Microsoft is reducing Copilot in Windows 11 because users complained there was too much AI and the features felt pushy and annoying.
In the latest test versions, the company removed the Ask Copilot button from the Snipping Tool and Photos app.
Notepad no longer shows the Copilot name and now calls its AI tools Writing Tools, with other apps getting similar changes.
Xbox leader Asha Sharma said Microsoft will remove Copilot features that do not give real value, including stopping development for phones and game consoles.
Copilot head Jacob Andreou added that it is important to take it out of places where it does not work well.
Microsoft now wants to make Windows more reliable first and will use AI only where it truly helps, especially for business users.
