Windows 11 is testing a new AI-powered feature that will allow Copilot to understand system resource usage, including current CPU and RAM usage, and help you identify the root cause of a problem. Ironically, Copilot for Windows ships with a private copy of Microsoft Edge, is a full-blown web app, and uses up to 1GB of RAM while doing nothing.
Copilot using almost 1GB of RAM on a 32GB RAM PC after I opened it<br>In our tests, Windows Latest found references to a feature called “PC Insights” in Copilot, and as the name suggests, it is all about analyzing your system for potential performance or storage issues. Right now, Copilot’s PC Insights is not available to everyone, as Microsoft told me it is slowly rolling out in the United States.
I do not see Copilot PC Insights on my end yet, but I managed to obtain some details thanks to a support document and references in the app codebase.
What is Copilot’s new “PC Insights”?
Copilot’s PC Insights is an optional feature that allows you to ask questions about your Windows PC and get answers based on the current state of the hardware.
For example, if you normally ask ChatGPT or Claude about your CPU, attach a screenshot showing an Intel Core i9, and ask about its performance or other features, it can provide a fairly balanced answer because it was trained on millions of websites it did not pay for.
While there is no denying that ChatGPT and Claude are superior for most day-to-day tasks, Copilot’s PC Insights could actually do a better job with questions about Windows without making assumptions, as it relies on the device’s current state.
By default, Copilot is not supposed to read your PC specifications, monitor processes hogging resources, or log connected hardware. However, after a new update, it can now tap into Windows APIs and analyze pretty much everything.
In our tests, Windows Latest found that Copilot’s optional PC Insights feature can read and interpret the following information:
System resources, including CPU, RAM, and GPU usage. It can also calculate available storage space, total storage capacity, and whether there is enough room to install more apps or games.
Copilot cannot read the contents of individual files unless you give it explicit access, but it can calculate folder and file sizes, including the size of your Downloads and Documents folders.
USB and connected devices, including currently connected USB devices, external hard drives, printers, webcams, and their current state.
Network information, including the current state of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Battery health, whether antivirus protection is running, system specifications, BIOS information, and the overall device state.
Copilot can use these details and respond contextually. For example, if you ask how much free storage space you have and it responds with 87GB, you can then ask a follow-up question about whether you can install GTA V.
At that point, Copilot can search the internet and report back that GTA V requires more than 100GB, which is at least 13GB more than the space currently available. It could then recommend cleaning up files to create more room.
Microsoft argues that you can ask Copilot questions instead of digging through Task Manager, Settings, or File Explorer.
"With your permission, Copilot gathers the relevant information and explains it in plain language so you can take action faster," the company argues while explaining how its AI is better than Task Manager for...
