Description

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

  • Google pushes Gemini more in ChromeOS

Microsoft 365, More


  • Microsoft finally kills HoloLens 2

  • Germany has a plan for regulating all of Microsoft, not just the products that fall under the DMA

  • Office 2024 is here for individuals too

  • Intel rejects buyout offer... from Arm?

Xbox


  • Xbox announces new games at Tokyo Game Show

  • First Game Pass titles of October reveal a bonanza of Activision titles, is what I wish we could discuss

  • Starfield expansion arrives on Xbox, PC

  • J Allard joins Amazon for some reason
