The chatbot AI app is also rolling out for build 22635.3785 (KB5039319), which the company rolled out on June 14.<\/p>\n<p>In the Release Preview Channel, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2024\/06\/20\/releasing-windows-11-build-26100-994-to-the-release-preview-channel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft made available<\/a> the build 26100.994 as the update KB5039304 for version 24H2. However, this update doesn&#8217;t include new features. Instead, it rolls out a number of fixes.<\/p>\n<p>In the same channel, versions 22H2 and 23H2, the company is pushing the new Copilot app experience as part of the build 22621.3807 and 22631.3807 releases, which the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-july-2024-update\/\">company pushed to Insider on June 13<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in the Canary Channel, Microsoft made available <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2024\/06\/19\/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26241-canary-channel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">build 26241<\/a> for Windows 11 with various fixes.<\/p>\n<h2>New Copilot app<\/h2>\n<p>As part of the Copilot experience for Windows 11, Microsoft is stripping out the chatbot AI integration from the operating system and replacing it with a new web app with a new interface similar to ChatGPT web experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_168954\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-168954\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-new-app-widnows-11.webp?resize=827%2C562&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"New Copilot app for 2024 \/ Image: Mauro Huculak\" width=\"827\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-new-app-widnows-11.webp?w=1024&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-new-app-widnows-11.webp?resize=300%2C204&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-new-app-widnows-11.webp?resize=845%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 845w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-new-app-widnows-11.webp?resize=150%2C102&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Copilot app for 2024 \/ Image: Mauro Huculak<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The new app experience means you can resize and drag the application across the desktop. You can uninstall the Copilot app from Windows 11 more easily. And you will continue to have access to the chatbot powered by the latest language model from OpenAI.<\/p>\n<p>The downside is that this new integration removes the ability to change settings with the chatbot, and the app will lose the dedicated &#8220;Copilot&#8221; shortcut, which puts in question the new &#8220;Copilot&#8221; key that the company has been touting for keyboards on new devices.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that while Microsoft is changing the integration, it doesn&#8217;t mean that Copilot will have the same fate as Cortana. As part of version 24H2, the operating system includes a new Windows Copilot Runtime that bundles more than 40 language models that run simultaneously to provide different AI experiences. Also, Microsoft is working on &#8220;Copilot suggestions,&#8221; a new feature that brings Copilot to apps like the Settings app, File Explorer, Photos, and others.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_169005\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-169005\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-suggestions-settings-app.webp?resize=827%2C544&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Settings with Copilot suggestions\" width=\"827\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-suggestions-settings-app.webp?w=1024&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-suggestions-settings-app.webp?resize=300%2C197&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-suggestions-settings-app.webp?resize=873%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 873w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/copilot-suggestions-settings-app.webp?resize=150%2C99&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Settings with Copilot suggestions \/ Image: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In other words, in future updates, for example, in the Settings app, you will find the chatbot offering help to change settings and fix problems.
