From PC World: Microsoft is taking a break from testing new Copilot AI features within Windows, which may mean that the company has settled on some ideas that it may eventually roll out to the majority of Windows users.
Microsoft announced the change in plans on Friday, as part of the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.3570 (KB5037008) to testers on its Beta Channel.
“Over the last few months, we’ve been trying out different experiences for Copilot in Windows (Preview) with Windows Insiders across the Canary, Dev, and Beta Channels,” Microsoft wrote. “Some of these experiences include the ability for Copilot in Windows to act like a normal application window and the taskbar icon animating to indicate that Copilot can help when you copy text or images. We have decided to pause the rollouts of these experiences to further refine them based on user feedback.”
Today, you can launch Copilot via the Copilot icon, which once lived down in the center of the Windows 11 taskbar. Microsoft has shifted it over to the lower right-hand corner of the screen, a minor change. It still carries with it the small “Pre” icon that denotes a preview, however. Clicking on it opens Copilot; likewise, highlighting a block of text allows you to access Copilot options, as well.
