Windows 11 Keeps Delaying AI Feature as Windows 10 Nears End

Windows fans waiting for a new AI feature might feel like they're watching a rerun. Microsoft has delayed the 'Recall' feature for Copilot+ PCs again, just days before it was supposed to roll out. This isn't new for Microsoft, which often keeps quiet until the last minute about feature delays or cancellations. This time, Recall was set for an October launch, but it's now expected in December. It’s like watching a movie where the main event keeps getting postponed. Still, the feature’s delay isn’t shocking since Microsoft's track record with updates is questionable. Even the cool Android app support for Windows 11 got pushed back without a clear reason.

Windows 10 is on its way out, but Microsoft is giving consumers an option to pay $30 for an extra year of security updates. Businesses have a pricier plan that can last up to three years, which makes sense due to the higher cost of upgrading multiple PCs. It might seem unfair that consumers don’t get the same extension, but businesses pay more, and Microsoft isn’t obligated to extend support for free. Microsoft also updated Windows Hello for Insiders in the Beta channel. It looks nicer, but function is more important. The Hello camera can be slow to boot, making it less useful than typing a PIN. The improvements to managing passkeys are a plus, though they might not be as helpful for those switching devices often. Overall, it’s been a slow week for Windows news. Let’s see what next week brings.
