US Edition'I'll Believe It when I See It': Windows 11 Users Are Cynical About Microsoft's Promises to Fix the OS and Stop Pushing AI
Microsoft plans to reduce AI features like Copilot and reconsider the Recall tool after user criticism about prioritizing AI over Windows 11 performance and quality.
- Last week, Windows Central reports Microsoft is reevaluating its AI strategy on Windows 11 and pledged fixes for bugs and performance linked to AI choices.
- User complaints prompted critics to say Microsoft prioritized AI over Windows 11 quality, while Reddit users remain skeptical with a top reply saying, `I'll believe it when I see it.`
- In particular, Copilot buttons scattered through the interface and default Windows 11 apps are slated for streamlining, with Notepad and Paint integrations under review and a freeze on adding more functionality.
- Analysts say fixing fundamentals and easing AI pushes could improve Windows 11's public perception, but commentators warn trust may erode and AI agents could suffer without real follow-through.
- Recall is being reviewed by Windows Central and may be renamed or morphed, with sources saying fully ditching it remains a possibility though not favored soon.
