As announced by Microsoft, the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build, 23615, has been introduced to the Windows 11 Dev Channel. This Insider Preview comes with some improvements and fixes, as well as testing autostart functionality for Copilot, the AI assistant in Windows 11.
Since Microsoft is going as far as adding an entire Copilot key to Windows 11 PC keyboards— the first new key since 1994— adding autostart functionality to Copilot makes sense, though fortunately you can also disable the feature if you don't have the key or just don't care for it.
Of note is that Copilot is only intended to start automatically on 27-inch-plus monitors with a resolution of at least 1080p. So if you're using a display smaller than that (and yes, Windows can tell via your monitor's EDID data), Copilot shouldn't have autostart enabled whenever you apply this Insider update.
On the polish front, Windows Share now has buttons for sharing URLs directly to WhatsApp, Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Truthfully, Windows Share probably should have already had these buttons. It'd be surprising if this didn't make it to a future mainline update unscathed, since it's fairly harmless.
If you want to try out this build as soon as possible, Microsoft is providing direct downloads to the ISO files for this Windows Insider build, 23615. As always, it's only recommended to try out Windows Insiders builds if you don't mind being a beta tester and are generally eager to try out new features. If you want to maximize general system stability, it's best to stick with the current stable release instead.
