Since March, Microsoft has previewed and even shipped many improvements to Windows 11 that are the direct result of its Windows K2 initiative, all designed to fix Windows 11. All of these Windows Update improvements are already shipping to all Windows 11 users, which is a crazy quick turn around. It still exists as a standalone app on Windows 11, but the Copilot button no longer exists in apps like Photos and Notepad. SI'm so very impressed with how quickly Microsoft has turned Windows 11 around so far. All of my biggest issues with Windows 11 have either already been addressed, or are in the process of being addressed.
