Microsoft scales back Copilot AI integration on Windows 11

Microsoft scales back Copilot AI integration on Windows 11 Image: Primary
Microsoft is scaling back its Copilot AI integration on Windows 11 after user complaints about the assistant's intrusiveness and unreliability. The company will reduce the prominence of Copilot in the operating system's interface. Copilot had been deeply embedded into Windows 11, appearing in the taskbar, search, and settings. Users reported that the AI assistant frequently offered unhelpful suggestions and consumed system resources. The pullback marks a rare retreat for Microsoft, which has positioned Copilot as the centerpiece of its AI strategy across Office, Windows, and Azure.
