Windows 11 2024 Update (24H2) – all the new features



It’s that time of the year again. Windows 11’s annual major feature update is just around the corner, version 24H2. This update includes many features, including expanded Voice Clarity, new power settings, taskbar improvements, File Explorer improvements, Copilot+ PC exclusives and much more. Unlike 23H2, 24H2 is based on a new release of the Windows platform (Germanium), requiring a full in place upgrade.

Most features will be available immediately after updating, but some may be on a gradual rollout (such as Start menu account manager changes). Make sure you have KB5043178 (26100.1882) or newer installed to get all the features in this video. Some features are also available in version 23H2, but for many 24H2 is the first time they’ll see them. Some 24H2 features may be backported to 23H2 in the coming months.

  1. Just a side not, i tried the old trick of blocking internet during install of 24H2 and it installed home edition on a fresh install from the iso. I have wire ethernet but also wifi on the motherboard. So when I blocked the internet at the router windows was trying to log in thru wifi, but I had told it to forget the wifi password. I had to click re try to log in thru wifi over 10 times before it finally let me create a local account in home edition.

  2. Are the Beta builds still not on par with this? I've been on Beta for years on two devices and still don't have some of the features in 24H2 like the quick settings changes…

  3. honestly i wanted 24h2 to be a update mainly for theme, there is still a lot aspect of windows that down't match with windows 11… it's been 3 years since windows 11 released and they haven't updated entire ui of windows to match the latest version of windows 11

  4. Wifi refresh button,phone link storage in explorer,game optimization,adaptive refresh rate,print pause,wifi with qr, NOT PRE-INSTALLED=>>mail,calender,people,maps,movies&tv,cortona,tips and wordpad

  5. Good video. You missed if you go to explorer and right click properties of any drive the "clean up" option is gone from tools. Also clean up button next to the circular graph is now "details" which if you click brings up the new storage manager in settings. So finding the cleanup is much harder snd hidden within many menus.
