Windows 11: Microsoft Revamps File Explorer with Artificial Intelligence

Redazione RHC : 12 September 2025 17:58

Microsoft has begun testing new AI-powered features in File Explorer in Windows 11. These features will allow users to interact with images and documents directly from File Explorer, without having to open files in separate apps.

The new feature is called “AI Actions” and currently works with JPG, JPEG, and PNG images, allowing you to do the following:

  • Remove Background in Paint: Quickly cut out the background of an image, leaving only the Subject;
  • Remove Objects with the Photos app: Remove unwanted elements from photos using generative AI.
  • Blur Background using the Photos app: Focuses on the subject while blurring the background.
  • Search Images with Bing Visual Search: Visual Search with Bing finds similar images, objects, landmarks, and more across the web.

“AI Actions in File Explorer make working with files faster and easier—just right-click, for example, to edit an image or get a summary of a document,” say Microsoft representatives Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc.

These new features are available in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27938. Along with these, another useful feature has been introduced: under Settings > Privacy & Security > Text & Image Generation, you now see a list of third-party apps that have recently used Windows local generative AI models.

You can view this activity and manage these apps’ access to AI features.

In early May, Microsoft also introduced AI agents, intelligent assistants that can change Windows settings with a voice or text command. These features are now available on Copilot+ PCs and Snapdragon processors.
