IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR again when Microsoft rolls out a major update to Windows. Despite claiming it was moving away from such huge announcements, Windows 11 23H2 (also dubbed ‘Moments 4’) contains a surprising number of new features, as well as welcome tweaks to existing ones.
By now, you may be aware of some of them, as features have been rolling out quietly since September. But with the flick of the switch at the end of October, all users should now be able to access the vast bulk of what Windows 11 version 23H2 has to offer.
