Microsoft starts removing Copilot buttons from Windows 11 apps
The Verge
Microsoft is removing Copilot buttons from several Windows 11 apps, including Notepad and Snipping Tool, to streamline the user interface.Summary
Microsoft has begun removing "unnecessary" Copilot buttons from core Windows 11 applications such as Notepad, Snipping Tool, Photos, and Widgets. In the latest Windows Insider builds, these buttons are being replaced or removed entirely; for instance, Notepad now features a "writing tools" menu instead of a dedicated Copilot button. While the branding is being phased out to declutter the user interface, the underlying AI-powered functionality remains accessible to users. This move is part of a broader company initiative to refine the Windows 11 experience by reducing intrusive AI entry points.
