Microsoft is Adding an 'Experimental Agentic Features' Toggle To Windows 11

Microsoft has rolled out a new preview build for Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev and Beta Channel this week that introduces a new toggle called 'experimental agentic features' that can be enabled or disabled in the Windows Settings app. From a report: According to Microsoft, this new toggle is designed to 'allow agents to use new Windows agentic features.' The company says the feature will work with AI-powered apps, which 'help you automate everyday tasks -- like organizing files, scheduling meetings, or sending emails -- so you can spend less time on busy work and more time on what matters most. One powerful way apps are implementing AI today is by interacting with your apps and your files, using vision and advanced reasoning to click, type and scroll like a human would.'

The setting in the Windows Setting says 'When this setting is on, agents can use Windows agentic features.' Features such as the recently announced Copilot Actions for Windows feature are going to take advantage of this new experimental agentic feature capability.
