Microsoft says that tests of a controversial new Windows 11 feature that automatically opens the AI-powered Copilot assistant after Windows starts are limited to systems with 27-inch displays.
For now, the option also requires enrolling in the company's Windows Insider program since the change is currently being tested in the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23615, released last Thursday in the Dev Channel.
Given that this change is rolling out in stages, not all Insiders in the Dev Channel will immediately see Copilot launching on its own.
Since it introduced its new AI chat-powered Bing last January and added it to the Windows 11 taskbar one month later, Microsoft has slowly injected AI tech into as many Windows apps and features as possible, including Paint and the soon-out-of-support Windows 10 OS. Not even the Notepad text editor will escape this incessant AI assault since Microsoft is internally testing an AI-powered text generation tool dubbed CoWriter.
Copilot for Windows is now available for preview to Windows Insiders in North America, the United Kingdom, and select regions of Asia and South America.
Microsoft is planning to roll it out to additional markets over time.
