In a noteworthy development for Windows 11 Insiders, the latest update (Build 26120.3073) introduces an array of enhancements and fixes, prominently featuring a new Copilot button in Microsoft Paint.
Innovative Features at Your Fingertips
The introduction of the Copilot button allows users to access a drop-down menu showcasing various generative AI capabilities. Among these are:
- Cocreator and Image Creator: Generate art based on user-drawn elements or text prompts.
- Generative Erase: Effortlessly remove unwanted elements from images using AI.
- Remove Background: Simplify the process of isolating subjects from their backgrounds.
While these generative AI features have been available in Microsoft Paint for some time, the addition of the Copilot button streamlines access, enhancing productivity for frequent users.
Additional Enhancements and Fixes
This update also brings several other improvements, including the ability to locate cloud-saved photos through the new Windows Search, available exclusively for Copilot+ PCs. Furthermore, it addresses various bugs affecting the Taskbar, System Tray, File Explorer, and more.
It is important to note that this update is currently a preview, accessible only to Windows Insiders. The timeline for the rollout of the Paint Copilot button to the broader Windows 11 user base remains uncertain.
