According to the latest news, the next major version update for Windows 11, known internally as "Moment 5" and "February 2024 Moment", is expected to arrive at the end of February. This update will bring users a range of exciting new features, including artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can help users organize their desktop environment more organically. At the same time, this update will also introduce some customization options for Windows Search, with users having the option to disable Bing Search, especially in the EU region. In addition, EU users will also get the ability to uninstall Microsoft Edge, and Notepad has been updated.
This update was introduced to meet the requirements of the European Union's new legislation, the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Although this update brings some new features and tweaks, its main goal is to bring Windows 11 into compliance with the legal requirements of the European Union. This is undoubtedly a major win for Windows 11 users in the EU, who can now disable Bing in Windows Search and choose a different search provider, as well as uninstall pre-installed apps like Microsoft Edge.
For users in other regions, while it is not possible to immediately enjoy the convenience of these updates, there is at least one possibility that can be seen from them. We expect to follow the EU's lead and provide users with more choice and control.
As for how to try out the update, users can go to their PC's Settings app and select Windows Update in the left-hand menu. Once you click on the "Check for Updates" button, Windows will search for and ** newly released updates.
This upcoming update will undoubtedly bring a range of conveniences and improvements to Windows 11 users. We look forward to how it performs in the future and hope it will bring more choice and control to users.
