Learn more about the design and engineering decisions behind the new Windows Search experience. A big thank you to Emma, Yuki, and Yash! 🙌
Last week, we shared the new Windows Search experience and how Search is moving from finding to doing.
The team put together a Beyond the Build makers video, where @YashMisra12 and some of the team share the design and engineering decisions that shaped the experience.
We’ll share more at today’s NYC Insider meetup. See you soon.

We continue to invest across @Windows to make the experience faster, more dependable and more useful every day, while expanding what’s possible across our ecosystem.
From a more responsive Windows and a new Search experience, to advances in gaming and more choice across devices and silicon, it’s exciting to see the team's investments come together 🚀!
Here's a look at what’s new this holiday: blogs.windows.com/windowsexp…

Earlier this week, we shared File Explorer improvements with Windows Insiders, including the updated right-click menu.
We’ve been hearing some questions about the new right-click menu: what changed, where certain actions moved, and how to customize it for the way you work.
@xanderfiss, from our product team put together a great walkthrough of the experience.
Worth a watch: youtube.com/shorts/rS_eiNoCx…

File Explorer is where a lot of everyday Windows work happens.
Opening folders. Renaming files. Moving between local and cloud content. Right-clicking to take the next step. When those moments feel slow, interrupted, or cluttered, you notice.
In today’s Windows Insider release: faster launch, fewer hangs and delays, better everyday details, and a right-click menu that’s simpler, faster, and more customizable.

It's been really fun to work on the Windows quality projects so far this year. Thanks for the feedback as we've been working on it. Lots more goodness to come!
Two accessibility feature improvements we're rolling out: Voice isolation for Voice Access (filters background noise) and Narrator support for HID braille displays. HID displays now work over USB during PC setup so deaf-blind users can set up their PCs independently.
It was so inspiring to meet and learn from Nancy, Ari and Ben about how they have used technology to improve their lives.
An important part of our process is spending time with a wide range of makers building things that are deeply personal and unique to their needs.
Two weeks ago, our studio spent time with Nancy, Ari, and Ben from NARBE House, and their story continues to stay top of mind.
As they looked for ways to help Ben do more independently, Ari and Nancy began creating tools that let him play games, browse the internet, watch his favorite shows, communicate, and stay connected.
What began as something deeply personal has grown into open-source tools for one- and two-button users. And they did it without a traditional developer background, using tools like Copilot and GitHub Copilot.
Makers come in many forms. This was such a meaningful reminder that technology is at its best when it expands what people can access, create, and experience. I’m incredibly grateful to help build tools at Microsoft that support more people in doing just that.
Thank you, NARBE House.

June was a big month for Surface and the team.
We released the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, and at //Build announced Surface Laptop Ultra and Surface RTX Spark Dev Box.
Together, they show how Surface continues to build devices around how people work, create, and move.
What I keep coming back to is the care and craft behind them: the research that helps us understand those workflows, the design choices you feel across hardware and software, and the engineering work that makes the whole product feel considered.
Proud of the team and the attention they put into every detail.
The team made a short film to show a little of the work behind all of it:
