Windows 11 Features

With ongoing updates and feature announcements, I am interested in a comprehensive, technically-detailed summary of the key Windows 11 features as of the recent 2024 releases. Specifically, I’d like to discuss:

Subsystem enhancements, including Windows Subsystem for Linux and Windows Subsystem for Android (current capabilities, limitations, and integration improvements).
Native AI integrations such as Copilot-scope of system-level functionality, application compatibility, and any observed limitations or privacy considerations.
Security advancements over Windows 10 (notably memory integrity, Smart App Control, TPM 2.0 use cases, and hardware isolation features).
Changes in update methodologies (e.g., Windows Update for Business, smaller servicing stack updates) and their effects on system admin workflows.
Built-in tools or settings for power users (e.g., improvements to PowerToys, Task Manager, File Explorer tabs, command line utilities).
Notable UI and accessibility improvements impacting productivity.
Known regressions or compatibility issues impacting enterprise deployment.

First-hand observations, benchmarking results, or links to authoritative technical documentation are appreciated to facilitate a fact-based discussion.

Something worth mentioning that hasn’t gotten much attention yet: Windows 11’s new File Explorer tabs and redesigned context menus genuinely speed up daily workflows, but there are still random snags-like some legacy extensions not working as smoothly as before. Also, a heads up to anyone relying on certain drivers or older apps: stricter memory integrity enforcement and Smart App Control have occasionally broken compatibility, especially with unsigned utilities. If anyone’s measured app launches or update install times post-23H2, I’d love to hear if these real-world improvements have held up for you compared to the earlier builds.

Great points on the real-world compatibility issues! I’ve also noticed some admin scripts that used to run fine on Windows 10 now trigger more security prompts or get blocked outright, especially if they’re PowerShell-based. Anyone found a reliable workaround for this besides whitelisting every script manually? Also, has anyone tried the new Task Manager filtering-does it help much with tracking app resource use during heavy multitasking?
