New Year, New Momentum: Here are three Copilot updates to get you started into 2026

on
It's a new year, so I thought I'd start the year by mentioning three features already released, or soon going to be released. One of the features improves the workflow of sharing files with comments, the other improves the application specific Copilot, and the last feature makes it easer to find the nest available timeslot for a 1:1 meeting. As with all of my other posts, timelines can shift, and the timelines in this post is as written in the Message Center at the time of posting. AI-Summary experience when sharing files. With this new feature, copilot intent to help users share files with clearer context in just a few steps. Users will get the capability to generate a concise summary of a file and include it when sharing from the File Explorer share dialog or the OneDrive activity center. This will make it easier to share the context of a file and giving the receiver a faster understanding of what a document or file contains before they open it. General Availability announced...

More virtaul stuff

But this time it's more of a maintanance thing.
Do have a problem with ever growing virtual disks, even if you delete files from within the VM?
Here's a tip for you (what I'v just done to save som space):
  1. Run cleanmgr.exe from command prompt, and clean out all you want (I reccomend NOT to compress, as this often really slows down your computer). And be sure to remove all system restores (If you haven't been smart to disable it all to gether. SR is a disk hogger)
  2. Download the SDelete tool from sysinternals (Found on: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx)
  3. Run SDelete -c -s -z within the machine (This will relly clean up your "empty" space)
  4. Shut down the VM, and run the VHD Wizard and select "compress"
This is of course not a one time job, and should be done on a regular basis if you're running out of disk space. But it'll be a while untill I have to do it again. I just cleaned up two machines, and saved 15 GIG of space on my laptop :)
