The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update has arrived, and it brings a small change that could have a significant impact on you and your team. The update places Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, directly on the taskbar, eliminating the need to search for the button. It now resides in the system tray area on the far right. If Copilot isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry. You can easily remove it from the taskbar. However, having an AI assistant readily available can greatly enhance productivity, so we suggest giving it a try before dismissing it.
Not Just Moving Buttons
Before you rush to check if your Copilot button has relocated, let’s delve into the details. This update, known as Patch KB5034765, has been rolling out gradually over the past few weeks. It’s not just about rearranging buttons; it also includes important security and bug fixes. One crucial fix addresses an issue with explorer.exe, which was causing some PCs to freeze when restarting with a game controller connected. While this may not be a concern for your business, it’s always good to stay ahead of potential problems.
Another fix resolves slow announcements from Narrator, the screen reading tool. This update may seem minor, but it’s these little adjustments that can streamline your workflow and prevent interruptions for your team.
