    https://www.ghacks.net/2024/07/02/microsoft-is-evolving-copilot-in-windows-11-by-downgrading-it/

    Microsoft has just evaporated the small hope that some users may have had that Copilot could become a useful tool to manage the Windows 11 operating system.

    It looks as things are taking a turn for the worse, as the tiny bit of Windows-specific functionality is being removed.

    The latest Windows 11 insider build for the Beta channel introduces a fundamental change that changes Copilot on Windows significantly.

    ..Here are the details:

    Microsoft is removing Copilot’s integration in Windows 11 and replaces it with an app.

    This app is a web-wrapper, which has advantages and disadvantages.

    One of the main disadvantages is that it is no longer integrated deeply into Windows 11.

    One of the advantages is that the window can be moved around and resized.

    Copilot can also be uninstalled easily…

    * What a relief !

      Edge is easily uninstalled with uninstaller apps.

      What Game Bar ?

        Edge is easily uninstalled with uninstaller apps. What Game Bar ?

        We shouldn’t need an uninstaller app to get rid of Edge – it should be opt in, not opt out and need an uninstaller app to get rid of it.

        After the last updates, instead of having Xbox in my uninstallable apps, I now seem to have “Game Bar” instead. Don’t know how to add a screenshot.
