The Windows 11 KB5031455 update takes the OS build to 22621.2506. Since this is a preview update, you might experience some glitches here and there. Also worth mentioning is that while Copilot is part of this update release, you may not see it immediately after installing the update, as Microsoft will broaden its availability over time.

Windows 11 version 23H2 packs many exciting features, of which Copilot, the "never combined" mode in the taskbar, revamped File Explorer, a new Backup app, a new Settings Home page, and Dynamic Lighting are among the most notable ones. Apart from these new features, you also get a host of quality improvements with this update.

To check whether you received the update, open the Settings app by pressing Win key + I on your keyboard, go to Windows Update, and click Check for updates. You can also download and install KB5031455 manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog website. You'll need to restart your PC to complete the installation.
