We’ve seen AI used in countless ways, mostly for generating content. We even joked that it would be cool to see AI help fix Windows errors. Microsoft might have taken that idea to heart—their latest patent suggests just that, and it could be a real game-changer.
Microsoft kicks the use of AI to repair problems in Windows 11
Microsoft is taking a major step forward in AI-driven technology with a newly filed patent detailing how artificial intelligence could automatically fix issues in Windows 11. This generative AI system would analyze error data to identify and resolve reliability problems in both the operating system and applications. While this could lead to a seamless user experience, it also raises questions about how much control we’d be handing to AI.
According to the patent, this AI-powered system isn’t just for developers—it’s designed to assist everyday users by providing automatic repairs and intelligent support. Microsoft acknowledges that troubleshooting can often be “time-consuming and prone to human error.” By leveraging AI, the company aims to make problem-solving more efficient and accurate.
In addition to this, Microsoft is enhancing Copilot, its AI assistant for Windows 11 and 10. The upcoming update will transform Copilot into a multi-user chat platform, allowing multiple people to interact with AI simultaneously, with real-time updates and conversation history.
These advancements align with Microsoft’s broader strategy of integrating AI deeper into Windows 11 and its ecosystem. It’s possible that these features will be officially unveiled at Microsoft Build 2025, potentially marking a major turning point for the company in the tech landscape.
