đ If youâve ever fumbled around Windows 11 trying to find a setting buried in a maze of menus, good news: Microsoftâs fixing that.
In a new update (rolling out first to Insider builds on Copilot+ PCs), the Windows Search bar is getting smarter. And more human.
Now, instead of trying to remember the exact name of a menu, you can just type what you mean.
Things like:
đŹ âChange my themeâ
đŹ âAdjust screen brightnessâ
đŹ âAbout my PCâ
Even if itâs not perfectly phrased, Windows will understand what youâre after and take you straight to the right place in Settings.
Like magic đŞ
This works offline too, thanks to the powerful on-device AI hardware built into Copilot+ PCs (specifically, the new NPU chips that handle 40+ TOPS â trillions of operations per second - for the techy among us).
Itâs all part of Microsoftâs mission to make Windows feel less like a user manual and more like a helpful assistant that just gets you. No hunting, no guessing. Simply type what youâre thinking and go.
đ§ This kind of natural language support makes a huge difference. Especially for busy business owners and teams who donât have time to click through endless menus to change a default setting.
Right now, the new search update is live in Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds for Copilot+ PCs. But a wider rollout is expected soon.
Itâs another little reason to keep an eye on Copilot+.
Whatâs one setting you always forget how to find in Windows? (Be honest, we all have one).
