    How Does Windows 11 Copilot Impact System Performance? (2025/637)

    Microsoft has integrated Copilot AI directly into Windows 11 Notepad, transforming what was once the simplest text editor into an AI-powered writing assistant. Whilst this feature can help you rewrite text, generate content, and adjust tone, it fundamentally changes a tool that many people valued specifically because it was fast, simple, and kept everything local on your computer. In this episode, Charly covers: ✅ What Copilot in Notepad actually does and how it differs from Windows Copilot 📌 Privacy concerns about sending document content to Microsoft's cloud for processing 🔗 Why feature creep in a simple tool can be distracting rather than helpful ✅ Legitimate use cases where AI writing assistance in Notepad makes sense 📌 How to decide whether to keep or disable Copilot based on your workflow 🛡️ Step-by-step instructions to turn off Copilot in the Notepad application For users who rely on Notepad for quick notes, password copying, confidential information, or simply distraction-free writing, having AI features that send content to the cloud represents a significant privacy shift. However, for those who use Notepad as a drafting tool and want quick access to text rewriting, summarising, or tone adjustments, the AI integration can genuinely save time. This episode helps you understand the tradeoffs so you can make an informed decision about whether Copilot in Notepad serves your needs or simply gets in your way.
