Microsoft Halts Copilot Rollout in Windows 11
1Microsoft Halts Copilot Rollout in Windows 11
In a recent development, Microsoft has decided to temporarily halt the rollout of new Copilot features for Windows 11 users. This decision comes as the tech giant reportedly focuses on refining its in-house AI model, as announced alongside the release of Beta Channel Build 22635.3570 for Windows 11.
This marks the first instance of Microsoft pausing Copilot feature updates since its introduction to Windows 11 in September 2023. Previously, Microsoft had been consistently enhancing Copilot's functionality within Windows 11 through various updates. However, the company's latest changelog for Beta Build 22635.3570 reveals a shift in strategy, with Microsoft opting to suspend the rollout of new Copilot experiences to further fine-tune them based on user feedback.
While the decision reflects Microsoft's commitment to improving its products, it comes as somewhat of a surprise to users. Nevertheless, this pause in Copilot updates presents an opportunity for the company to address any existing issues and refine the user experience.
Despite its potential, Copilot has not been without controversy since its inception. Users have encountered challenges with the feature, prompting criticism and concerns about its functionality. Earlier this year, Microsoft's AI engineer addressed issues surrounding Copilot's generation of inappropriate images in a letter to the FTC and the company. Additionally, reports have surfaced regarding potential security concerns, leading to speculation about a ban on Copilot by the US Congress.
As Microsoft navigates this temporary hiatus in Copilot feature rollout, users remain eager to see how the company will address these challenges and deliver enhanced functionality in future updates. Stay tuned for further developments on this evolving story.
