Microsoft released the Win11 Build 23493 preview update yesterday, the biggest highlight is the introduction of the Windows Copilot function.
Foreign technology media Windows Central released the latest blog post, complaining that the first version of Windows Copilot has very simple functions, and at present it is the Edge browser of the cover.
The media measured and upgraded the Win11 Build 23493 preview update, and a new Windows Copilot icon button appeared on the taskbar.
After the user clicks the button, a sidebar interface will pop up on the right side of the screen, displaying the familiar Bing Chat chat interface, and the user can ask questions or start related commands.
However, the media measured that although Windows Copilot is supported by Bing Chat, it has not actually been deeply integrated and is still floating on the surface.
Windows Copilot actually visits the Bing Chat website and answers user content by calling the Edge browser.
The Windows Copilot sidebar is not a native Windows interface, it’s just an Edge browser masquerading as a Windows sidebar.
This means that the Edge web browser needs to be running in the background whenever Windows Copilot is turned on. Essentially it’s a browser that users can’t use offline.
Even when connected to the Internet, Windows Copilot has very limited functionality, including searching online resources and some creative tasks, but the options shown at the Build conference such as configuring Windows settings are not implemented.
