copilot gating

About this tag
The tag 'copilot gating' on WindowsForum.com refers to Microsoft's practice of restricting certain Copilot AI features to specific hardware or account conditions. In the Paint app, the new Restyle image style-transfer tool is gated to Copilot+ PCs and signed-in Microsoft accounts, meaning it only appears for users who meet those requirements.

Discussions on the forum explore how gating affects user experience, hardware requirements, and the rollout of AI capabilities in Windows.
