Overview

  • Microsoft has launched three new AI tools—Recall, improved Windows search, and Click to Do—for Copilot+ PCs as part of the April 2025 Windows non-security preview update.
  • Recall, now opt-in, captures on-device screenshots to help users resume tasks, with enhanced privacy measures like local processing, encryption, and Windows Hello authentication.
  • The updated Windows search feature enables natural-language queries across File Explorer, the search box, and Settings, simplifying file and content discovery.
  • Click to Do offers contextual AI actions such as summarizing, rewriting, and editing text or images, including removing objects from PDFs with a single click.
  • Copilot+ PCs require advanced hardware, currently limited to Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, with AMD and Intel support expected later this year.
