Microsoft is pushing forward with the integration of artificial intelligence in Windows. The company has fundamentally redesigned the controversial Recall feature, which creates screenshots of the screen. According to David Weston, Vice President of Enterprise Security at Microsoft, Recall is now an opt-in feature with improved encryption and can be completely uninstalled.
For Copilot Plus PCs, Microsoft announces AI-powered improvements to Windows search starting in November. Users should be able to find images, emails, and documents more easily, even if search terms don’t appear in the file name. A new feature called “Click to Do” also enables interactive actions directly on the screen.
The digital assistant Copilot is also receiving new capabilities. “Copilot Vision” can analyze web pages and answer questions about them. “Think Deeper” is designed to solve more complex problems, while “Copilot Voice” enables spoken conversations. Microsoft emphasizes that data protection and security were prioritized in the development of these features.
