Microsoft is removing Copilot branding from Windows 11 applications but keeping the AI functionality, which has created confusion among users who expected more substantial changes. The company had previously announced plans to address user concerns about Windows 11, including giving more control over Windows Update and reducing aggressive AI integration. However, the current changes involve only renaming Copilot features rather than removing them, leaving users feeling misled about Microsoft's commitment to improving the user experience.
