Windows 11 version 24H2, also known as the “2024 Update,” introduces a suite of enhancements on productivity, security, and personalization. However, it’s a feature update that heavily focuses on new AI innovations, including a new Recall feature (delayed) and other AI-specific additions like Automatic Super Resolution, Voice Focus, Windows Studio Effects, Voice Clarity, and Live Captions with live translations.

 

Other key features include the Sudo command for Windows 11. File Explorer now offers a wizard for creating archival formats (including 7z, TAR, and Zip). It also offers support for Wi-Fi 7 and hearing aid devices. 

 

You will also find various interface changes across the Taskbar, Settings app, and built-in apps.

 

Windows 11 24H2 has two releases. The first release happened on June 18, 2024, for new ARM-based devices, but it did not have many of the intended features. On October 1, 2024, the feature update became available for everyone to upgrade existing devices manually.
