What's new
One of the most exciting new features in the 23H2 update is the integration of Microsoft Teams. With this new feature, users can easily join video calls and chat with colleagues, friends, and family members directly from the taskbar. This integration makes it easier than ever to stay connected with others and collaborate on projects.
Another notable change in the 23H2 update is the new File Explorer. The new File Explorer is designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly, with a range of new features and improvements. For example, users can now access frequently used folders directly from the taskbar, making it easier to navigate and manage files.
In addition to these changes, the 23H2 update also includes various improvements to the Windows Store. The new Store is designed to be faster and more reliable, with improved search and discovery features. The Store also includes a range of new apps and games, making it easier than ever to find and install the software you need.
Another important addition to these changes is the ability to uninstall some apps such as;
- Cortana
- Camera
- People
Now you can enjoy removing these old, useless and bloated features from your computer and say hello to this new feature called, Copilot. Copilot (Preview) is a new addition to the 23H2 update and it includes AI capability to help perform useful responses and provide a wide range of commands you can input. For example: Type this, "Change to dark mode", this will prompt Copilot to suggest the ability to turn on dark mode as requested.
(Note: Copilot is available to North America, some Asian countries and South American regions and may not be available to you if it's not listed here)
Are you worried about losing your data or wanting to transfer them to your other devices? Try the new Windows Backup app. Just click to back up and it's that simple. It is secured and you and your data will be safe in the meantime.
Are you a developer? Try the brand new Dev Home app designed to make setting up a new dev machine as easy as possible. This app provides an overview of your machine, GitHub projects, and more. Dev Home can connect to your GitHub account and pull in the latest changes and requests. It includes widgets such as CPU, GPU, Memory, and Network. Dev Home goes together with a new Dev Drive feature, which lets developers create a system partition for software development. A Dev Drive partition is ReFS formatted and offers more performance for projects with hundreds and thousands of files, like games or complex apps.
Major IMPROVEMENTS
One of the most notable changes in the 23H2 update is the introduction of new themes and customization options. Windows 11 users can choose from a range of new themes, including some that are specifically designed for the dark mode. The customization options have also been expanded, allowing users to personalize their Windows 11 experience even further.
One feature brought back from development is the, 'Never' combined taskbar option available in Settings > Personalization > Taskbar behaviours.
Another major improvement in the 23H2 update is the enhanced security features. Windows Defender has been updated to provide better protection against malware and other threats, ensuring that your device is always protected. The update also includes various security enhancements, such as improved encryption and stronger password policies.
The 23H2 update also brings several performance improvements, including faster boot times and improved overall performance. The update also includes several bug fixes and performance optimizations, making Windows 11 more stable and reliable than ever before.
QUALITY of LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
The Microsoft extract feature has received a special update in 23H2. Microsoft is finally bringing native 7zip and RAR support to Windows 11, meaning you'll no longer be required to download third-party tools to handle those archive types. Windows will be able to easily handle unzipping and zipping 7zip and RAR files, along with .tar and other open-source archive formats.
The personalization tab has been updated in the settings app to include a new feature called, dynamic lighting. It will be great for devices from the likes of Razer that feature incredibly bloated third-party tools for customizing their products. If you want to change the colour of your lights, you can do so natively through Windows 11 and the built-in Settings app.
The widgets board has been updated to include more customization options for the board, including new layouts that allow users to choose between having widgets separated from the news feed, mixed with the news feed, and no news feed at all.
The new Paint app has finally received some love from Microsoft and includes new features that can provide users more customizability and dark mode. The app also has an updated zooming functionality, with a more incremental drop-down menu with custom percentages and smooth zooming.
