Microsoft is working to cram its new ChatGPT-powered Bing Chat service into each product it makes, and beginning this fall it is going to be a built-in characteristic of Home windows 11. It is smart, then, that Microsoft can also be working to close down its final stab at an automatic digital assistant—the standalone Cortana app in Home windows 10 and Home windows 11 goes to cease working this month, and Microsoft is pointing customers towards Bing Chat and Home windows Copilot as an alternative.
Some customers have reported that the Cortana app has already stopped working totally following an app replace. On a PC operating a completely up-to-date model of Home windows 11 22H2, my Cortana app nonetheless capabilities, but it surely advised me that “Cortana in Home windows goes away quickly.”
Microsoft has been pulling again on its assist for Cortana for years, ending assist for the iOS and Android variations in early 2021 and eradicating it from the Home windows taskbar in Home windows 11 a number of months later. Earlier than that, Microsoft had already eliminated most third-party app integrations, refocusing the assistant totally on fundamental productiveness duties and Bing searches.
