The Windows 11 24H2 Insider Preview Build has been scoured by PhantomOcean3 ( PhantomOfEarth )—an avid explorer of Microsoft Operating Systems—post-industry tip offs regarding underlying upscaling graphics technologies. Their weekend social media announcement stated: "Version 24H2 will have an AI 'Super Resolution' feature, as previous reports mentioned. Here are some settings for it in Graphics settings (see below)—a default toggle and per-app options. (26052)." Experienced/power users (including PhantomOcean3) have managed to unhide Microsoft's preliminary AI-powered Super Resolution feature, thanks to a menu "breadcrumb trail" leading the way through "Settings - System - Display - Graphics." Users can switch between an automatic super resolution mode, or a selective system (per application basis) for games and desktop programs.

The OS level upscaler is believed to function on NPU/AI-cores—covering customers running current AMD "Phoenix/Hawk Point" and Intel Meteor Lake processors, as well as GPU users with access to Tensor cores. The public release of Windows 11 24H2 is reportedly lined up for an Autumn 2024 launch—next generation Team Blue Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake CPUs could arrive within the vicinity of this timeframe, thus creating a larger pool of NPU-fortified devices. The "insider" iteration of Automatic Super Resolution does not work out-of-the-box—Albacore ( @thebookisclosed ) disclosed the necessary steps to get it up and running: "Would you like to toy around with Automatic Super Resolution in build 26052 and see if you notice any differences? You can get it to show up by running this command and rebooting: vivetool /enable /id:39695921 /variant:3."
