- Microsoft deploys an update of the Copilot application
- It modifies the home page to look more like the Start menu
- The deployment is in progress, but it can take a while to reach all Windows 11 users
Microsoft modifies the COPILOT application in Windows 11 so that the user presents an experience more like the start menu, rather than the current cat home page.
Windows The latest reports according to which a new update for the Copilot application, which is currently being travels to all Windows 11 users via the Microsoft Store, applies a substantial youthful cure to the AI assistant’s home page (as shown in tests previously).
Currently, there is a cat style interface where your typted request is central, a bit like the web version of Copilot (as indicated in the image above), but the new application transforms the home page into something more related to the start menu (see image below).
As the latest Windows points out, you always get the greeting of Copilot and the key query box (cat), but there are now four new panels adorning the screen offering various extras.
These include links to jump directly in the files you have recently used, as well as conversations with Copilot that you have had in the past, that you can rekindle if you wish.
Another panel offers the possibility of “working on co -pilot pages” which allows you to work on writing and coding projects (which require abundant modification and revisions), and a fourth panel offers guided help with applications. The latter launches a co -pilot vision session with the application in question, giving you advice and advice on the use of the application.
Windows has also discovered references that suggest that the agent propelled by Copilot Copilot arrives on the AI APE in Windows 11. The agent offers the possibility of carrying out certain tasks for you, such as the reservation of travel tickets, and the technological site considers that it could happen in the next update of the COPILOT application (add an appropriate seasoning).
Analysis: The start of a larger change?
As indicated, all this has been seen before in the tests, but is apparently now deployed in its entirety. That said, deployment is a process in progress, and not everyone will see the new home page of the Copilot application at the moment – it will take a while to filter all Windows 11 PCs.
The general idea here is to hang the tentacles of the Copilot application in more Windows 11. In other words, Microsoft goes beyond simple AI requests with the application and integrating more what you may need to do in the operating system. Thus, for example, you can click on a document reported in the recently used file panel of the Copilot application, and it will launch it in words on the desktop.
Admittedly, the home page of the new application is not all This like the start menu, but you can see it draw inspiration from this central part of the Windows 11 interface, and it raises an interesting perspective. Currently, we are considering a Style Style Design Start in the Copilot application; But in the future, will this idea be reversed? By which I mean: Are we going to look at a starting menu entirely based on the Co-Co-Pilot AI?
If we take the IA infusion in Windows 11 – which is clearly happening – at its logical conclusion, the co -pilot will be done everywhere, and the starting menu can end up looking like this new version of the Copilot application. It will focus on requests (including local research) motivated by AI and will not only offer quick access to your applications, but also to help them – and we can undoubtedly expect Copilot to feed the recommendations. (Maybe it will make the latter more useful; or maybe not, and they will continue to be a vehicle for microsoff-borders kicks on ADS).
It looks like an obvious track for Microsoft, so maybe with this Copilot application overhaul, we have just taken our first overview of the future of the start menu in Windows 12 (or whatever the new generation operating system). Or maybe this AI thing will all blow (but you don’t believe it more than me, right?).
