Introducing the new Bing in Windows 11

Microsoft has released a significant update to Windows 11 that adds the company’s new AI-powered Bing search to the taskbar. The update brings several new features, including improvements to widgets, a better touch mode, a screen recording feature, tabs inside Notepad, and more.

The new Bing integration is a surprise addition that wasn’t tested with Windows Insiders. The update adds a new Bing icon within the search box in the taskbar, allowing users to access the new Bing chat feature quickly. While chat answers won’t be available directly within the search flyout, Windows 11 users will be able to start a Bing chat in Edge quickly.
