  "account": "Microsoft has rolled back its Copilot integration in OneDrive's File Explorer options, as the company scales back its AI features. The decision comes after a shift away from over-integrating AI in Windows 11, focusing on quality over quantity. Previously, right-clicking a OneDrive file in File Explorer displayed multiple Copilot options, including Summarize, Create FAQ, Compare Files, Ask a question, Explain image, Extract text, and more. Microsoft has now removed these quick links, simplifying the user interface. Users can still access Copilot by right-clicking a file and selecting the Ask Copilot button, but the previous one-click shortcuts are no longer available.",
