How to use Windows Copilot to turn on dark mode, do not disturb, manage Bluetooth devices, and more

For anyone who wants an early look at the future of AI on Windows, no more need to check out the Copilot preview. Although Copilot's functionality is limited and looks like just a side-by-side Bing AI taskbar, there is no doubt that it is a push in the right direction. Even now, users can switch between light and dark themes, turn Do Not Disturb and Bluetooth on and off, and jump directly to the Bluetooth device settings page to manage connections – all from Copilot. Here are the steps to get Windows 11 Copilot and complete all related actions.

How to enable Copilot on Windows 11

To start using Copilot on Windows 11, you need to use the Windows Insider Dev build. After this, you need to download the following tool:

vivituer | Github link

After downloading, extract its contents.

Then copy its folder path.

Then run Command Prompt (with administrator rights).

Change the directory with the following command:

cd "paste folder path here"

Make sure to paste the folder path copied above. Then type the following and press Enter: vivetool /enable /id:44774629,44776738,44850061,42105254,41655236

After enabling these, Restart the system. Then right click on the taskbar in Taskbar Settings.

Open Co-Pilot (Preview).

You will now have Copilot on Windows. Click the icon or press the shortcut to open it. Win C

It will slide up on the right side.

Now that you have Copilot, you can use it for the following purposes and more.

How to switch between light and dark mode using Windows 11 Copilot

To turn on dark mode, just type turn on dark mode in Copilot's prompt box and send it out.

The co-pilot will suggest actions in the action bubble. Select "Yes".

Dark mode should be applied immediately.

Please note that dark mode is not the same as dark theme. Themes contain multiple elements such as backgrounds, patterns, accent colors, etc. Conversely, using Dark Mode simply changes the colors in Windows and apps to black. Your background and theme colors will remain intact.

To switch modes or turn on light mode, prompt Copilot to turn on light mode.

As before, click "Yes".

#This will change the color mode to light.

How to turn Do Not Disturb on and off using Windows 11 Copilot

Another setting you can turn on/off directly from Copilot is Do Not Disturb (DND). To do this, just type to turn on DND and press Enter.

When the action bubble appears, select "Yes".

# Once started, Copilot will forward the message. You can also see the Do Not Disturb icon appear in the taskbar.

Instead, turn off Do Not Disturb via the prompt and press Enter.

The co-pilot will obey.

How to turn Bluetooth on and off using Windows 11 Copilot

Turning Bluetooth on and off is another little feature of Copilot. To turn it on like before, just tell it to turn on Bluetooth.

Then click "is" in the action bubble.

Bluetooth will now be turned on.

Or prompt it Turn off Bluetooth to do this.

Then select "is" to confirm.

Manage Bluetooth Devices

Copilot can also open the settings page of Bluetooth and devices so that you can quickly connect or disconnect devices. To do this, prompt Copilot to connect /disconnect a Bluetooth device or manage Windows devices.

Any of these will direct you to the Bluetooth device page.

Unfortunately, the feature is cut short here as it is still under development. Although its response claims "You can now select which devices to add," nothing prompts it to go the last mile and actually connect or disconnect the device.

That said, at least it takes you to the Bluetooth device page where you can choose to manually connect or disconnect the device. One can only hope that things get better from here.
