Microsoft has recently provided us with a very professional experience that we have never seen before in operating systems. Windows 11 version 24H2 has become a favorite destination for many to obtain many advantages and technologies. Especially after Microsoft's conference a few months ago, during which it reviewed powerful technologies gradually coming to this system. If you update Windows 11 to the latest version, you have a set of powerful features in your hands, here are some of them.
Phone Link feature
Microsoft is trying through Windows 11 to achieve connectivity and communication between different devices, including smartphones. The Phone Link feature is not a strange feature at all, as it has been available since the days of Windows 10, but it is weak and very simple.
In the latest update, you can now connect your smartphone to the system via this feature. You can view and browse the contents of the smartphone in the form of a folder in the Windows system. You can also receive notifications and messages and respond to them directly from the smartphone. Access the photo gallery, browse it, and download photos from the phone to the computer.
Some have also criticized the Phone Link feature due to a bug in the tool that refuses to disconnect from the smartphone or delete it from Phone Link. It seems that Microsoft will make an emergency update for it in the future to solve the problem.
Terminal AI feature
It's still in beta mode, but Windows 11 users have spent a significant amount of time exploring and playing around with it in the past few days, and it's worth mentioning.
AI is widely available in Windows 11 now, but you need to try it out in Terminal (or Powershell) in the latest update.
In Settings, search for AI Chat and it will take you to a window to enable AI chat through Terminal. Activate it (even if it's in beta mode), now head to CMD or Powershell in Windows 11, then click on Settings inside it and enable the AI Chat option, which is basically based on Copilot . You'll be able to create conversations directly within Terminal / Powershell without the need for any third-party software.
Energy and battery saving techniques
For a very long time, Microsoft has not cared about the power saving techniques in the system, and made them default and very limited. The system consumes a lot of the device's battery compared to any other system due to the weak control over software and applications as well as device resources
. The latest update brings an integrated interface to regain your control over how the battery works and power saving techniques in Windows 11. The settings include the ability to stop a type of program, limit resource consumption to avoid overheating and then power consumption. In addition to a group of many other resources to control the system.
A major update to the File Explorer interface
The File Explorer interface has also received a very huge update that has brought many features. The first is the Tabs feature, as you can now open folders within the same window and move between them, in addition to including a file decompression system (such as Winrar) built into the system. Microsoft has also included additional settings when you right-click on any of the files or folders in Windows 11. In short, Microsoft has introduced a major reshaping of the File Explorer interface in the Windows 11 24H2 update. Incidentally, another bug has appeared in the latter, as when right-clicking on the top file, the menu appears at the top and not the bottom, but it is not a huge problem, and Microsoft will most likely fix it in upcoming patches.
Other general updates
These were the most prominent features of this update, true, but there are many updates that Microsoft has added. It has reshaped the settings menu in the bottom bar (Taskbar), so when you click on the Wi-Fi button, for example, you can now reload the network, and you can access other additional settings from there.
Speaking of settings, the system settings interface has changed a lot, and many other settings have been included and made easier to access as well.
Not to mention the significant improvement of the interface and the system's support for operating on ARM processors, lower consumption of device resources, and gaming features. The latest update is truly comprehensive for all Windows 11 lovers.
