And with the release of Windows 11 24H2, Paint will have a new feature for Copilot+ PCs: a generative AI paint feature. This uses Cocreator , an image-generating AI feature, and allows you to select specific parts of an image using a resizable brush, then paint over them to remove them or add new subjects.
The fill function using generative AI is already installed in Adobe's Photoshop, and you can understand what it is by reading the following article. However, Adobe's Photoshop is paid, while Microsoft's Paint is free.

You'll also be able to upscale photos in the Photos app to up to eight times their resolution, which Microsoft says will work so quickly that you can 'enlarge them to up to 4K resolution within seconds.'
Additionally, Copilot+ PC comes with a 'Click to Do' feature that lets you hold down the Windows button and click on an object to have Copilot assist you with anything you see on your screen, like deleting an object in the Photos app or summarizing a long article. This feature also works with the Snipping Tool and Print Screen.
In addition, the search function has been enhanced, allowing users to search for files in natural language without using search operators. The Recall function, which was announced to be disabled by default due to concerns raised by security researchers, has been disabled by default as declared and is now implemented in an opt-in format. In addition, Windows Hello biometric authentication is required to use the Recall function, and the database including screenshots is encrypted.

Windows 11 version 2H24 will be rolled out gradually from October 2, 2024, with some features being delivered first to Windows Insider Program subscribers and then gradually rolled out to select devices and markets from November. Microsoft said it plans to add more features in the coming months.
