As rumors mount for a “Windows 12” release for next year, Microsoft confirmed and named a new Windows 11 23H2 update planned for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Microsoft hasn’t yet revealed what’s in it, but the company does have many unreleased features in the beta testing pipeline that could be included. One of the big new items is Windows Copilot, which takes the GPT generative AI tech being used in Bing and Microsoft (Office) 365 and gives users an OS-wide personal assistant — and is available to test now.
Another feature to look out for is the release of the next File Explorer: it includes tabs, favorites, and a modernized look. Meanwhile, gamers may enjoy native RGB lighting settings coming to Windows 11 to make clunky hardware-specific software unnecessary. Other features in the pipeline include built-in RAR and 7-zip compressed file support and dark mode for Paint.
They’re sticking to the “get rid of every second edition” process I see. I still haven’t even used 11 and 12 might come out before I need to.
Good point. But the more they advance their OS, the more you have to integrate directly into their services if you want to use them. Kind of excited on what is coming next but at the same time, a little bit concerned as well.
I’m still waiting for them to drop the sound switcher shortcut in the beta channel 🥲
Sounds to me like a whole new wave of bugs and user tickets are approaching.
