Windows 11 tips and monthly release notes

Eric Mo delivers the Windows 11 release notes for September 2025, highlighting updates across the taskbar, File Explorer, privacy controls, widgets, and Copilot+ PC experiences. He calls out a new grid view for image search from the taskbar, Task Manager’s shift to standardized CPU metrics across pages, and a new privacy surface in Settings that shows which third-party apps have used Windows-provided generative AI models—plus controls to allow or block app access. For widgets, he points to a refreshed Discover Feed experience with more organization and dashboards. On the Copilot+ PC side, he notes a first-run interactive tutorial for Click to Do and a new Recall homepage that surfaces recent activity and frequently used apps and websites to help users resume work faster. He closes with a quick Windows 11 widgets tip, including the Windows+W shortcut and how to tune the feed with “hide,” “more like this,” “less like this,” and publisher/topic follow controls.

We produced this as a clean, pre-recorded streamed update designed to land fast and clearly—no wandering, no fluff, no “wait, which setting was that?” confusion. We kept the structure tight, supported the highlights with simple on-screen guidance, and polished the final cut so each feature callout feels purposeful and easy to remember. Then we delivered it as a smooth multi-channel stream, leaving the client with a crisp monthly asset you can replay and share as much as you'd like.
