Microsoft starts to remove AI from some of its Windows 11 apps

Microsoft is recalibrating its Copilot AI assistant, which enhances productivity across its applications. In Microsoft Word, Copilot assists with drafting, restructuring, and tone adjustment. Excel users receive help with formulas and data analysis, while PowerPoint users get support for presentations. Notepad has rebranded its Copilot features as "Writing Tools," allowing users to generate text, rewrite content, and adjust tone, but the Snipping Tool has removed all AI functionalities. Microsoft plans to introduce AI agents to the Windows taskbar for answering questions, automating tasks, and interacting with files, although this feature is still in testing.

Microsoft Releases Enterprise Policy Option to Disable Windows 11 Copilot

Microsoft has introduced a new enterprise policy setting that allows IT administrators to silently uninstall the Microsoft Copilot app from managed Windows 11 devices. The RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp policy became available after the April 2026 Patch Tuesday security updates and is compatible with enterprise management solutions like Microsoft Intune and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). Administrators can find the policy in the Group Policy Editor under User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows AI > Remove Microsoft Copilot App. It specifically targets Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, and Education SKUs, excluding Home edition users. The uninstallation process is triggered when three conditions are met: Microsoft 365 Copilot is installed on the device, it was provisioned (not user-installed), and it has not been launched by the user in the last 28 days. The policy was initially available for Windows Insiders in January 2026 and became generally accessible afterward. However, future updates or user reinstalls from the Microsoft Store may reintroduce the Copilot app, necessitating ongoing policy enforcement for permanent removal. Organizations seeking broader exclusion may need to use PowerShell scripts or additional MDM configurations.

How to Record Windows 11 Internal Audio with Audacity for Free

Windows 11 does not have a built-in option to record internal audio directly from PC speakers. The Stereo Mix feature, which allowed easy recording of audio output, has been phased out on many modern devices. Microsoft's Voice Recorder app only captures microphone audio. Audacity, a free and open-source audio editor, can be used to record internal audio by configuring it to use the Windows WASAPI audio API with a loopback function. This method captures the digital audio stream without quality loss. To record internal audio with Audacity, users need to download and install the software, set the audio host to Windows WASAPI, select the appropriate loopback device, set recording channels to stereo, and then hit record while playing the desired audio. The recorded audio can be exported in various formats such as WAV, MP3, or FLAC. If the WASAPI loopback does not work, users can try enabling Stereo Mix if available or using a virtual audio cable like VB-CABLE. Tips for cleaner recordings include setting the project rate to 44100 Hz or 48000 Hz, disabling audio enhancements, and closing distracting applications. Common issues include no audio recorded, loopback devices not showing up, distorted sound, low volume, and microphone access denial, which can usually be resolved through settings adjustments or driver updates.

Here’s How Microsoft’s New Windows Insider Channels Work

Microsoft has transformed its Windows Insider program by introducing three new channels: Experimental, Beta, and Release Preview. The Experimental channel combines the previous Dev and Canary options, allowing users to test new features with less stability. The Beta channel has been updated to ensure all users receive the same features simultaneously, eliminating gradual rollouts. The Release Preview channel offers the least risk, providing access to updates before their official release. Users now have more control over the features they trial, with the ability to enable or disable specific features through a new "Feature flags" page. Additionally, switching between channels has been simplified, allowing smoother transitions without needing a complete PC wipe, except when moving to the Experimental Future Platforms channel.
