Perhaps just make sure the stuff that is already there works properly?

The Windows team has been testing various"experiences" on its unpaid army of Windows testers, including making Copilot for Windows behave like a regular application or animating the taskbar icon to indicate that Copilot is ready to help with copying text and images.

Yet something has forced Microsoft's hand to put Copilot on ice."We have decided to pause the rollouts of these experiences to further refine them based on user feedback." Does that mean Microsoft is stepping back from its Copilot obsession? It seems not."Copilot in Windows will continue to work as expected while we continue to evolve new ideas with Windows Insiders."

Microsoft did not specify what feedback it had received to trigger the pause. A look at an earlier Beta Channel build –on April 26 – indicated that users were not enjoying those new experiences. As well as Copilot launching unexpectedly – definitely nothing to do with the auto-launch experience tried out earlier in the year, according to Microsoft – there were issues with voice access and Windows Ink.

However, sometimes, we just wish Microsoft would ditch the frills and work on making sure the functionality that has already been released in Windows 11 actually works properly. ®Sponsored FeatureMicrosoft claims it didn't mean to inject Copilot into Windows Server 2022 this weekMicrosoft's FOMO after seeing Google AI drove investment in OpenAI
