  1. Strange, I got the update and everything entailing the update but not Copilot?
    I am very sad now. Might be due to my location, ZA might not be getting Copilot at this time just yet.

  2. 10:05 I hope I'm alive when those inexplicable loading bars and icons disappear when opening folders with images, videos, or a few hundred files. I hope I don't have to live more than 100 years for that.

  3. That green progress animation in the file explorer address bar at 10:10 drives me crazy in File Explorer. What is it doing? Whenever I open a new Explorer window or tab, it has to like scan the folder? What is that thing, and what is it doing?

  4. This is hilarious. Crappy edge market share is decreasing to 10.75%, and will continue to decrease in the next month. This is why everyone despise edge because is to bloated and crappy. Again, edge is nothing but a dying web browser that will disappear in the next decade. Crappy edge won’t stand a chance against google chrome superiority. Bye Bye crappy edge.

  5. This is hilarious. Crappy edge market share just decrease to 10.72%. Meanwhile, Bing market share just decrease to 6.81%. This is shows both crappy edge and Bing will continue to decrease in the next. This is shows the failure of crappy edge. Crappy edge is nothing but a dying web browser that will disappear in the next decade. Google chrome market share is skyrocket to 63.14%. Google chrome will always be popular in many decades to come. Did you guys think that crappy edge will become popular? Huh, not in a thousand years. Crappy edge will never overtake google chrome and never will. Not Now, Not Never!!

  6. Man I want more than anything for dark mode to get a serious UI pass. It's so poor. You frequently come across system windows that are white background, black text (the file properties window as an example). I'm running this build. I turned of the bing co-pilot thing ASAP. Just no interest personally. Very glad to have the quick access to volume mixer again. The main page in the settings app looks nice. It's nice having native support for far more compression formats including RAR and .7z That's about it so far.

  7. This is hilarious. Both Bing and crappy edge market share is still decreasing than ever. Edge market share is decreasing to 10.78%. Bing is decreasing even more to 6.81%. This is shows that both Bing and crappy edge is nothing but a dying web browser. Everyone should stick with google chrome.

  8. if you ignore the AI stuff, lots of stuff, i love the .rar and 7zip support, im sure people Windows Subsystem for Linux will also find .tar a handy one to have too! the sound options are also a great addon, now i can hear my friends talk while gaming!

  9. So what i think would be cool is if windows could listen to me or see what im doing for example let’s just say that you’re calculating some thing and you accidentally forgot a number so now you just ask the copilot what was the number that I calculated last or something like that just so that can remind you that’s a small thing but helpful I’m not just saying just for calculator. It be cool if you could do it for some other things, or you’re just typing in and some chat and call pilot reads the message that I sent to you and copilot immediately proposes some answers or a playes Besa rrall the conversation was going I’m talking as you’re doing this live

  10. This is hilarious. Crappy edge market share just decrease to 10.67% and will continue to decrease. Meanwhile, google chrome market share skyrocket to 62.96%. Crappy edge will never overtake google chrome and never will. Crappy edge won’t stand a chance against google chrome superiority.
