- Windows 11 obtains more co -pilot features
- An option “Ask Copilot” arrives for the right click menu on the desktop
- Copilot is also deployed in the Microsoft Store to provide purchasing advice (in testing)
If you expect to see more AI in Windows 11, well, you would be on money there, because it seems that Copilot slips into another place in Microsoft’s desktop operating system.
Neowin has noticed that the latest version of the Copilot application (1,25044.93.0) has planted a new choice to invoke Copilot when you work with certain files on your Windows 11 desk.
So, if you right -click a compatible file, it will offer a “ask Copilot” option in the context menu (which contains common actions that you would like to continue with a given file).
If you select this choice of co-pilot, he will launch the application for the AI assistant with relevant options available (for example, if it is a document, you will get the possibility of summarizing it there and then).
You may have seen that Microsoft recently revealed that it was ready to introduce AI actions to File Explorer (the application that displays the content of your PC files). Thus, this decision seems to occur now.
Elsewhere, Microsoft also plans to bring Copilot to the Microsoft Store to advise these navigations through its different goods.
The movement – which is still in testing, according to Windows, is to add a co -pilot button to the store’s product pages.
By clicking on this button, a small dialog box allowing you to “ask Copilot on this product” with suggested questions that you may want to use, and a “compare” button that allows you to see how the application (or game) is accompanied by rival software.
However, the capture is that this integration into the Microsoft Store is hardly transparent, as everything does the store is simply to throw your request to the Copilot application.
Analysis: Intelligent or congestion?
With this last change, the idea is to help stimulate sales in the Microsoft Store with Copilot, although integration is so basic will not help.
It does not seem very advanced to request a comparison of two applications, then to be simply presented with a request for the differences between them in the Copilot application. Yes, it is always a convenience, but it seems more clumsy than the way it works now – but maybe Microsoft thinks of improving it all over the line. Remember that this is still in testing at the moment.
In addition, not many people who walk on the virtual aisles of the Microsoft Store anyway, and the biggest movement here is the wider deployment of co -pilot as a right click and context in the context in Windows 11.
With this concept – which was not unexpected, since Microsoft previously announced that it was the course he follows – the problem is that it will be something of love or hatred.
People who use Copilot will appreciate the convenience of additional means to easily access AI directly from files on the desktop. However, those who do not care about Copilot will not want an additional range of space in their right click menu, and will consider this as an additional size.
That said, these enemies have choices. Neowin stresses that you can make an edition of registry to delete this new feature of the menu clicks right, but I would really not recommend it. Unless you are notified and you want to keep the COPILOT application, but not this additional option. (And even then, I must warn that playing with the register could cause problems with your system if it is not immediately, then potentially at the bottom).
On the contrary, if you are fed up with the different co -pilot spins too far in the interface of Windows 11, completely uninstall the Copilot application. This will remove the AI of your menus (and the taskbar, and everywhere else). Just find the application in the Start menu, right -click and choose the uninstallation option to ban the co -pilot. Of course, you will not be able to use the application at all, so it is not a good road to travel for those who might want to shoot the essentials.
Everything is not bad in AI in Windows 11 by all means, and I must note that there is an incoming intelligent capacity, namely additional powers to be able to find and modify the parameters in the operating system (something that has been promised from the start by Microsoft, but never delivered so far). I say delivered now, but it has not yet been tested, and it is only for Copilot + PCS unfortunately (as is the case for another really useful AI adjustment, better Windows research).
So, this is another rather unhappy theme for some people, as well as the AI spreading more Windows 11 – all the best features are reserved for Copilot +PCs. Indeed, certain features require the NPU they have on board to treat the AI workloads on the real device, rather than via the cloud.
