Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings
Microsoft says the new AI agents can find and change settings for users when given a natural language command.
"We set out to solve one of the most common frustrations we hear — finding and changing settings on your PC — using the power of AI agents," Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences at Microsoft, said in a blog post on Tuesday. "An agent uses on-device AI to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks."

Holy shit.
Your ux SUCKS SO MUCH, that instead of making it not shitty.....
You developed AI for it?
Are you fucking kidding me
How inept are these developers
They broke alt tab.
That's how fucking inept they are
You brought back an old, old memory of reading a Dave Barry novel about computers. In it, he describes going to a Microsoft convention in which they introduced, IIRC, Windows 95; while describing the taskbar, they apparently touted "no more alt+tab!"
Dear god, those fools never worked with two spreadsheets at once in their life
In what way?
Multiple ways
- there was an update that meant alt-tab brought you a black screen
- there was another one that meant it didn't tab between the two most recent windows, but brought up a selection. They tried to tout this as a feature you had to turn off
So one is a bug, and another is a feature I actually use everyday. Did you mean the selection prevents you from quickly changing between recent windows? I don't remember it actually slowing down my switching at all.
Edit: no, wtf am i doing
The thread was about inept the coders were.
Here is your answer: They were so fucking inept they broke a fundamental function and it made it to production. Then they did it deliberately.
That's how inept they are.
End of.
Microsoft Windows be like
