Microsoft has started testing a change to Windows 11 that will see its AI-powered Copilot feature automatically open when Windows starts on “widescreen devices.” The change is being tested as part of Microsoft’s latest Dev Channel preview of Windows 11, allowing Windows testers to provide feedback ahead of a broader rollout.
“We are trying out opening Copilot automatically when Windows starts on widescreen devices with some Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel,” says Microsoft in a blog post. The company initially didn’t make it clear what exactly a “widescreen” device is, but it clarified the post after we first published this article:

We’re trying this experience out on devices that have minimum diagonal screen size of 27” and pixel width of 1920 pixels and limited to primary display screens in multi-monitor scenarios.


So this won’t affect everyone, and Microsoft notes that “we regularly try out different experiences with Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel that may not ever ship.”


Still, it’s another method for Microsoft to try and push its AI technology that will likely draw criticism from Windows users, and yet another thing you might have to disable in Windows if Microsoft proceeds with this change. It’s also not too dissimilar to the aggressive push of Microsoft Edge inside Windows 11, which is automatically launched instead of your default browser if you use Windows Widgets or the Windows Search function.
This latest Copilot change comes just days after Microsoft announced a new Copilot key for Windows PCs and laptops, which when pressed launches this same chatbot-like experience. Laptop manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo have already unveiled laptops with the new Copilot key, and more are expected to follow in the coming months.
Microsoft also looks set to add more customization options to Copilot inside Windows soon. X (formerly Twitter) user Albacore has discovered an unannounced chat providers option, suggesting that Microsoft might open Copilot up to third-party plug-ins or chatbots inside Windows.

Long story short, Windows has been a bloated crap for a while now. This is just another bloat that nobody asked for.

Microsoft is planning on standardizing a Copilot button on keyboards.

Then there is AI chatbot for XBOX:

Microsoft is working on an AI-powered chatbot designed specifically for Xbox.​


It will answer questions and even handle game refunds through Microsoft's support website.​


The company is also exploring the integration of AI-powered assistants into games, offering players assistance while they play.

They will try to replace some customer support work with this. Probably won't end well

The first thing which I do with every fresh new Windows install, is disable Cortana. And edge. Probably this would be the 3rd thing now.

I use Chris Titus's Powershell based utility. Excellent development he has done.
