Microsoft has released the first preview build of Windows 11 with the new Windows Copilot feature, which is essentially an AI assistant for Windows. However, the initial preview is lacking in Windows integration as the Windows Copilot interface is actually the Bing Chat website delivered through Microsoft Edge. It currently has limited capabilities and can only configure basic Windows settings. The Windows Copilot is slow and not as efficient as manually performing tasks. Additionally, it lacks voice interaction and cannot analyze content outside of Edge. The fact that it is not a native Windows feature and relies on Edge is disappointing to users.

The update also includes native support for RAR and 7-Zip files, an improved volume mixer UI, a new Settings homepage, and a suggestions feature for Snap Layouts. Windows Copilot is still in development and lacks full functionality, while the archive format support may have initial performance issues. These features are currently available for testing by Windows Insiders.

Microsoft has introduced Bing's voice mode to Edge on desktop, allowing users to ask questions using their voice and receive a response in a voice of its own. The chatbot currently supports English, Japanese, French, German, and Mandarin, with additional languages on the way. This move comes as Microsoft looks to discontinue Cortana on Windows and replace it with Bing and its AI-powered Copilot, which will be built into Windows 11 and offer more capabilities.

Microsoft's new Windows Copilot, an AI built into the operating system, has the potential to be a powerful accessibility tool. The Copilot can be controlled entirely through voice or text, making it easier for those with dexterity problems or who prefer alternative modes of input to operate their computer. Additionally, the Copilot can help users discover and enable accessibility features already built into Windows, such as Magnifier, Color Filters, Narrator, Live Captions, Translation, or Sticky Keys.
