Microsoft Launches Adaptive Energy Saver, Copilot Widgets, and Taskbar Updates in Windows 11 Ahead of Windows 10 End of Support

Microsoft is introducing several new features and improvements to Windows 11 aimed at enhancing user experience and device performance. A notable addition is an adaptive energy saver mode designed to extend battery life on laptops by optimizing power usage without requiring user intervention. This battery-saving feature has been highlighted as one of Windows 11's best for portable devices. Alongside this, Microsoft is testing an updated widgets panel called Copilot Discover, which replaces the traditional MSN feed with AI-personalized content to offer a more tailored user experience. Taskbar enhancements are also underway, including improvements for multi-monitor setups and a revamped Task Manager that will support second-monitor notifications. These updates come as Windows 10 marks its 10th anniversary, with Microsoft encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 11 ahead of Windows 10's end of support in October. Windows 11 retains the extensive feature set of Windows 10 while introducing a more modern interface and additional conveniences.
