Microsoft has released a September preview update for Windows 11, offering improvements to the File Explorer, Bluetooth performance, and laying the groundwork for future features. The update, labeled KB51224010, is available as an optional download through Windows Update and is expected to be included in the broader Patch Tuesday update soon. These changes aim to refine the user experience and prepare for upcoming enhancements. File Explorer, the system’s file management tool, now includes new features such as a button in the side preview panel that allows users to view HTML files downloaded from the web. The Home screen of File Explorer now remembers the state of sections—whether they are expanded or collapsed—between sessions, making navigation more intuitive. Additionally, the Copilot key, which is used to activate Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant, can now be customized. Users can assign it to function as the right Ctrl key or use it to trigger the context menu through the settings. The update also introduces new touchpad gestures, such as one-finger scrolling and automatic scrolling, improving the experience for laptop users. The update supports the latest set of emojis from version 17.0, which includes both new emojis and redesigned versions of existing ones. A new Tips widget has been added to the system, offering users guidance on how to best use Windows 11. Bluetooth users will notice improvements in reliability and connectivity, with fixes aimed at making wireless device pairing and usage more seamless. For accessibility, the built-in magnifier has been updated with a modern design, and users can now set applications to open maximized by default, improving visibility and usability. Microsoft has also made changes to its backup strategy, removing the built-in Windows Backup feature for transferring data between PCs. This shift emphasizes cloud-based solutions, with a new setting that allows users to automatically save photos from the photo roll directly to OneDrive. The update includes a variety of bug fixes and performance improvements across the operating system, ensuring a more stable and efficient user experience.
