Apps Open Click to Do in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you different ways to open Click to Do on a Windows 11 Copilot+ PC.

Click to Do (preview) helps you get things done faster by identifying text and images on your screen that you can take actions with. Click to Do analyzes what's on screen and then you can choose the text or image you want to take action on.

The analysis of this screenshot is always performed locally on your device. Analysis only begins after you actively engage with Click to Do and ends when you exit Click to Do. Click to Do only identifies text and images, not the content of those text or images. It does not analyze any content in, for example, minimized applications that are not on your screen.

Content is only shared if you choose to complete an action like Search the web. You’ll notice that when Click to Do is active, your cursor is blue and white. The cursor also changes shape depending on the type of info beneath it. What you can do with the info changes based on what kind of content Click to Do detects.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.3915 (24H2), Click to Do (preview) makes it easier than ever for you to take immediate action on whatever catches your eye on-screen on your Copilot+ PC, saving you time by helping complete tasks inline and quickly getting you to the app that can best complete the job. For example, select an image using Click to Do to take actions like erasing objects using the Photos app or remove the background using Paint. To use Click to Do, simply use Windows key + mouse click or Windows key + Q. You can also enter through the Snipping Tool menu and print screen or searching “Click to Do” in the search box on the Windows taskbar. On Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, Click to Do includes intelligent text actions. Use Windows key + mouse click or Windows key + Q to select a text block and then drag to select the text that you want. You’ll see options to Summarize or to help you Rewrite your text, so it sounds more causal or more formal. These text actions leverage the capabilities of Phi Silica, the on-device Small Language Model (SLM) that is built right into Windows.
