Microsoft is quietly testing a new Copilot capability called “PC Insights” that lets the AI assistant analyze your Windows 11 machine’s hardware and pinpoint exactly what’s causing slowdowns. The feature is currently rolling out slowly in the United States and isn’t yet available to all users.
PC Insights is an optional Copilot feature that answers real-time questions about your PC’s current hardware state rather than giving generic troubleshooting advice.
Once enabled, Copilot taps into Windows APIs to read system resources including CPU, RAM, and GPU usage, plus available and total storage capacity.
It can calculate whether you have enough free space to install a new app or game, and it breaks down folder sizes for locations like Downloads and Documents without accessing individual file contents unless you grant explicit permission.
