New Windows 11 Build 26120.3576 Released with Voice Access and Recall Enhancements
Windows 11 Insider Preview: Build 26120.3576 Update Released
The latest update for Windows 11, Build 26120.3576 (KB5053650), has been rolled out for 24H2 insiders. This version brings notable enhancements to Voice Access on Copilot+ devices powered by Snapdragon processors, along with several key fixes across various system features including Recall, Settings, printing, and File Explorer.
Key Features and Enhancements
User-Friendly Voice Access Improvements
This update introduces a more natural voice command feature for users operating on Snapdragon-based Copilot+ PCs. In the past, voice commands required strict adherence to specific phrases, which could lead to confusion and inefficiency. Now, users can issue commands in a more conversational manner. For example, commands such as “Can you open Edge application?” or “Please switch to Microsoft Edge” will be understood and executed correctly.
In addition, if the voice command isn’t recognized, the system will provide real-time suggestions to guide users in formulating their commands, enhancing the overall user experience.
This makes voice access on Copilot+ PCs more intuitive, allowing for smoother interactions. Your feedback is invaluable, so we encourage users to share their experiences.
Additional Updates and Fixes
Beyond the enhancements to voice access, several other changes and bug fixes have been implemented:
