As every month, Microsoft has celebrated Patch Tuesday on the second Tuesday of the month, with the launch of updates for all versions of your Windows operating system. In this case, both Windows 10 and Windows 11 have received updates, although it is the latter that brings more changes, and not all have been well received.
And Microsoft has chosen this month to activate once and for all news based on Windows 11 For all Copilot+ PC computers; In other words, if you recently bought a new computer, this update interests you, regardless of the type of processor you use.
Until now, laptops with Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite processors were the only ones that could use all the functions based on AI. With the update KB5058411 for Windows 11 24h2 launched this week, the computers with Intel and AMD processors that meet the conditions of co -se They will also receive the functions based on AI.
Recall that the main requirement for a computer to be considered Copilot+ PC is in the processor, which must have an NPU with a performance of at least 40 tops; In other words, a processor Snapdragon Elite, one of the last Ryzen AI 300, or one of the last Intel Core Ultra 200V. If we have any of those processors, the last Windows 11 update will activate, or allow activating, the new functions of AI; And among these is one that has caused a lot of stir: Recall.
Recall is a function that constantly captures our computer, and uses AI to analyze the content and help the user; For example, obtaining information from a page that we visited or a conversation we had. A very important detail is that Recall is not activated by default Even if we install the update; After installation, Windows will ask us if we want to activate it and we can also do it from the configuration.
Recall received many criticism from cybersecurity experts from the first day in which it was announced, and Microsoft has applied some changes in response; Recall only stores data locally and encrypted, forcing us to authenticate with Windows Hello to use the function and see private data. Despite all Recall’s controversies, it seems that Microsoft seems convinced that it has improved it enough to launch it for all users.

In addition to Recall, the last Windows 11 update brings a similar but perhaps more interesting function, “Click to do”; When clicking with the mouse at the same time that we press the Windows key, the system will make a screenshot and allow us to perform actions depending on the content. For example, to search the website of terms, make text summaries, or ask Copilot about what we are seeing. It is something similar to surrounding Android, and the potential seems similar.
The rest of Windows versions also receive news. Users who still remain in Windows 11 23H2 will receive the new start menu with a section dedicated to the smartphone connected through mobile link, while Windows 10 only receives patches for security problems.
