Microsoft is finally pushing Windows 11 Beta Insiders to version 24H2, and yeah—this one’s packed with features. There’s a new AI agent baked right into the Settings app available immediately to Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs with Windows 11.

The first build, 26120.3964 (KB5058496), brings some of the biggest under-the-hood changes we’ve seen in a while. .

Microsoft recently detailed some of the biggest AI features coming to Windows 11. So, consider this rollout as Microsoft’s slow-but-steady rollout of smarter, local AI across Windows 11.

One of the most noticeable features is the AI agents in the Settings app of Windows 11. You may ask how are they helpful, right? Well, instead of digging through menus, you can now just type what you want—like “how to turn off touchpad” or “make my text bigger.

That’s all, and the new AI agent in the Settings app will either guide you to make those changes or simply do it for you. The new feature is rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders in the Beta Channel with Snapdragon-based Copilot+ PCs.

Microsoft says support for Intel and AMD models is coming soon. For now, it works only if your system is set to English. Remember, AI agents run locally on Windows inside the Settings app, meaning it’s faster and more private. The latest update also adds Click to Do, and fixes other knows issues.
