Click to Do[edit | edit source]

Click to Do can now perform intelligent text actions in Spanish and French in addition to English.
A Click to Do link has been added to the Start menu's All list.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

The BypassNRO.cmd script under %SystemRoot%\System32\oobe has been removed, which prevents the oobe\bypassnro command for skipping Internet connectivity and Microsoft account requirements during the out-of-box experience from working properly. The script can still be reactivated by restoring the BypassNRO.cmd script from earlier builds, or manually executing the following command in Command Prompt:
```
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE" /v "BypassNRO" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f && shutdown /r /t 0
```
A new ⊞ Win+C keyboard shortcut has been added for launching Copilot. Holding the shortcut for 2 seconds will also invoke the "press to talk" feature and start a conversation with Copilot. These changes are gradually rolled out, but can be activated manually by enabling the 55120546 velocity staging key.
