Microsoft Sticks With 'Agentic' Windows, Vows Fixes After Developer Backlash

The Windows chief acknowledged quality complaints, offering no public roadmap.

Overview

  • Pavan Davuluri responded on Nov. 15 to criticism of his Nov. 10 post describing Windows as an agentic OS, after the original post drew heavy pushback and had replies closed.
  • He said the team is taking in feedback and highlighted reliability, performance, inconsistent dialogs and power‑user experiences as pain points.
  • The response did not outline specific changes, timelines or a technical roadmap for the agentic direction.
  • Coverage indicates Microsoft plans to keep shipping AI features in Windows 11 as part of its broader strategy.
  • Reports cite ongoing frustration with Windows’ continuous‑innovation update cadence and promotional nudges toward Microsoft services, and skepticism persisted even as a recent Copilot promo drew criticism for a flawed demo.
