The Photos app has not been left behind, boasting a novel feature known as Background blur. This feature enhances image resolution and applies blur effects, providing a fresh perspective on photo editing. Enhanced search capabilities simplify the process of locating photos in OneDrive, with users able to search using keywords related to objects, locations, or dates. Furthermore, a new slideshow feature organizes photos into a presentation for sharing with family and friends.
Voice functionality has also received an upgrade, expanding its usage across various aspects of Windows 11, including during the login process. Users can now dictate complex and nonstandard words through the improved spelling experience, with corrections being made for any inaccuracies. Narrator, Microsoft’s screen-reading tool, now supports additional languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English (UK, India).
Incorporated into Windows OS, the Passkeys tool creates unguessable credentials, enabling users to sign in using facial recognition, fingerprints, or a device PIN. This functionality extends to multiple browsers, including Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and more.
Adaptive Dimming is yet another novel feature designed to help users conserve energy. When the PC presence sensor detects a lack of user attention, it gradually dims the screen, reducing energy consumption. It can also serve as a gentle alert to refocus if attention has wandered.
