4 must-know Copilot+ PC features

Need a more personalized, streamlined workflow? With Copilot+ PCs new features, you can transform how you interact with your device. These features bring advanced capabilities to your fingertips, allowing you to work and create effortlessly and easily discover more ways to enhance your Windows experience.

1. Improved Windows search for finding what you need

Searching your computer for files shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. But sometimes it does. You vaguely remember saving a file, but not what it was called. Or maybe you’re trying to find that presentation you tweaked last month but can’t remember exactly where it lives. 

Improved Windows Search1 on Copilot+ PCs interprets your intent. So whether you search “budget spreadsheet from last week” or “photos from the trip,” your PC understands what you mean and surfaces the right files, photos, and settings. 

Powered by your PC’s NPU, results are fast—and they work even when you’re offline. Improved Windows search connects the dots, fills in the gaps, and brings forward the files you actually want.

2. Click to Do for acting on what’s on your screen

Need a rewrite? A quick edit? Maybe a background blur for that photo? With Click to Do2, you can highlight any text or image on your screen to unlock quick actions that help you shape content, update visuals, or ask Copilot for insights. 

There’s no app‑hopping or workflow friction—just instant actions that keep your creative momentum intact. It’s your shortcut from intent to impact, all in a single click.

3. The agent in Settings for navigating your Windows Settings

The agent in Settings3 on Copilot+ PCs makes managing your device more intuitive than ever. Just describe what you need—like “Turn on dark mode” or “My mouse pointer is too small”—and the agent guides you to the right setting. With your permission, it can even adjust the setting for you. It interprets your intent and turns complex menus into a simple, conversational experience for supported settings. Whether you want to optimize performance or control your PC by voice, the agent delivers fast, intuitive, and personalized solutions—your assistant for all things Settings.

4. Photos relight for better lighting without a studio

Photos relight4 makes every photo feel like a set you can reshape. Drop in up to three virtual lights, adjust their color and direction, and steer a focus point that keeps your subject perfectly lit. 

Refine brightness, shift intensity, or apply a curated preset in one click to experiment with different looks. Photos relight transforms advanced lighting techniques into an easy, visual editing experience—so you can instantly see the difference and craft photos that feel polished and professional.

Four tools, one smart PC

Copilot+ PCs bring these four essential tools together to create a Windows experience that’s fast, clear, and intuitive. With smarter search, instant on‑screen actions, and more, your PC becomes a true partner in how you work and create.
