As part of the ongoing story, microsoft has begun testing a fresh “PC Insights” capability in Copilot for Windows 11 that helps users analyze their computer’s performance and answer questions about the system’s status, reports Windows Current.
According to the latest update, with the user’s permission, Copilot can now analyze CPU and memory usage, available storage space, graphics card details, connected USB devices, network status, battery health, and BIOS version.
In a fresh development, however, PC Insights can only read and analyze information—it can’t automatically resolve issues for you. The idea is that users will be able to ask direct questions about their devices, to which Copilot can respond based on the computer’s actual current status.
The report highlights that on this support page, Microsoft says the capability is ‘experimental” and “opt-in,” that “Copilot only accesses information after you give permission,” and that “your personal files and system info aren’t stored or used to train [AI] models.”.
Industry observers note that you can control this at any time in Copilot settings.”. However, “Copilot may use conversation activity […] to improve the experience, including training AI models, depending on your settings.
According to the latest update, microsoft also warns that since PC Insights is still in experimental development, it “may not always provide complete or accurate information.”. PC Insights is currently being made available via gradual rollout, so you may not have access to it yet.
