Microsoft’s
latest
Windows
Insider
blog
posts
say
that
when
it
comes
to
testing
new
Copilot
features
in
Windows
11,
“We
have
decided
to
pause
the
rollouts
of
these
experiences
to
further
refine
them
based
on
user
feedback.”
For
people
who
already
have
the
feature,
“Copilot
in
Windows
will
continue
to
work
as
expected
while
we
continue
to
evolve
new
ideas
with
Windows
Insiders.”
Microsoft
is
holding
an
AI
event
on
May
20th
which
would
be
a
good
time
to
show
more
of
what’s
next,
and
after
setting
up
2024
as
“the
year
of
the
AI
PC,”
with
a
new
Copilot
key
on
Windows
keyboards,
there’s
a
lot
to
live
up
to.
We’re
expecting
to
see
new
Surface
laptops
powered
by
Qualcomm’s
Snapdragon
X
Elite
processors
that
run
Windows
on
Arm
and
compete
with
Apple’s
M3-powered
MacBook
Air.
Meanwhile,
new
features
for
Windows
are
expected
to
include
an
AI
Explorer
app
that
resembles
the
old
Windows
10
Timeline
feature
that
remembered
what
you
were
doing
and
allowed
users
to
pick
up
tasks
across
different
devices,
and
play
up
the
idea
of
a “Copilot
for
every
person.”

Copilot
features
Microsoft
recently
tested
in
the
preview
include
one
where
the
Copilot
taskbar
icon
animated
to
show
when
the
AI
assistant
could
help. You
could
then
hover
the
mouse
icon
over
it
to
see
your
options,
like
getting
an
AI-generated
summary
of
text.

Another
allowed
Copilot
in
Windows
to
pop
out
of
the
sidebar
and
into
a
normal
application
window,
which
users
could
resize
and
move
around.
This
feature
started
rolling
out
to
the
Canary
channel
in
March.
New
builds
going
out
to
both
the
Dev
and
Beta
channels
include
a
fix
for
Copilot
unexpectedly
auto-launching
after
a
restart.
There’s
also
a
new
shortcut
in
the
right-click
menu
for
tabs
in
File
Explorer,
allowing
users
to
duplicate
the
current
tab.
But
for
those
who
keep
a
close
eye
on
Task
Manager,
the
most
important
note
of
all
is
that
Microsoft
has
updated
the
units
to
correctly
reflect
memory
speed,
going
from
the
MHz
of
yesteryear
to
a
DDR-ready
MT/s
count.
