Listen Later

After a flurry of last-second pre-release activity, Microsoft shipped 24H2 a week earlier than expected! Copilot also gets a major update for individuals too, and Copilot+ PCs get more features.

24H2 is here!

  • Last week's Week D updates did finally go out, first to 22H2/23H2 and then to 24H2
  • That 22H2/23H2 preview update was apparently a hot mess Now Microsoft has issued a fix
  • Windows 11 version 24H2 is fully available. Arm64 ISOs are coming soon
  • The first LTSC version(s) of Windows 11 is now available - Windows 11 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) 24H2 + Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024)
  • New Dev and Beta builds, not much new, but new Snipping Tools spreads further
  • Canary build today

    • Copilot

    • Copilot morphs into an AI companion or something
    • Copilot+ PCs are getting new features, including one with a serious Recall vibe
    • Microsoft is trying a different tact with the new AI features - explaining why they can be trusted. Can they be trusted?
    • Microsoft belatedly explains why you can trust Recall
    • As expected, Microsoft does a song and dance on changes to Recall, but notably never thanks the feedback it got from the security community. Good. But this is still a win-win, if just for opt-in and, now, uninstall
