Two new updates to Microsoft 365 Copilot for Word: Smarter Creation and Researcher agent

on
What’s New in Microsoft 365 Copilot for Word Microsoft continues to evolve its Copilot capabilities in Word, bringing powerful new features that enhance productivity and streamline workflows. Two newly announced updates are rolling out this fall: First out of the gate is the integration of the Researcher Agent, allowing great content generation within Word itself. The second update is bringing more of the search and creation capabilities we have in Chat directly into Word. These updates represent a meaningful step toward closing the functionality gap between Copilot in Word and Copilot Chat. For me, this is a most welcomed improvement, making it easier for end users to get the results they want even faster, with less friction and more flexibility. Deep Research with the New Researcher Agent in Word Not too long ago, Microsoft introduced the Researcher agent in Copilot Chat, but moving and editing that content required copy/paste and jumping between applications.

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 :)
