Microsoft is beginning to take away “pointless” Copilot buttons from its Home windows 11 apps. Within the newest model of the Notepad app for Home windows Insiders, Microsoft has eliminated the Copilot button in favor of a “writing instruments” menu. The Copilot button within the Snipping Device app additionally not seems when you choose an space to seize.
The change is a part of “lowering pointless Copilot entry factors, beginning with apps like Snipping Device, Images, Widgets and Notepad,” that Microsoft promised to finish as a part of its broader plan to repair Home windows 11. Whereas Copilot buttons are being eliminated, it seems just like the underlying AI options are right here to remain, although.
The Copilot button has been faraway from Notepad, however the writing instruments substitute nonetheless makes use of AI-powered options and appears just like the equivalent menu of choices that existed earlier than. I nonetheless suppose these options are largely pointless in what’s purported to be a light-weight textual content app, however eradicating the superfluous Copilot branding is an efficient first step.
