Windows 11 KB5055627: What’s new
This update introduces powerful new features driven by AI and enhanced system intelligence, along with a long list of critical bug fixes that improve performance, reliability, and accessibility across the OS.
One of the headline features is Recall (preview), an AI-powered tool exclusive to Copilot+ devices. It allows users to search for anything they’ve seen or done on their PC—apps, websites, documents—simply by describing it. The system relies on snapshots of activity taken throughout the day, which are stored securely and accessed via Windows Hello.
To use Recall, you will need to opt-in to save snapshots, which are images of your activity, and enroll in Windows Hello to confirm your presence so only you can access your snapshots.
Another major addition is Click to Do (preview), which simplifies how users act on items shown on-screen. With simple keyboard shortcuts or gestures, users can select images or text and take direct actions, like editing, summarizing, or rewriting, using built-in apps and AI capabilities. Again, this feature is exclusive for Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, where advanced text handling is enabled through Microsoft’s Phi Silica small language model.
Search has also received a major overhaul. With semantic search models now built into Windows Search, finding files or settings is easier and more flexible. Users can use natural phrases like “change my theme” or “summer picnic photos,” even when offline, thanks to the power of onboard NPUs. These enhancements extend to File Explorer and the Settings app, improving usability across the board.
Other notable updates include a revamped Narrator experience, allowing users to review and copy the most recent spoken content, and expanded Phone Link integration, which now surfaces mobile controls directly in the Start menu.
It also brings many other changes and improvements, like interactive widgets and lock-screen widgets in Windows 11 24H2. Microsoft has also mentioned that these features might not be available to all users at once because they will roll out gradually.
It resolves a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue affecting Intel devices with specific audio drivers, addresses problems with Windows Hello after a system reset, and fixes network connectivity dropouts after resuming from sleep.
Additional fixes include File Explorer performance, taskbar navigation, external GPU detection, Sysprep and setup errors, and more.
Well two known issues are highlighted in the KB5055627 update:
- Roblox issue on Arm devices – Users on Arm-based PCs may be unable to download or play Roblox from the Microsoft Store.
- Citrix-related installation failure – Devices with Citrix Session Recording Agent version 2411 might not complete installation of the January 2025 security update.
