Microsoft publishes Windows roadmap as it promises transparency around feature availability

In 2025, concerns arose regarding the difficulty of tracking new features in Windows 11 during their testing and deployment phases. The Windows Insider Program faced criticism for its lack of clarity, as features sometimes bypassed experimental channels and appeared without connection to the program. Announcements about feature availability were typically made only with non-security Windows updates, complicating monitoring for IT professionals. In response, Microsoft introduced a new Windows roadmap website to enhance transparency for IT managers. This roadmap serves as a centralized hub for information on features in testing, gradual rollout, and general availability, including target release windows. However, Microsoft warned that features listed could change, and the roadmap currently focuses only on the client version of Windows 11.

Windows Photos adds fancy editing features from other Microsoft apps

Microsoft is updating its Windows Photos app with features from its Designer application in version 2025.11030.20006.0. The app will include AI-powered editing tools, such as image touch-ups, background removal, and photo upscaling, particularly for users with Copilot+ PCs that have a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). A new Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature will enable users to import documents and extract text from images, similar to Office Lens. The integration of Designer's creative elements will allow users to create designs using existing images for greeting cards and other layouts. Users will be able to access the "Create with Designer" feature by right-clicking on photos in File Explorer. Additionally, the app will automatically display photos from subfolders in Gallery mode and will support JPEG XL (JXL) file formats.
