Microsoft is testing new AI-powered features in Windows 11 File Explorer, enabling users to interact with images and documents without opening them. Known as "AI actions," these features currently support background removal, object erasure, and background blurring for image files. Additionally, a reverse image search tool using Bing is included. These features are being rolled out to Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel with Build 27938. The new AI actions allow users to right-click on supported files to access editing tools and Copilot functionality directly from File Explorer. A new privacy setting has also been introduced to control third-party access to Windows' generative AI models.
