This latest update introduces several noteworthy features and enhancements:

  • Agent in Settings for AMD/Intel-powered Copilot+ PCs: This feature is now available for users with Snapdragon X-based Copilot+ PCs, enhancing the overall user experience.
  • SCOOBE Changes: Microsoft has revamped the Second Chance Out of Box Experience (SCOOBE), the setup-like screen that appears post-update. The redesign aims to provide a more intuitive and streamlined process. For those who prefer a more straightforward approach, this feature can be disabled in Settings > System > Notifications > Additional settings by unchecking “Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows and finish setting up this device.”
  • Click to Do Improvements: A new tutorial has been added to Click to Do, which will appear upon first launch. This tutorial guides users on how to take actions on images and text. Users can revisit the tutorial by selecting “More options” (“…”) and then “Start tutorial” within the app.
  • Windows Search Enhancements: A new grid view for image results has been introduced in the left pane of the Search highlights result pane, making it easier to navigate and find desired content.

Additionally, there are minor adjustments to the Lock screen configuration in Settings, updates to the Notification center, and enhancements in Task Manager, alongside the usual array of fixes and newly identified issues.
