The rollout of Windows 11 build 26120.4733 (KB5062651) is a significant step in the development of version 24H2. This build offers a range of new functionalities and visual enhancements, closely resembling the features found in build 26200.5702 for version 25H2, as both versions utilize a shared core file system.

According to Microsoft’s official update notes, the key feature of this release is the “Click to Do” action, which empowers users to generate descriptive text for images using AI. Additionally, Microsoft has implemented new security measures for administrators and has redesigned the permission request modal that appears when applications seek access.

This build also brings numerous fixes and enhancements to the Taskbar, File Explorer, Live Captions, graphics functionality, and more. A notable distinction between build 26120.4733 and the 26200.5702 release is that the former does not include the removal of Windows PowerShell 2.0.

Enhanced Admin Protection for Application Elevation

With build 26120.4733, Windows 11 has rolled out a new “Administrator Protection” feature. When activated, this security enhancement ensures that users receive a prompt for authorization when an untrusted or unsigned app attempts to elevate privileges to modify system settings.

The user interface adopts a yellow color scheme for applications flagged as potentially harmful, while trusted and signed applications are displayed in a light color palette.
