Windows 11 will cross two important milestones in October: Windows 11 version 22H2 will exit support and Windows 11 version 24H2–released in limited and unfinished form only with new Snapdragon X-based Copilot+ PCs in June–will be distributed more broadly to the entire user base, including the vast majority on traditional x64-based PCs. This week, Paul shows off some of the new features in this latest Windows feature update. Host: Paul Thurrott Want access to the video version and exclusive features?

We're one week into the Copilot+ PC, and the feedback is positive with caution! Key takeaways so far: Much improved performance and reliability, AI features mostly stink, but there is still uncertainty each time you install/do anything. Windows 11 Week D arrives with preview updates for Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2 only The second Patch Tuesday in a row with no 24H2 update (on the day) This preview update adds 24H2 features to 22H2/23H2 as predicted Beta channel (last week): Bizarre Start menu extension for Phone Link users Release preview channel (last week): The 22H2/23H2 builds and features that shipped to stable as a preview update on Tuesday Canary channel (last week): After pausing the previous build (hint: Recall code), new build arrives with drag-and-drop address bar in File Explorer, notification tweaks Copilot+ PC Paul finally got a Copilot+ PC to test, a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x 14" App compatibility scorecard: Excellent, but with familiar Arm uncertainties Hardware compatibility: Excellent, but with the same person-by-person caveat Gaming: Lots of fiddling, but if you can find a compatible game, some great perf and visual quality. Still better than the Mac, and better than any x64 Ultrabook. But not a gaming PC. No Xbox Game Pass support??

It's a BIG news episode this week, as Leo Laporte and Paul Thurrott discuss the sudden departure of Panos Panay from Microsoft to Amazon. Did he jump or get pushed out of the company? Leo and Paul also dive into a massive leaked memo about Microsoft's Xbox roadmap and plans over the next 10 years. Other topics include Microsoft's upcoming event focused on AI integration across products like Windows, Office 365, and Surface, as well as online account consolidation and Google's Takeout service. We're down a Panay After his curiously off-kilter performance at Build 2023 this past May, Microsoft reveals that it is parting ways with Panos Panay. Are these things related? He's landing at Amazon devices, which makes sense given David Limp is retiring Multiple Microsoft executives and employees have reached out privately about this Comparisons to Terry Myerson's exit Blockbuster Xbox leak Major Xbox leak reveals Xbox Series X|S mid-season upgrades, next-gen console, new controller, and more This is one of the top three Microsoft leaks that's happened in Paul's nearly 30 years of covering this company An analysis of just one of the documents in this leak reveals an incredible amount of strategy information for the next 10 years And one about the reaction to the PS5 reveal Microsoft's upcoming AI event Expectations for this event, the kick-off for Microsoft's full-on client AI push Sub-analysis: This could be Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott's "Ray Ozzie moment." There's a profile of this mostly unknown in the WSJ Intel announces NPU-powered Core Ultra CPUs - off schedule? Related to the MSFT event? Bing Chat gains two new mobile integrations Paint keeps getting AI features. Remember when Paint was the laughing stock of Windows 11 apps? Windows No new builds (of substance, there was an RP build). Windows Photos, Snipping Tool, and Phone Link are all getting new features in Insider. Is Microsoft finally taking its in-box apps seriously (again)? Google extends the support lifecycle for ChromeOS, solving the single biggest criticism of this platform. This is problematic for Microsoft Microsoft 365 EU will reject Microsoft's offer to unbundle Teams from Microsoft 365 Surface Surface Laptop Studio 2 and Laptop Go 3 leak. They will likely be announced at the special event Xbox Microsoft announces more Xbox Game Pass titles for September Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls VI will be an Xbox exclusive.

Windows 11: We're having another moment! After hitting Release Preview last week, Moment 3 will arrive in preview form next week (Week D) or the following week and then head to stable on June 13 (Patch Tuesday). Now we have a better understanding of Microsoft's update schedule for Windows 11 Feature Updates - one per year in H2, deployed logically using best-known configurations first Moments - once per quarter Controlled Feature Releases (CFRs) - almost every month, deployed randomly App updates - can happen anytime based on readiness Continuous innovation isn't just for Windows. In fact, we can assume that mobile was the inspiration for this. Windows feels pressure from mobile. Does mobile feel pressure from web? When Moment 3 arrives, can people in Release Preview automatically exit Insider Preview? Phone Link support for iPhone goes to stable Windows 10 version 21H2 exits support next month, leaving 22H2 as the last version standing for non-managed businesses Bing/AI/cloud Bing chatbot gets contextual chat, a few changes on mobile EU begins an antitrust investigation of Azure Google barely mentioned Android 14 and didn't mention Google Assistant at IO keynote. This is by design: Like Microsoft marketing the cloud before it was ready for 10 years, Google is marketing AI Dev First Rust code shows up in the Windows kernel (in Insider) Visual Studio is getting its first visual refresh in over 10 years Build 2023 is next week! Any sessions stand out?
