where to find specific controls.
In addition to the upgraded Settings experience, the update introduces new Click-To-Do AI features such as Rewrite and Summarize. These tools are designed to enhance productivity by allowing users to quickly rephrase or condense written text using AI. Ideal for email writing, document editing, or note-taking, these features are part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to embed AI assistance directly into the operating system’s workflows.
Alongside these new experiences, the build also includes numerous bug fixes and performance improvements, ensuring a smoother and more stable user experience. These changes reflect Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to create a more personalized and intelligent computing environment powered by AI.
With the 24H2 update, Microsoft reinforces its commitment to making Windows not only more powerful but also more user-friendly. The new features are currently available to Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel, offering a glimpse of what all users can expect when the update rolls out more widely later this year. As AI continues to shape the future of computing, Windows 11 is positioning itself at the forefront of this transformation.
