Currently, four image actions are being tested in the latest Windows 11 Dev Channel builds. These include Bing visual search to locate similar images online, the blur background and object removal functionalities in the Photos app, and the background removal tool in Paint.

Additionally, Microsoft plans to test AI actions for Office files, which will allow for document summarization in OneDrive or SharePoint and the quick creation of AI-generated lists. These Office AI actions will initially be available to Microsoft 365 commercial users with a Copilot license, with support for consumers expected later.

It’s not clear if these AI actions can be disabled in the context menu, but they also join an “Ask Copilot” option that Microsoft added to the right-click menu of the File Explorer recently.

Alongside the AI-powered shortcuts in File Explorer, Microsoft is also testing some visual changes to the widgets feature in Windows 11, “with a more organized, personalized, and engaging feed,” according to the Windows Insider team. “In addition, we are introducing Copilot-curated stories into the feed.”

This latest Dev Channel build also includes a new “User Interaction-Aware CPU Power Management” feature, which Microsoft describes as an OS-level change to reduce power consumption on laptops and tablets. “After a period of inactivity on your PC, Windows now conserves power by automatically applying efficient power management policies,” says the Windows Insider team. “This happens seamlessly to save energy while you’re inactive, with full performance instantly restored the moment you get back to it.”
