"Microsoft's Plan to Auto-launch Copilot AI on Windows 11 Devices Sparks Controversy"

Microsoft is testing a change in Windows 11 that will automatically launch its AI-powered Copilot feature on "widescreen devices," with the company seeking feedback from Windows testers in the Dev Channel. The move is part of Microsoft's efforts to promote its AI technology, but it may face criticism from users and add to the list of features that need to be disabled. This change follows the recent introduction of a Copilot key for Windows PCs and laptops, and hints at potential customization options for Copilot with third-party plug-ins or chatbots.
