Microsoft removes Cortana app from Windows Insider

Microsoft has begun turning down Cortana, a stand-alone personal assistant programme, in Windows. The update is only available right now for Windows Insider users who are using the Dev and Canary channels. A competitor to Amazon's Alexa, Cortana debuted in 2014. The company declared that Cortana would continue to be available in Outlook mobile, Teams mobile, Microsoft Teams display, and Microsoft Teams rooms.   

 

According to a report by XDADevelopers, the Cortana app on Microsoft Store received an update which shows a message saying ‘Cortana in Windows as a standalone app is deprecated’. Just below the message, one can also see a ‘Learn More’ button, clicking on which takes users to a support page, which suggests that the change only impacts Windows. 

 

Microsoft is replacing Cortana with Windows Copilot, a new Bing-powered AI assistant that makes use of Windows 11 APIs to interact with apps and can help users change various settings like device theme, search on Bing and more. The new Windows Copilot is expected to roll out with the upcoming Windows 11 23H2 update.
