According to the source Albacore (@thebookisclosed), Microsoft is preparing new features for the next major update of Win11 (or Win12), mainly focusing on smart notifications, Spotlight activities, cursor indicators, Depth of field effect, “Your devices” tab, energy saving page and more.

The content based on the foreign technology media pureinfotech, attached the unreleased functions/features of Microsoft Win11 / Win12 as follows:


Smart notifications

The user opens the “Settings” > “System” > “Notifications” path, and a new “Enable smart notification filtering during standard working hours” option is added to the “Notifications” settings.

It’s unclear how this feature works, but it is estimated that after users enable this option, some non-work-related notifications will be blocked during normal office hours, thereby reducing the interference of other notifications with your work.


Spotlight activities:

In “Settings” > “Privacy & Security” > “Camera”, a new “Spotlight activity” option is added to the page to display suspicious peripheral and sensor usage.

Mouse Cursor Indicator

In Settings > Accessibility > Mouse Pointer & Touch, there’s a new option to enable “Pointer indicator,” which adds a crosshair effect for better positioning of the mouse pointer.

The company has even added the “Windows Key + Ctrl + X” keyboard shortcut. Note: This is not a brand new feature, it is just now integrated into the Settings app.
Your device tab in the Settings app

On the home page of the Settings app, Microsoft is working on adding a new card called “Your Device” that will include basic technical hardware and software information about your device. Some of this information includes Windows 11’s processor, memory, version .

Energy Saver:

In Settings > System > Power, the “Battery Saver” setting is renamed “Energy Saver.”

Depth of field effect

In Settings > Personalization > Background, it was discovered that Microsoft is working on a new Depth of Field feature that adds a parallax effect to background images as you move your mouse.

In earlier versions, the feature was noted to use AI, but in the latest update to Windows 11, Canary Channel removed the “AI” reference, which may indicate that the feature won’t use AI.

Microsoft officially issued a press release today. In the Windows version of the OneNote application, the meeting details have been improved to help users quickly overview the content before and after the meeting, so as to quickly host or follow up the meeting.

Microsoft said in a blog post that the “Meeting Details” option is still located in the same position at the top of the application ribbon. After users click it, it will bring up the right panel where they can view and insert details about the meeting.

Microsoft said that it will further improve the OneNote application’s support for meeting content in the future, and will integrate the Microsoft Loop service to collaboratively create meeting notes in the future.

It is learned from reports that Microsoft also plans to launch “Suggested Contextual” in the OneNote application and add foldable sections to the application to facilitate user navigation and browsing.

However, these new meeting-oriented features are only available to users who sign up for Microsoft Teams Premium service, and OneNote users will be able to add additional notes and tasks made through the meeting review feature.

In August this year, Microsoft launched an internal beta test of the Bing Chat plug-in for a small number of users. However, due to performance or quality issues, this feature was quietly offline some time ago.

According to Windows Latest, the problem has been resolved and Bing Chat has restarted testing the third-party plug-in function. Some users have seen this function again last weekend.

Many users have reported that Bing Chat on both desktop and mobile devices has updated support for third-party plug-ins, but this feature only appears in Microsoft Edge Canary, and only five plug-ins are supported in the first batch. A list of plug-ins as follows :

 Instacart: This add-on lets you discover recipes and ingredients and interact with "answers" using Bing Chat.

 Kayak: This is a plug-in that helps users easily book flights and can be used to plan travel. However, Microsoft is currently unable to place orders directly and can only provide suggestions.

 Klarna: Price comparison plug-in that allows US users to compare product price history and multi-platform prices.

 OpenTable: Plugin for restaurant reservations.

 Shop: Plugin for comparing prices and buying products.

Additionally, these plugins now run significantly faster. Microsoft previously revealed that its Bing Chat had received infrastructure upgrades to its AI capabilities, which seemed to explain why the plug-in is now performing better.

Microsoft also says that you can only use up to three plug-ins in a conversation. If you want to switch between plugins, you need to open a new conversation topic.

It is worth mentioning that Bing Chat may support more plug-ins in the future. Microsoft has previously said that the new ChatGPT plug-in will be gradually added to Bing, which means you will be able to experience more third-party plug-ins at some point in the future.

Microsoft announced that it will cooperate with Inworld AI to develop Xbox tools to enable developers to create AI-based characters, stories and tasks.

According to reports, this cooperation will mainly include an “AI Design Copilot” system, which Xbox developers can use to create detailed scripts, dialogue trees, task lines, etc.

“At Xbox, we believe that with better tools, creators can make more extraordinary games,” explained Zhang Haiyan, general manager of Xbox Game AI.

She said the collaboration will bring together Inworld’s expertise in using generative AI models for character development, Microsoft’s cloud-based AI solutions, including Azure OpenAI services, Microsoft Research’s technical insights into future games, and the Xbox team’s work on The advantages of creator tools are designed to serve all developers.

It is seen from official information that this multi-platform artificial intelligence toolset will include “AI Design Copilot” for scripts and dialogues, as well as an AI character that can be integrated into games and used to dynamically generate stories, tasks and dialogues.

Microsoft also mentioned that Inworld has been working on AI NPCs that can react to player actions on their own, much like ChatGPT or Bing Chat respond to user queries.

They believe these AI NPCs will have unique responses, such as vocal tones, and bring storylines to the game with a variety of possible dialogues or faces.

“Artificial intelligence has long been an integral part of game development, with applications ranging from AI enemies to spawning processes and more,” said Ilya Gelfenbeyn, CEO of Inworld AI. “Large-scale language models and generative AI The emergence of the game opens up new opportunities for storytelling and character interaction in games.”

Of course, the use of generative AI in creative fields like game design or voice acting is controversial, such as when the Screen Actors Guild of America (SAG-AFTRA) recently voted to authorize a strike by game performers.

“Between leveraging AI and low wages, people working in video games face many of the same issues as those working in the film and television industries,” said Ray Rodriguez, chief contracts officer at SAG-AFTRA.

Microsoft’s Edge browser is becoming more and more feature-rich, and the latest Edge Canary update brings a new hidden feature that can improve user interaction with website images.

The feature, called “Magnify image,” allows users to right-click on any image and preview it in a larger window without leaving the current tab. In addition to enlarging the image, the feature can also display its alt text or short description.

▲ Apple’s official press release picture floating window, source Neowin

Users can force enable it by modifying the Edge Canary shortcut using commands. A tutorial on how to enable it has been attached:

 Update Microsoft Edge Canary browser to 120.0.2198 or higher.

 Right-click the Edge Canary shortcut and select Properties.

 Click the Target input box, add a space after the path, and then add the following command:

–enable-features=msEdgeImageMagnifyUI

 Click "OK" in the properties window to save changes.

 Open Edge Canary's Settings > System & Performance and turn off Startup Enhancements. If this feature is turned off, you can skip this step.
 Close the browser and launch Edge Canary again with the modified shortcut.

 Jump to a web page at will, then right-click the image and click "Magnify image".

It’s worth noting that Google is working on a similar feature for Chrome. Unlike Edge, Chrome allows previewing links in a small window, similar to Apple’s macOS feature of long-pressing a link to preview its content.
