Microsoft Windows 11 23H2 Major Update Begins Rolling Out, Bets Big on Generative AI
Microsoft on Tuesday began rolling out Windows 11 23H2, the year's major update to its PC operating system. This release sees a major integration of AI into several features across the OS. To begin with, Microsoft Copilot, which made its debut with 365 and Office, is getting integrated with Windows. Powered by Bing Chat, Copilot is a GPT-based chatbot that not just gathers information from web-search, but can also be made to do a variety of OS level functions. For example, you can ask it to pair a Bluetooth device, or find something on your machine, find stuff within the files of your machine. The WIN+C key now brings up Copilot. Next up, Microsoft Paint gets its biggest feature update, with the generative AI-based Paint Cocreator feature. Not only will Paint assist your brush-strokes, in getting the shapes and contents right, but much like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, Paint now has a prompt-based image generation feature. For now, Paint Cocreator is being released as a preview feature.
Microsoft Clipchamp, the video editor included with Windows, now has a set of generative AI enhancements of its own, with tools such as Auto Compose, which assists in building a movie with scenes, getting the sequence of clips and transitions right, getting the effects and filters right; and audio features such as narration and background score. Clipchamp also has integration with social platforms including Tik Tok, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Snipping Tool, the screengrab application of Windows, now gets a couple of AI enhancements too, such as scanning an image to extract and redact information. Photos gets AI-accelerated image recognition and categorization. Much like Google Photos, you can look for a picture by describing what you're looking for. As with each such annual major release, Microsoft will be releasing 23H2 in a phased manner through Windows Update, but if you're impatient and want to immediately update, or perform a clean installation, visit the link below.

And of course its Nvidia's fault, but its part of the Linux experience.
Never seen an Intel driver stop the desktop showing though, so nice strawman I guess?
But look, its not worth arguing with you (and is my last reply) as you're frankly a zealot who it wouldn't matter what I said. Its obvious that you use linux, so how about you enjoy it, and stay in your lane concerning Windows of which you obviously know nothing about but scary bedtime stories told on r/linuxmemes anymore.
So just tried a fresh install on a PC of 23h2, You can bring up the Shift F10 CMD but if you run the oobe/bypassnro it will not work. But I found a work around. Use the Same Shift-F10 to get cmd up then enable the Administrator account using net user Administrator /Active:yes
Then Run Regedit and goto the following key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE and look for the setting LaunchUserOOBE change it from a 1 to a zero and also change the other option DefaultAccountAction from 1 to zero. Then reboot the computer.
You can now log in as Administrator and do what ever you want.
This was Home Edition btw
MS LOL
Enjoy.
But if Windows starts taking effort, that changes things. So far I remain on 10, and I see no reason to move yet. MS can choose to make my life miserable in a hundred ways, I dare them.
All I want is a glorified launcher for a few thousand games, an office package and internet, Mr. Nadella...
Also, every time I get Edge shoved into my face again, you lose favor points.
I definitely will be disabling the co-pilot features, but really just avoiding Windows when its not a necessity. ** Puts on tinfoil hat **
We can see who are the ones who will own nothing, eat bugs and like it.
TBH wasn't even aware of the "AI focus", it's just a fad, it'll eventually go away like cryptocurrencies did.You've been a TPU member for 11 years, should know by now that the enemies of the state in this forum are:
1. Nvidia (this company is always wrong, everything they do is always evil, even if they do something right this must never be acknowledged)
2. Microsoft (they can never be trusted, nothing that they do is acceptable)
3. Intel (citing some obscure shady backroom deal or running afoul of some EU legislation 20 years ago)
Microsoft are pure scumbags lol.
Rubbish.
To me this is Microsoft's way to introduce more paid services within the OS. Hard pass.

DisableSearchBoxSuggestions = 1
Complaints only make sense when actual evidence of abuse exists. Otherwise you are just giving privacy advocates a bad name.
Worked for me.
