You can either talk or type to give commands and control your PC naturally. Microsoft has stated that Ask Copilot does not have access to your personal files or data, ensuring your privacy remains safe. You can enable this option by going to Settings, then Personalization, then Taskbar, and selecting Ask Copilot.
Another major change in this update is the wider rollout of the Full-Screen Experience (FSE) for handheld gaming devices. Previously, this feature was available only on certain devices like the Asus ROG Ally X, but now it works on more models such as the MSI Claw series.

This update improves the gaming experience by making it smoother, boosting performance, and allowing quicker switching between games and other tasks. With this, Microsoft is clearly improving support for gaming on portable Windows devices.
The update also introduces a new Shared Audio feature that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio. This feature allows two Bluetooth devices to connect and share the same audio at once. It’s a good option for watching movies or listening to songs together. To use it, you just need to open Quick Settings, select your Bluetooth devices, and start sharing audio with one tap.
Apart from these main updates, Microsoft has made several smaller changes to make the system faster and more stable. There is now improved x64 app emulation on ARM-based devices using Prism’s emulator, allowing apps to run more smoothly and efficiently.
The update also fixes problems found in the Start menu, File Explorer, Settings, and Lock Screen. These changes help make the experience of using Windows 11 more stable overall.
In conclusion, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7051 brings new AI tools, better gaming performance, and easier audio sharing. The update makes Windows 11 quicker, more powerful, and more fun to use. Microsoft has also said that more updates with extra improvements and features will come soon to make Windows 11 even better.
