Microsoft Windows 11 2024 Update Begins Rolling Out

[btarunr]

Microsoft today released the Windows 11 2024 Update to the general user-base. This version of the operating system was being referred to as the Windows 11 "24H2 Update." Since Microsoft moved away from the biannual major release cycle for Windows, 24H2 was set up to be called simply the "2024 Update." Windows 11 2024 Update introduces several new experiences that leverage native AI acceleration on Copilot+ PCs—cool new things like super-resolution for Photos, or generative fill and erase tools in Paint. The update also releases Preview versions of Click to Do, and Windows Recall.

Click to Do is a generative AI-based utility that lets you perform text related actions anywhere (think rephrasing or summarizing something); or perform visual search for an item in a video or photo, using Bing. Windows Recall is a star-attraction, it lets you trace-back steps or actions in any compatible software, by relying on visual snapshots of your work to restore past actions. This should prove particularly useful for creative work. Both Click to Do, and Windows Recall require a Copilot+ PC (a machine with an NPU that has at least 40 AI TOPS of performance on offer). Windows 2024 Update should begin appearing in the Update section of Windows Settings.

Does anyone actually use Bing?

Nope. Tried it a few times out of curiosity but prefer Google.

I don't have any use for these new features. Especially Recall Spycall but some do I guess.

Does anyone actually use Bing?

Indirectly yes. If you use DuckDuckGo, you're using Bing since DDG uses Bing (among other sources) to produce results.

Directly? Like 3% or 4% of the market. Not a lot.

Personally I've been sticking to DDG. Google's results for some reason are not as productive for me, but it might be a very niche case.

Updated to 24H2 and new Nvidia drivers, all is good.

 

[Vulpeka]

Updated to 24H2 and new Nvidia drivers, all is good.

Updated to 24H2 and new Radeon drivers, all is good.

 

[Metroid]

Not yet available for me to download, I guess it will be next few days. On Microsoft website the iso already comes with the 24h2 update.

Does anyone actually use Bing?

Yes, via DuckDuckGo. I've stopped using Google search. There are only two viable search engines (Yandex is Russian crap) and DuckDuckGo uses Bing.

Now wait few week/months for Winreducer catch with compatibility and make your own lite build.

Bing browser

Bing is the search engine, not a browser. Microsoft's browser is Edge. But this also goes to show how "popular" Bing is.

Nope. Tried it a few times out of curiosity but prefer Google.

I don't have any use for these new features. Especially Recall Spycall but some do I guess.

To be honest, any CoPilot features will probably be taking your data from you to be processed at OpenAI. Even the so called native AI apps that somehow don't work without an internet connection.

Yes, via DuckDuckGo. I've stopped using Google search. There are only two viable search engines (Yandex is Russian crap) and DuckDuckGo uses Bing.

Yeah, these days all search providers are pretty bad. The silver lining is that Google's not much better, so you might as well cut the invasive tech behemoth out of the direct pipeline. I use DuckDuckGo by default. If DDG isn't cutting it, I use Startpage (which uses Google on the back end, IIRC). If Startpage doesn't cut it, I use Brave Search.

I'm not suggesting that any of these Google alternatives is a trustworthy steward of your privacy, though that is what they claim. Trust no one. Rather I contend that anything you can do to diffuse/diminish your direct contact with quasi-monopolistic corporations is probably to the good.

AMD (Ryzen) platform owners : anyone seeing any noteworthy game-performance improvements with the 24H2 update?

I gained more on R23 than on games, but I'm bottlenecked by GPU anyway.

If you compare with memory integrity enabled in 23h2 Vs 24h2, my 5600x gained a 30% in cinebench and a 10-15% in games.
If you compare 23h2 with memory integrity disabled and 24h2 with memory integrity enabled, it's a 5-10% average.

It's free performance, only going Linux would improve it further, if you have the patience to tolerate the Linux issues instead.

Rolling back to 23h2 as updating to 24h2 gave me two sequential blue screens, and some gaming clients like GOG Galaxy and Steam won't launch.

I think I am going to Windows 10 LTSC and once support for that is dropped or it's no longer viable will move to Linux permanently, M$ can shove their AI and spyware up their arsenal, last update I did broke my start menu so I rolled back, won't be sticking with 11 much longer just need the time to sort my files out and wil revert to 10 for the foreseeable

 

[Caring1]

Click to do is just like Grammarly, but worse as it's tied to Bing.

Yeah now my Mouse stops randomly working. I had to install the newest GPU driver like 3 times. Including DDU Just to see my GPU. It was strange getting the message that my GPU was not supported by AMD software. There is a problem with the IGPU but it seems to be working better now.
