However, its become apparent thatMicrosofts focus regarding Windows 11 has shifted.
The company has increasingly prioritizedartificial intelligence (AI)with its continuous stream of Copilot integrations.

In the meantime, the company released new Copilot features, including the seemingly unnecessaryCopilot + Notepad integration.
Releasing cool AI features, no matter how advanced, before addressing lingering issues reveals concerning priorities.
Where are the features that improve the functionality of Windows 11 over Windows 10?

One ofCopilot’s best uses would be automating troubleshooting, but unfortunately, it can’t do that yet.
While amazing demonstrations of technological progress, they dont really improve the essential day-to-day functionality of the operating system.
Several users have even claimed that W11 lags behind W10 in responsiveness, particularly on older hardware.

Additions like the revamped Snipping Tool and an upgraded Snap feature for easier multitasking offer real utility.
The Windows 11 interface is also starting to provide a welcome coherence compared to past releases.
Similarly, its easier and better to work with multiple monitors on W11 than on W10.

These features represent the bang out of functional updates we want to see prioritized over fun AI features.
Admittedly, Copliot has huge potential, and should only get more capable asAI PCs become more common.
Eventually, the AI assistant should meaningfully augment Windows 11’s core functionality.
The issue is when the balance is tipped in favor of fun Copilot features over functional features.
