Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

No they're not because I'm on Linux

Microsoft will have AI tracking everything I do and taking screenshots as well. Just what I have been asking for. /s

Windows 11 doesn't even have a working file manager or text editor anymore. This is not a serious operating system.

Notepad and WFE get thrown off hell in a cell into an announcer's table by Kate and Dolphin, respectively, but to say they "don't work" is intellectually lazy and dishonest.

Who are you trying to convince right now? Linux and macOS users are probably never going back to Windows if they can help it, and Windows users will correctly say "but it's right there; I'm using it right now".
