Microsoft has recently rolled out its latest Windows 11 update, and amidst the array of improvements, there's a small tweak that could significantly enhance your productivity and that of your team.
The spotlight falls on Copilot, Microsoft's trusty AI assistant, which now finds its new home on the taskbar. Gone are the days of scavenging for its elusive button; it now resides conveniently on the far right of the taskbar within what we tech folks call the ‘system tray area.’
But if Copilot isn't your thing, you can easily remove it from the taskbar. But having an AI assistant at your beck and call can prove to be a game-changer for productivity, so we suggest giving it a shot before casting it aside.
Before you rush to check out if your Copilot button in its new home, let's dive into the specifics.
This update, christened Patch KB5034765 (quite the catchy name), has been gradually rolling out over the past few weeks. Beyond mere button relocation, it packs a punch with crucial security enhancements and bug fixes, one of which addresses an issue with Explorer.exe. This bug had been causing some PCs to seize up upon restarting with a game controller connected.
While this might not directly affect your business operations, it's a prime example of how seemingly minor glitches can disrupt workflow.
Furthermore, sluggish announcements from Narrator, the screen reading tool, have been swiftly rectified in this update.
While the changes introduced in this Windows 11 update may appear modest, it's these little tweaks that can streamline your workflow and shield your team from potential interruptions during their tasks.
