Top 6 new features and changes coming to Windows 11 in August 2025 — from AI agents to redesigned BSOD screens

Windows 11 Start menu.

Microsoft has announced that a bunch of new features are on the way to Windows 11, with the rollout starting now. Most users won't see these features land on their PCs until sometime in August, however. So, here's a preview of the top 6 new features on the way in the coming month.

If you want to gain access to these new features sooner, make sure the "Get the latest updates as they become available" option is toggled in Windows Update. This will ensure you're running the latest bits as Microsoft rolls them out. All of these features should be generally available by the end of August.
