Trying to keep up with all of the latest Windows 11 features (fave.co/3Jcncrn) can be confusing, especially during the Microsoft Build rush in May when Microsoft releases new features, then announces others. This year was no different, with Microsoft unleashing a torrent of new Windows 11 features ranging from practical (fave.co/ 3PaWuTI) to fantastical. But what’s coming and when?
Microsoft now releases new features in what are colloquially known as “Moments.” These Moments can occur at any time, which makes it even more confusing. The company unveiled Windows 11’s “Moment 3” at Build with a host of exciting new features coming very soon—but Microsoft also tipped off even more goodies that are due at a future date.
We’ll outline which new Windows features are arriving in the current Moment 3, and which will be sent to your PC later on.
THE WINDOWS 11 MOMENT 3 FEATURES
The Moment 3 features, which we’ll outline below, are considered optional. They arrived in what’s known as the “June 2023 optional non-security preview release for Windows 11,” on “Patch Tuesday,” or June 13. They arrived without fanfare, but they do require a reboot after you perform a background installation.
