Changes and Improvements

Several changes and improvements have been introduced in this build. The Tips app is removed from Build 26002 and higher, as it is deprecated.

Windows Insiders can now experiment with the ability to “undock” Copilot in Windows. When undocked, Copilot can appear above or below other apps in Windows while maintaining a fixed position on the desktop.

“This allows users to access Copilot while minimizing disruption to other user activities.”

Users can also resize the Copilot window for a more comfortable experience.
