Windows will soon prompt for memory scans after BSOD crashes

Microsoft is introducing a feature for Windows 11 that prompts users to conduct a memory scan after a blue screen of death (BSOD) to improve system reliability. When a device encounters a bugcheck, users will receive notifications upon logging in, suggesting a quick memory scan. This feature is not available for ARM64 devices or systems protected by Administrator Protection or BitLocker without Secure Boot. If users choose to run the scan, it will be scheduled for the next reboot, typically taking five minutes or less. Notifications will inform users if any memory issues are detected and resolved. The feature is currently being rolled out to Windows Insiders in the Dev and Beta channels with specific Insider Preview Builds. Additionally, Microsoft is testing new connectivity capabilities for its AI-powered Copilot digital assistant, allowing it to connect with Outlook, Gmail, and third-party services like Google Calendar and Google Drive.

Windows 11 is getting a redesigned Copilot app

Microsoft is transforming its AI-powered Copilot app for Windows 11 from a web-based framework to a fully native experience. The revamped app, currently in preview for Windows Insiders, features a modern user interface that aligns with Windows 11's design, including enhanced visuals like mica blur effects and a streamlined sidebar for managing chat sessions. Core functionalities such as text chats and Copilot Voice remain, but the redesign improves aesthetics and usability, resulting in faster startup times and smoother interactions. A new "new chat" button and updated sidebar enhance navigation, while familiar settings are retained for continuity. This transition follows the recent launch of a native Copilot app for macOS, indicating a strategy for a consistent experience across operating systems. The preview version (1.25023.106.0) is available in the Microsoft Store for feedback, with a public release anticipated but without a specified launch date.
