Microsoft Responds to Criticism: Windows 11 to Receive Major Improvements and AI Adjustments
Microsoft is responding to widespread criticism of Windows 11 with a major quality offensive by the end of 2026, including abandoning mandatory Microsoft account sign-ins, reducing AI integration, and introducing a movable taskbar. The company is also revising its Copilot strategy and halting automatic app installations due to user backlash. Meanwhile, Microsoft is considering legal action against OpenAI and Amazon over a cloud partnership that may violate an exclusivity agreement.
Windows 11: New Taskbar Features, Network Test, and AI Integration Coming This Summer
Microsoft plans to make the Windows 11 taskbar movable to all screen edges again in summer, reversing an earlier restriction. The OS also introduces a built-in network speed test accessible via Quick Settings, now available in preview, and integrates new AI features like 'Ask Copilot' in the taskbar and a Copilot button in File Explorer, despite recent company statements distancing from widespread AI. Additionally, some users are experiencing issues downloading ISO files for preview builds due to unexplained IP blocking.
