FULL STORY
======================================================================

Its beginning to look like were getting another Windows 11 update in the 
second half of 2024 which could bring even more artificial intelligence (AI) 
features to the operating system. 

 Windows Latest spotted references to the update, dubbed Hudson Valley and 
also known as Windows 11 24H2, in a support document - and it looks like 
Microsoft might not have wanted the existence of this update to be made 
public. 

However, Windows Latest spotted references to the EnumDeviceDrivers function, 
used by system admins and developers to interact with Windows 11s drivers. 

The document that references this function also mentions Windows 11 Version 
24H2. The document elaborates that update 24H2 will modify how Windows 11 
retrieves information from the EnumDeviceDrivers function. 

You can check out the document for yourself , but its intended for developers 
and other similar professionals, so its a bit of a dry read. AI for the 
Windows guy 

So, there you have it - Microsoft is planning to update 24H2, which we can 
assume its actively working on, and we can look forward to it sometime in Q3 
or Q4 of 2024 if Microsoft doesnt change course. This news follows recent 
reports that made reference to a new preview build thats currently being 
internally tested, which suggests it could be the biggest AI upgrade coming 
to Windows 11 to date. 

The last major Windows 11 update we saw was Windows 11 23H2, which Microsoft 
rolled out at the end of 2023, which included a preview of the Windows 
Copilot AI-powered digital assistant. 

While insiders, tech experts, and Microsoft enthusiasts are eagerly watching 
for any news about the next iteration of Windows, unofficially known as 
Windows 12, Windows Latest also speculated that we may not be getting this 
for a little while. The former head of Windows and Surface at Microsoft, 
Panos Panay, left Microsoft in a surprising move and this leads some to think 
that whoever takes over probably wont begin their tenure at Microsoft by 
heading up the next huge Windows release. 

Microsofts been clear and consistent with its intent to integrate AI into 
multiple Windows features and apps, like Windows Copilot and Cocreator 
AI-powered assistants for apps like Notepad and Paint. This looks like itll 
be the Windows 11 update that will carry on this process and well have to 
keep watching for when more information about Windows 11 24H2 comes out, and 
if Microsoft is indeed putting more AI efforts into Windows 11, it could mean 
Windows 12 wont be here any time soon. You might also like Windows 12: new 
features we want to see Windows 10 apps break after Microsoft Store update, 
no fix in sight Did we just catch our first glimpse of Windows 12? If so, we 
wont get the new OS until 2025
