What's Coming in Windows 12
Copilot+ Deep Shell Integration
AI suggestions surface contextually inside File Explorer, Settings, clipboard, and Task Manager. All inference runs locally on the NPU via the AI Runtime Layer.
Modular NT Kernel (Hudson Valley)
Independently updatable kernel subsystems. Security patches applied as live updates without rebooting in the majority of cases.
40+ TOPS NPU Requirement
A dedicated Neural Processing Unit gates AI features including Recall, Live Captions, Cocreator, and Proactive Intelligence. Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD qualify.
AI Recall Rebuilt in Secure Enclave
Semantic timeline search rebuilt inside Secure Enclave 2.0. Biometric gated via Windows Hello. Fully local. No cloud uploads ever.
Fluent UI 3 & Living Mica
Dynamic Mica surfaces adapt to your wallpaper palette across every OS surface in real time. Spring-physics MDL3 animation system.
Repositionable Floating Taskbar
The taskbar can be placed left, right, top, or bottom. Defaults to a centered pill shape with full glassmorphism.
