Microsoft Releases New Windows 10 Optional Update With AI-Powered Copilot

Microsoft is moving toward a Windows 10 release of Copilot very quickly, per Petri.com:

Microsoft rolled out a new optional update (KB5032278) for Windows 10 version 22H2 yesterday. The major highlight of this release is Windows Copilot, which has been available in preview for Insiders since last week.

On Windows 10, the Copilot button appears on the right side of the taskbar, which lets users open the chatbot to answer queries, create content, and perform other actions. However, the Windows 10 Copilot experience lacks some features that are supported on Windows 11 devices. For instance, users won’t be able to use the AI assistant to open applications or customize operating system-related preferences and settings.

To preview Copilot in Windows 10, users will need to enable the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. For now, the feature will only be available for unmanaged devices running Windows 10 Home and Pro version 22H2. Microsoft says that the AI-powered Copilot tool is currently available in select global markets to a “small audience” before it hits general availability in the next few months.

Here we come – another billion Copilot desktops.
