Microsoft has started testing a change to Windows 11 that will see its AI-powered Copilot feature automatically open when Windows starts on “widescreen devices.” The change is being tested as part of Microsoft’s latest Dev Channel preview of Windows 11, allowing Windows testers to provide feedback ahead of a broader rollout.
“We are trying out opening Copilot automatically when Windows starts on widescreen devices with some Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel,”
says Microsoft in a blog post. The company initially didn’t make it clear what exactly a “widescreen” device is, but it clarified the post after we first published this article:
We’re trying this experience out on devices that have minimum diagonal screen size of 27” and pixel width of 1920 pixels and limited to primary display screens in multi-monitor scenarios.
So this won’t affect everyone, and Microsoft notes that “we regularly try out different experiences with Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel that may not ever ship.”
