> According to Microsoft, this new toggle is designed to "allow agents to use new Windows agentic features." The company says the feature will work with AI-powered apps, which "help you automate everyday tasks -- like organizing files, scheduling meetings, or sending emails -- so you can spend less time on busy work and more time on what matters most. One powerful way apps are implementing AI today is by interacting with your apps and your files, using vision and advanced reasoning to click, type and scroll like a human would."

> The setting in the Windows Setting says "When this setting is on, agents can use Windows agentic features." Features such as the recently announced Copilot Actions for Windows feature are going to take advantage of this new experimental agentic feature capability.

Good luck with that (Score:2)
That tech is not even remotely ready for use outside of a carefully isolated lab setting.
Fortunately, I will likely not even have to turn it off. The data-collection makes this illegal without informed consent in Europe. And they will not want to tell the world what they are collecting and what they are doing with it.
Will disabling it be reversed on every update? (Score:2)
How long before they remove the option to disable it?
Microsoft logic: Not enough people are using this feature we want used. Remove the ability to disable it.

I bet telling it to take its newfound power and remove itself from my computer would end up requiring reinstall
This would be an excellent time, macroshaft, to release a SECOND PRODUCT
How about an off switch? (Score:2)
A "Disable all AI crap and stop pushing this shit already" switch would be more desirable.

Clearly this is what the world was asking for in Windows 11. Never mind fixing bugs like the bottom of windows getting stuck under the task bar and having to faff around to resize them (hey, maybe allow the task bar to be moved!) , the "Oops no internet" setup error loop even when windows had connected to wifi in the previous screen and so on.
No, lets introduce Son Of Clippy!
FFS, get a grip MS.
