Microsoft is gearing up for a significant transformation of the search menu in Windows, set to roll out this fall. According to Engadget, the upcoming redesign will empower users to input concise text commands directly within the menu interface, enabling them to execute a myriad of actions throughout the operating system.
Commands for Windows settings
During the recent Surface presentation, Pavan Davuluri, Microsoft’s executive vice president for Windows and devices, showcased the innovative functionality of the revamped Start menu. He illustrated how users can swiftly toggle settings such as dark mode and Do Not Disturb mode with ease, enhancing the overall user experience.
In a bold move, Microsoft aims to evolve the operating system’s search menu into a tool reminiscent of a chatbot. This means that users will have the ability to enter commands for controlling various Windows features directly within the interface, streamlining their interactions with the system.
Access to Copilot
Furthermore, Davuluri highlighted that the updated menu will facilitate seamless communication with the new Copilot app, eliminating the need to launch the program separately. This announcement comes less than a year after Microsoft pledged to refine the integration of Copilot within Windows 11, indicating a commitment to enhancing user accessibility and functionality.
