Microsoft is currently testing a modification to Windows 11 that would enable the automatic opening of its AI-powered Copilot feature on widescreen devices upon Windows startup. This update is being evaluated in the Dev Channel preview of Windows 11, allowing testers to provide feedback before the full release.
In a blog post, Microsoft mentioned, "We are trying out opening Copilot automatically when Windows starts on widescreen devices with some Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel. This can be managed via Settings > Personalisation > Copilot."
Although Microsoft doesn't explicitly define what qualifies as a "widescreen" device, the Windows 11 setting notes that Copilot will launch "when you're using a wider screen," potentially indicating compatibility with ultrawide displays.
Microsoft clarified that this experience is being tested on devices with a minimum diagonal screen size of 27 inches and a pixel width of 1920 pixels. Additionally, it is limited to primary display screens in multi-monitor scenarios.
Simultaneously, Microsoft has introduced a new Copilot key on Windows PC keyboards. Pressing this key will initiate the Copilot in Windows experience, offering a more convenient way to integrate Copilot into daily usage.
Yusuf Mehdi, Executive Vice President and Consumer Chief Marketing Officer at Microsoft, stated in a blog post, "The Copilot key joins the Windows key as a core part of the PC keyboard, and when pressed, the new key will invoke the Copilot in Windows experience to make it seamless to engage Copilot in your day-to-day."
