Digital enthusiasts are all aware that Microsoft will release Windows 11 24H2 in the second half of this year. This is a very significant major update, where Microsoft will introduce a series of important new features and integrate artificial intelligence, making it highly anticipated.
As a result, many are very interested in Windows 11 24H2 and want to know when it will be released, what important feature improvements it will have, and if there is any authoritative, reliable news from Microsoft. The information shared below is exactly what you need.
Regarding the specific release date of the Windows 11 24H2 “official version,” there is no confirmed information yet. The official statement is “later this year,” but the Windows 11 24H2 Release Preview is already here.
Yes, you read that correctly. Microsoft released Windows 11 24H2 in the developer channel on May 22 (see Figure 1), with an internal version number of 26100.712, which is very close to the final official version.
So, what important new features and improvements does Windows 11 24H2 have? The following content is all from official Microsoft information.
There are many new features, including HDR background support, new energy-saving tools, the addition of Sudo for Windows (see above), Rust in the Windows kernel, and support for Wi-Fi 7, among others.
Improvements to the Windows system include the introduction of a scrollable quick settings view in the taskbar, the ability to create 7-zip and TAR archives in File Explorer (in addition to ZIP), and improvements in connecting low-power Bluetooth audio devices.
Please note: The above are just a small portion of the new features and improvements in Windows 11 24H2. Microsoft says, “More detailed information about additional new features and improvements in Windows 11 24H2 will be shared in the coming months.”
Furthermore, what everyone is most concerned about are the new AI features. Microsoft says that in Windows 11 24H2, Copilot will be pinned to the taskbar, supporting resizing, moving, and snapping windows.
Additionally, Microsoft reminds users that the new AI features like Recall, released earlier this week, are not available in the Windows 11 24H2 preview version because they must run on Copilot+ PCs, which require certain hardware and software specifications.
Currently, Windows 11 24H2 is a “Release Preview” and is not available to regular users. Only users who have joined the Windows Insider Program can use it. These users can now install and experience Windows 11 24H2 through Windows Update.
Moreover, the Windows 11 24H2 Release Preview ISO image file is available for download. Users can also download it and then perform a fresh installation of Windows 11 24H2 through traditional methods.
In summary, although Microsoft has now released the Windows 11 24H2 preview version, its official documentation is very brief and vague, with many details still unknown. More updates and leaks will be shared as soon as possible, so stay tuned.
