Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

At the developer conference in May, Microsoft predicted that Windows Copilot would be launched in June. Sure enough, on the last day of June, Microsoft fulfilled its promise!

At the end of May, Microsoft announced to the world at the developer conference: from June, as soon as you open Windows, your GPT assistant will pop up and be at your disposal.

Sure enough, Microsoft's speed didn't disappoint, and on the last day of the end of June, the developer preview update of Windows Copilot was launched.

In this regard, the editor also quickly started to try a wave!

Windows Copilot preemptive experience unexpectedly in just a few months, Microsoft really blew through Windows and ChatGPT family buckets.

Just yesterday, Windows11 made a big update, and the Copilot connected to GPT-4 has been "settled" in Windows.

Highlight: to use Copilot in this developer preview, you need to meet the following conditions at the same time--

Install Windows Build 23493 or later in the developer channel, and install Microsoft Edge 115.0.1901.150 or later.

After the update, the icon for Copilot will appear in the taskbar.

With one click, an interface similar to the web version of Bing Chat will appear on the right side of the screen, which can be regarded as the official launch of Copilot!

In addition, another way to start is to launch the shortcut key combination, Win+C, through the new Copilot.

After startup, the Copilot will extend from the right side of the screen, will not overlap with the desktop content, and will run smoothly with the open application window.

We can interact with Copilot whenever we need it.

Now, with the little assistant Copilot, the mode of interaction between users and Windows has completely changed!

It can be said that in the future, every user will be able to use any function of Windows without a threshold, even if you haven't used Windows before.

For example, if you want a screenshot, you had to know the password-level key combination like Shift+Win+S before.

Now with Copilot, as long as you directly enter "screenshot" in Copilot, the system will automatically start the screenshot function, and then easily click, the screenshot will be completed.

In addition, for operations such as "turn on do not Disturb mode", Copilot will ask you again if you really want to turn on the mode and will not open it until you confirm it.

Not only that, but if Copilot doesn't understand whether you want to ask a question or do something locally, it may pop up an option box asking you to confirm the action.

It can be said that Windows Copilot is far more "smart" than those intelligent assistants before.

Just ask some questions that you would normally ask Bing Chat or other intelligent assistant, and he will give you the answer like an ordinary intelligent assistant.

Enter "what's the weather like?" "it will report the weather directly to you.

Ask him to generate a "busy" picture, it will do it immediately, generate 4 candidate photos for you to choose.

In addition, Copilot can also cooperate with the browser to summarize the text content of the web page.

Just type "summarize the current tab" and it will help you generate an outline of the content of the current page.

This efficiency artifact is too 6, and the workflow of visual editor will be greatly accelerated!

However, it is a pity that the current Windows Copilot is still an early preview version, so it does not support all the features shown on Build.

If the input operation Copilot cannot be completed, it will be treated as a normal text chat.

For example, when you type "Open Explorer", you will find that Copilot does not open it for us.

At this point, it can only, like Bing Chat, generate steps for you to open the explorer, rather than actually helping you perform the operation locally.

If you have any improvements and complaints in the process of use, Microsoft also gives a channel to vent.

Just click the settings button in the upper right corner and you can give your ideas back to Microsoft for further optimization.

Of course, the current Copilot is still a beta, so whether in terms of response speed or in terms of functionality, it is still a little far from the omnipotent super AI assistant in our minds.

But! It can be believed that under the overtime training of Microsoft, which is the embodiment of the "AI volume king", it will not be long before the extreme evolution of Copilot will enable Windows to once again set off an operating system revolution and recreate the original glory of Microsoft.

Finally, it is important to note that Insider is not currently available on all developer channels. Microsoft's plan is to monitor and evaluate feedback before releasing it to everyone.

There are other surprises, of course, this Win11 update, but also brought us other surprises.

Native support for all kinds of compressed files now, Win11 can locally support opening .rar .7z and other compressed file forms!

It can be said that she came out shyly after a thousand calls for this function.

Prior to this, we have been decompressing the software for a long time. After each reinstallation of the system, decompression software such as WinRAR or 7-Zip must be installed.

Now, using the file manager, you can extract the package. The following file formats are supported-

New settings page in addition, this update includes a new settings home page, which provides us with a dynamic and personalized experience.

On this home page, we provide an overview of the device, give us quick access to key settings, and help us manage our Microsoft account.

Interactive cards represent a variety of settings related to devices and accounts, grouped by common functions.

Each card is optimized to provide us with the most relevant information and control. There are up to seven cards in the current version, and more will be added in the future.

Recommended settings: this card is adjusted according to specific usage patterns, providing timely and relevant setting options, designed to simplify setting management and save time.

Cloud storage: provides an overview of cloud storage usage and alerts when approaching capacity.

Account recovery: help users add additional recovery information to ensure that their Microsoft accounts are more secure and will not be locked even if they forget their passwords.

Personalization: provide customization options through one-click access, including updating the background theme or changing the color mode.

Microsoft 365: quickly check subscription status and benefits and perform some key actions in the settings without going to the network.

Xbox: similar to Microsoft 365 cards, you can view subscription status and manage subscriptions in the settings application.

Bluetooth device: you can quickly access and connect the user's favorite Bluetooth device.

Setting up the home page is not only a navigation page, but also continues to develop and learn as users use it.

According to our usage habits and preferences, it will learn to provide us with the most relevant and useful information.

Alignment layout, a new Snap Layout function, allows us to align multiple application windows together.

Hover over the minimize or maximize button (or WIN + Z) on the application to launch the layout box, see the various application icons, and get the best layout results.
