The number of Windows Insiders testing the features is likely to be small at this stage, as Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2415 (KB5046723) can only be accessed on Copilot+ PCs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Support for devices running AMD and Intel chips is “coming soon,” Microsoft said in a blog post.
The announcement marks the next step toward a full release for a feature that was labeled a “privacy nightmare” upon its announcement in May.
A planned rollout in June was postponed in response, and Microsoft has attempted to address security and privacy concerns with several updates. This includes making the feature “opt-in,” requiring biometric authentication with Windows Hello prior to use, blocking detection of personal details such as credit card details and passwords, and the addition of a “virtualization-based security enclave” (VBS Enclave) to secure data on a user’s device.
