Microsoft surprises Windows 10 users with a final update after announcing the end of feature updates. The mandatory Windows 10 KB5040427 update introduces significant enhancements, including the transformation of the Copilot AI widget into a standalone app, providing users with more customization options. This update brings the app to Windows 10 users, even those with older systems.
With the update, users can resize and move the Copilot app across different monitors, snap it to various sizes, and access it quickly from the center of the Windows taskbar. The app maintains support for tabs related to work and web tasks, making it a useful tool for Microsoft 365 users. Despite previous discussions about Windows 10 end-of-life and Copilot+ hardware, Microsoft remains committed to making the Copilot experience accessible to all users.
Users running Windows 10 21H2 and 22H2 systems can expect to receive the update in the near future. The update won’t be available worldwide immediately, but when users receive it, they will find the Copilot app conveniently located beside the Start Menu icon along with their other applications.
