So basically even though this isn't technically the 23H2 update, it still contains all the new features for this year. The actual "23H2" update later will literally just update the version number and apparently nothing else (being called an "enablement package"). Not sure why they are doing it that way but it do be like that.
@andljoy

They have used enablement packages for a while , most if not all updates for a major version 22H2 etc are already there , the enablement package is almost literally just a PowerShell script to enable them and bump the version number. They do still ship full updates for going from an older version , for example 1809 to 20H2 need a full update of a few GB but if you had at least 2009 ( i think , its been a while since i did our rollout) it was just a tiny update package. Same with 20H2 to 22H2 (win10) it was a tiny enablement package ( and saved me a lot of stress :P)

That backup app is similar to Google's Android backup - with that, it generates a manifest of apps to reinstall, settings dump, and specific folders. Apps that are designed to use the Backup API can have some data/settings backed up, otherwise, they're just redownloaded fresh. Seems like that is what they're aiming for, it's better than nothing (especially if just moving machines), but not a true backup and they definitely need to improve the messaging on that for end users.

Unfortunately i still miss pressing the windows button then typing This PC, dunno why they removed it and why it is not working anymore, and i also would like to get back the ability to map a network drive from the file explorer ribbon.

Wow, Joey, it sounds like they've been taking you, and/or other producers who review this stuff like you do, quite seriously! This update might make me believe they've actually turned 11 from a crappy OS into another good one! I see that we can finally move the taskbar on it now. But do we have to use that window menu or can we just drag it around? And what about adding icons to it by dragging instead of having to go through a menu to do it: have they added that back now too?

The only "new" feature I'm looking for is restoring the ability to move the taskbar. It is profoundly annoying that "upgrading" to 11 means that I am constantly moving the cursor up & down the screen between the window controls at the top and the taskbar at the bottom.

While I do think many of the new features are cool and interesting, I dislike the integration with all the "AI" since it feels very pushy the way microsoft keeps doing that. I also dislike the new outlook since windows wants you to change, but I had the old mail set up just how I like it and I don't want to have to change things on my computer for no reason at all. Either way the new one has ads, so I'm not gonna use it.

Great video Thio! Well... Here goes MY PERSONAL opinion about these updates: "AI, here, AI there, Added AI to boot animation... Disgusting!" I know some of those features are nice - but what bothers me is how Microsoft are implementing them. They keep making their OS worse and worse instead of making something that have quality - that actually allows real people being creative / making them get their job done. A proof of that? Sure! You see those small system settings / tweaks that was listed? They should be already there on the first release of this OS! But no... Why not give focus into making money by implementing ads system-wide? (Take note that I'm not mentioning about all risks about this whole AI thing - if you take this in consideration, everything gets worse!) If they really wants me to migrate to a new OS version, they will need to create something that respect me as a user: Give me a product!. Want to add ads? Go for it - just give me an option to disable it. Want to collect data? Same thing - add an option to disable all data collection! Well... If this Windows version (and next ones) be 100% focused on AI / Online connectivity... You can forget me. But I know all what I listed above will never be done by this company so... I will keep using Win 10 (+AME) / Linux Mint. Do you disagree with something? I will love speaking with everyone. Respect, of couse and let's talk about. Cheers, TheMitoSan 💜

Only agree regarding fully AI and online part but no. The AI features are amazing and they add on to productivity, ease of use for home and business users. Example: Think about removing backgrounds with ease in Paint, especially ones that are harder to properly get rid of. This really helps save time. Think about OCR (Text extraction) and very quick censor of all personal data within Snipping Tool. Those things might not seem like much but they highly improve comfort use of the system and it's tools and actually do pile up to save up some decent amount of time over the months or years. and The whole trend on hating AI is dumb. I think we should start fighting the people that use the AI in wrong ways, train it unethically with data they have no rights to, instead of fighting the technology itself. It's going to help everyone in the long run, even if some people will go down from it. I'm all in for future unless they do make have it in every single part of system such as Settings, etc. (Notice how I don't say in every APP instead - That is because I do not mind more AI integrations and do not see it as nearly as bad of a thing as people make it out to be).

@@LugiDergX Hello, doing fine? Thanks for your reply! 💜 Y'know, I like all those features that were presented and I don't think it's wrong adding new ones - since they actually helps doing a lot of stuff! Yes, OCR is something that helps a lot when you need to copy text from anywhere and it saves a lot of time - Same for new features on Paint! Seeing it being able to do more stuff makes me feel happy - since it is a way-too-simple tool (at least for me). It manages to get job done? Yes! But it is a very limited tool. Complementing what I wrote on my original comment: I think they had oportunity to make the system better by eliminating all rough edges from base OS and then, adding new features. In the end, if those features make the whole OS better - I don't see why not implementing them. The problem is HOW they are making it. Don't take me bad, I always feel exited when there's new tech around - it's the proof that we are getting better every day in what we do! (Yes, I'm a freelancer dev). But I just can't see AI (at least for now) as a good thing. The reason is simple: As the same way it brings a lot of new good stuff / tools to make our work / life better, it also doubles down in bringing new risks and how people / companies will use it unfairly. I agree on teaching / lecturing people that makes bad use of this tech but... I'm not sure about how it would come to. It's like giving a gun to everyone and gently saying that they shound't shoot anyone because it's something bad. Also: You got me curious with the "train it unethically with data they have no rights to" line. It sounds like you were enphatisating they should get data regardless of where it came to make it better. Is this true? Hope I did got this one wrong. And about inserting AI on every pore of the system? Yep - as we can (sadly) see, they are going for it. It started by adding a shortcut for a tab that you can interact with it. But this same tab can interact with some system parts - it already can change basic settings and more. It can get a good use - of course! Try thinking about not needing to know where an specific setting is located. I just need to ask it and it will change (whatever it is) to me. I know this can be a good thing - even for those who needs ease of use! But for the average user, I can't see we becoming more lazier with it. Using this same way of thinking, We will not need a settings app in the future! Why I would do need to change something manually if the magical AI Tab can do it for me? AI (as I know) requires a gigantic quantity of data to be enhanced. And It's very hard to not think they are using this whole data collection to not only serve more and more annoying ads and also feed their Copilots with it. In short - It is like a big double-edged sword: It gives you a lot of power and can be used to bring new things - but it also can kill you. I'm not even sure if KZitem will allow this whole bible being published, but I hope it does XD

@@TheMitoSan I can see a lot of your points, yeah. The AI tech at the moment and people using it for wrong reasons like stealing and stuff is definitely what's bringing out most controversy thus far. I do believe though that we can sort it out and not by lecturing the bad guys, the bad guys will remain the bad guys and not listen but by enforcing proper laws in place to protect artists, writers, musicians, programmers, etc. and generally talk about it all as society. Humanity has always managed to sort of get things done that way and I think we might see AI become actually viewed positively in future. For the training data part, I was referring to the fact how AI art generators supposedly "steal" artist's works, when, in fact, they are just learning to recognize and recreate objects in a similar, yet vastly different way than us, humans do and that what is the actual issue here is those very same tools being trained on people's works without compensation, credit, permission, anything really. It's quite a wild topic out there all around those days, I'm not gonna lie. Either way, I believe we need to make laws for both sides to be as happy as possible, even if there will be some drawbacks as with everything. So yeah, I think that's what I want to say on that.

Don't care about Copilot. What I want from AI, is the ability to have it maintain links between documents when they are moved around, improve identification of formula errors in Excel, filter out other AI generated materials in web sites and videos (like, identifying AI generated voices in videos then tagging them as AI generated or blocking them outright, etc.) Nothing about using AI to do things for me that I can do myself is interesting or needed. I want AI to make my life easier, not remove me from doing things or learning things. Sound settings is interesting, but I still want an Equalizer and the ability to adjust the speaker output between speakers (like, more sound to the left than to the right, that sort of thing.)
