- Windows 11 is getting more co -driver functionality
- An option ‘Ask Copilot’ is arriving for the right click menu on the desktop
- Copilot is also being implemented in the Microsoft store to provide purchase advice (in tests)
If you hope to see more in Windows 11, well, I would be hitting the money there, since it seems that the co -pilot is dragging in another pair of places in the Microsoft desktop operating system.
Neowin noticed that the latest version of the Copilot application (1,25044.93.0) has planted a new option to invoke Copilot when he works with certain files on his Windows 11 desktop.
Therefore, if you right click on a compatible file, you will offer an ‘Copilot to ask’ option in the context menu (which contains common actions that you would like to perform with any given file).
If you select that Copilot option, you will turn on the application for the AI assistant with available relevant options (for example, if it is a document, you will get the ability to summarize it there and then).
You may have seen Microsoft recently revealed that it is configured to enter AI actions to the file explorer (the application that shows the content of the folders on their PC). So, this movement seems to be happening now.
In other places, Microsoft also plans to take co -pilot to the Microsoft store to advise those who sail through their various products.
The movement, which is still in tests, according to the latest Windows, consists of adding a co -pilot button to the products pages in the store.
By clicking on that button, a small dialog box appears, allowing ‘asking the co -pilots about this product’ with the suggested questions you can use, and a ‘compare’ button that allows you to see how the application (or the game) accumulates to a rival software.
However, the problem is that this integration into the Microsoft store is not perfect, as everything does the store is simply to throw its consultation to the Copilot application.
Analysis: Intelligent or disorder?
With the last change, the idea is to help stimulate sales in Microsoft Store with Copilot, although integration is so basic it will not help there.
He does not feel very advanced to request a comparison of two applications, and then he simply presents a consultation of the differences between them in the Copilot application. Yes, it is still a convenience, but it feels more clumsy than the way it works now, but maybe Microsoft is thinking of improving it in the future. Remember, this is still in tests for now.
In addition, it is not that many people step on the virtual halls of the Microsoft store anyway, and the largest movement here is the broader implementation of Copilot as an option sensitive to the right click context in Windows 11.
With that concept, which was not unexpected, since Microsoft announced previously that this is the course that is taking, the problem is that it will be a thing of love or hate.
People who use Copilot will appreciate the convenience of additional ways to easily access AI directly from the archives on the desktop. However, those whom they do not care about Copilot will not want an additional line of space in their right click menu, and will only consider this as an additional disorder.
That said, those enemies have options. Neowin points out that you can make a registration edition to eliminate this new functionality of the right click menu, but I would not really recommend it. No, unless you are an expert in technology, and you want to maintain the Copilot application, but not this additional option. (And even then, I must warn that playing with the registration could cause problems with your system but immediately, then potentially in the future).
On the contrary, if you will get fed up the various co -senses that extend too much towards the Windows 11 interface, simply uninstall the application of Co -ylot completely. That will eliminate the AI of its context -sensitive menus (and a taskbar and anywhere else). Just look for the application on the Start menu, right click and choose the Uninstall option to banish the co -pilot. Of course, you will not be able to use the application at all, so that is not a good way to travel for those who want to occasionally turn the AI.
Not everything is bad about AI in Windows 11 in any way, and I must take into account that there is an incoming intelligent capacity, that is, additional powers to find and change the configuration in the operating system (something that was promised from the beginning by Microsoft, but never delivered so far). I say delivered now, but this has not yet entered the tests, and it is only for co -pilot+ PC sadly (as is the case of another really useful adjustment related to AI, a better search for Windows).
So, that is another quite unfortunate issue for some people, as well as the AI that extends for more Windows 11: all the best functionality is reserved for Copilot+ PC. This is because some features require the NPU on board to process workloads of AI in the real device, instead of through the cloud.
