A new feature called PC Insights is being tested in Windows 11, allowing users to analyze their computer's performance and receive answers to questions about the system's status. With user permission, the feature can analyze CPU and memory usage, available storage space, and other system details. This enables users to ask direct questions about their hardware and receive responses based on the computer's current status. The feature is designed to provide users with a better understanding of their computer's performance and capabilities.
PC Insights can access a range of system information, including graphics card details, connected USB devices, network status, battery health, and BIOS version. However, it is essential to note that the feature can only read and analyze information, and it cannot automatically resolve issues or make changes to the system. Users must give permission for the feature to access their system information, and they can control how their data is used at any time.
The feature is currently in experimental development and is being rolled out gradually, which means that not all users may have access to it yet. As it is still in the testing phase, the feature may not always provide complete or accurate information. Users should be aware of these limitations when using PC Insights and should not rely solely on the feature for critical system information or troubleshooting.
Microsoft has emphasized that user privacy and data security are a priority, and the feature is designed with these considerations in mind. The company has stated that personal files and system information are not stored or used to train AI models, and users can control how their conversation activity is used to improve the experience. This includes the option to opt-out of data collection and training of AI models at any time.
