Windows 11 Build 26217 hints at AI Component updates via Windows Update | Laptop News

Microsoft is rolling out Windows 11 Build 26217 to testers in the Canary channel, and it has some minor bug fixes. However, Build 26217 points to a new hidden page in the Settings for managing “AI component updates”. Similar to Windows security updates, you’ll be able to manage updates for AI components.

As noticed by Microsoft watcher Phantom on X, the company is testing the secret AI Component updates page in Settings. Microsoft watcher Xeno also noticed that musupdatehandlers2.dll.mui includes references to “AI component updates”, but the references do not reveal anything about the upcoming features.

Windows Latest was also able to independently confirm references to the new settings page, and it looks like it will allow you to view updates installed for AI. AI Components could be anything related to features like AI Explorer, also known as Recall and Snapshots in newer preview builds.

As shown in the above screenshot, the new page for managing AI updates is under the Update History tab of Windows updates.

You won’t see anything on the page because no “AI components” are being updated for now. However, this could change when Snapdragon X PCs arrive in the market.

Other references to AI in Windows 11, including AIHost.exe
