What’s New in Windows 11 KB5058499?
This update introduces a wide range of enhancements and fixes, particularly focused on Copilot+ PCs. One major highlight is the expansion of Copilot+ features to the European Economic Area (EEA), allows users in that region to benefit from intelligent text actions in Spanish and French.
Additionally, a new ‘Ask Copilot’ option is being added to the Click to Do feature. When you highlight text or images, this action will suggest opening Copilot with the selected content preloaded.
For users on AMD and Intel-powered Copilot+ devices, Click to Do now includes useful text actions such as summarizing, creating bullet lists, or rewriting highlighted content.
Windows Search has been improved, especially for Copilot+ PCs, by enabling natural language queries—users no longer need to recall exact setting names. EU users can now search for cloud photos directly from the taskbar.
Accessibility also gets a boost with Narrator’s new ability to describe images, charts, and graphs, making Windows more inclusive for blind or low-vision users.
Keyboard shortcuts have been enhanced—pressing Win + C launches Copilot, and holding it for two seconds begins a voice interaction. The Alt + Spacebar combo also supports voice-based commands.
A new cross-device resume feature is rolling out, allow users to pick up OneDrive file edits from their phones when unlocking their PCs.
For IT administrators, new energy saver controls are now available through Group Policy and MDM, helping manage battery life and background activity more efficiently.
Multimedia and display settings see improvements too. Users can now stream HDR content even if HDR is turned off, and Dolby Vision settings are independently adjustable.
The Settings app now includes a new FAQs section under System > About, helping users with common queries about performance, setup, and compatibility.
Mouse settings have been reorganized under Settings > Accessibility, making them easier to find. The Windows Share window gains new image editing tools like crop, rotate, and filter options.
File management is improved with a new drag tray area that appears when dragging local files, and allows quick sharing to suggested apps. The taskbar also gets smarter, enabling admins to enforce policies that prevent specific app icons from being repinned after removal.
This update also delivers a number of important bug fixes. These include resolve BSOD issues with BitLocker on removable drives, fixing slow rendering of early boot screens, and addressing a graphics kernel problem that affected game responsiveness. Additional fixes target memory leaks in the Input Service, camera preview issues during Windows Hello Face Enrollment, network mislabeling on domain controllers, USB disconnects after sleep, and display inconsistencies upon wake.
There is a known issue affecting the rendering of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) text in Chromium-based browsers at 96 DPI. This can cause blurry or misaligned characters due to the introduction of Noto fonts. Microsoft recommends increasing display scaling to 125% or 150% as a temporary workaround.
