Microsoft Enhances Paint with Copilot Menu, Expands Windows Search for OneDrive Files

Microsoft has introduced a new Windows 11 Insider Preview build, bringing updates to the Paint app and enhancing Windows Search functionality. Available for users in the Canary and Dev channels, the latest beta update adds a Copilot menu to Microsoft Paint, integrating AI-powered features for enhanced creativity. Additionally, Windows Search now supports semantic indexing for OneDrive files, improving search accuracy and accessibility. These updates are also expected to be a part of Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs.

Copilot Integration in Microsoft Paint

In its latest blog post, Microsoft outlined the new enhancements introduced in Windows 11 Insider Preview build 26120.3073 (KB5050090). The Paint app now includes a dedicated Copilot button, allowing users to access AI-assisted features more seamlessly. While these updates are currently in testing, Microsoft has not confirmed a global rollout timeline.

Microsoft has gradually introduced AI-based capabilities to Paint, including the Cocreator feature, which generates images based on user input. Users can fine-tune the AI-generated enhancements to match their artistic vision. Another feature, Image Creator, transforms text prompts into visuals, offering multiple art styles to choose from.

Expanded Search Capabilities with OneDrive Integration

Alongside the Paint update, Microsoft has also improved Windows Search. With the new semantic indexing feature, Windows Search now better understands queries and retrieves relevant OneDrive files more efficiently. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for professionals who rely on cloud storage for document management.

These enhancements reflect Microsoft’s ongoing push to integrate AI into its core applications, offering users smarter tools for both creativity and productivity. While currently limited to Insider Preview users, these features are expected to arrive on mainstream Windows 11 devices later this year.
