This update is directly following the explosion of excitement that followed Microsoft’s announcements concerning ChatGPT’s integration with ChatGPT to Bing. In the end, the most significant feature of this release is the brand new ChatGPT-enabled Bing search box on the Windows taskbar.

This is definitely a plan for making the Windows search bar the starting point for Bing however, you can carry on your search using Bing within the browser. The search bar has also been given options for customization, such as the ability to go back to the old design of the bar in case you don’t like the latest version.
It’s believed that the new possibilities for customization could be part of a larger plan to create an AI-powered Personal Assistant mode that has been tried (although it did not have huge positive results).
The introduction to Bing in the Windows 11 taskbar has already been a bit controversial but there are reports that Microsoft has decided to remove the Bing feature which would be regrettable.
