Microsoft is likely considering bringing Copilot AI to Windows 11 startup — at least that’s one of the most visible changes in the new Windows 11 build 23615 (in the Dev channel), which has been available to testers since yesterday.
At this stage, the auto-launch of the touted AI assistant Copilot is being tested on “widescreen devices” to gather feedback and gauge user acceptance before deciding on a wider launch.
Microsoft doesn’t specify which “widescreen devices” it is talking about, but the Windows 11 settings state that Copilot will automatically open “when using widescreens.” Most likely, this only applies to ultra-wide monitors and less traditional resolutions, but it’s worth waiting for a clearer explanation from Microsoft (if there will be any) to know for sure.
It’s clearly another way for Microsoft to promote its own AI products, which will likely draw a barrage of criticism from Windows users, and potentially another “how to turn it off” thing if Microsoft eventually decides to change. In general, this approach is very Microsoft-style – remember at least the aggressive promotion of Microsoft Edge in Windows 11, which automatically starts instead of the default browser when using Windows Widgets or the Windows Search function.
In general, this change to Copilot is completely in line with Microsoft’s AI efforts, including the recent addition of a new Copilot key on Windows keyboards (it will be pressed closer to the right Alt instead of the Menu key). The first laptops with a Copilot button have already been announced by Acer, Dell, and more are expected soon. Microsoft also intends to offer more customization options for Copilot on Windows – the other day a Twitter/X user pointed out an unannounced Chat Providers option, which hints at the possibility of opening up Copilot on Windows to third-party plugins or chatbots. In the future, it is likely that even Notepad in Windows 11 will have its ownChatGPT/Copilot II, if the experimental Cowriter feature reaches the release.
Yesterday, Microsoft briefly became the most valuable company in the world, displacing Apple for the first time since 2021 – for a long time its shares have been steadily rising on the back of successes in the field of artificial intelligence.
