Microsoft is releasing a big Windows 11 update on September 26. Update 23H2 includes the new AI-powered Windows Copilot feature, a native RAR app, a new volume mixer and a lot more.

Gonna get downvoted to crap for this, but what the hell - hi, it's me, I'm that one guy who actually loves Windows a little more with every release. I'm continually surprised by the good stuff that's baked into the OS now (e.g. Much better multi-monitor support) and how the real power users can do a whole load more besides with Powertoys (key remapping!) - It's really encouraging to see that I need fewer and fewer specialist programs to get Windows to work just how I want.

I'm not wildly sold on AI being baked into the OS, but what the heck - Microsoft have earned their goodwill from me in recent years. I'll play around with it with interest.

I'll be very surprised if AI is actually "baked into" the OS. A client to their cloud AI will be baked in, but that's not the same thing IMO.

(btw powertoys is great, multimonitor support is great too, if they finally fix the task bar I might finally go to Win11)

That would instantly kill the feature for me. Hope its easy to remove but I know how shitty MS is about getting that data.
