The Windows operating system has undergone continuous improvement and evolution. Many tasks that used to require cumbersome procedures have been eliminated from repeated operations in the past. Overall, they have become friendlier and simpler. Backup and restore are the best examples. Among the many exciting features added to the recently launched Windows 11 Build 23493 preview for developers, one of the most popular items is the improved backup and restore of Windows 11. If you use this feature frequently, it will be A big boon.
New Windows 11 features make backup and restore easier
You may remember that in the developer preview version Build 23466 launched in May this year, Microsoft introduced improvements to backup and restore functions and introduced a new Windows backup application. Fast forward to the present, and the feature has expanded from just apps installed from the Microsoft Store to PC apps not installed from the Microsoft Store.
With this update, users will be able to find the restore icon for desktop applications on the taskbar and start menu, even if they are not installed from the Microsoft Store, they can be easily restored. For the applications provided in the application store, the user only needs to press the pushpin on the application to start the restoration process, and you don’t have to go to the store to find them one by one. For items not installed in the app store, the user will be assigned the corresponding installer under the lane-specific website.
To experience this new feature, developers must first update the backup and restore device to the latest version, which can be started during the out-of-box experience (OOBE), while setting up a new computer, or using the settings menu to reset an existing computer.
In addition, the long-awaited Windows Copilot, which has been officially released before, has finally come out, and Microsoft AI assistive tools are now available for members of the developer experience version to use in this new version. This highly anticipated centralized AI assistant tool is well worth exploring. You can control almost any setting in the operating system with the help of simple prompts. For example, you can ask Windows Copilot to enable dark mode, and it will directly do it for you. Open Settings to set it up like you did in the past.
