Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Microsoft plans to let Windows 11 users add Copilot to the taskbar search box, with the feature off by default. It is meant to provide quick answers in search and let users move into the full Copilot app for a longer conversation.
Why it mattersThe option is expected to start rolling out in select markets later this year, according to Microsoft’s plan quoted by TechRadar. That makes this a choice, not a new default, for now. Whether users trust that distinction to last is another question.
Discuss: Should AI features in Windows stay opt-in permanently, or is it reasonable for Microsoft to change the default if few people switch them on?
