    Microsoft’s Copilot Pro subscription is losing a feature.

    Microsoft’s $20 monthly subscription for Copilot Pro will no longer have GPT Builder next month — the feature that lets you create a custom Copilot GPTs. Microsoft says it’s removing the ability to create GPTs starting July 10th because it’s “prioritizing core product experiences” for consumers instead.

    GPT Builder is being retired

    Slack goes ARM64 on Windows.

    Slack is getting ready for Windows on Arm, just days before Microsoft launches its Copilot Plus PCs on June 18th with Arm-powered chips from Qualcomm. A new beta version of the ARM64 version of Slack is available today, and Slack says it will appear in the Microsoft Store soon, too. It’s another important app compatibility addition for Windows on Arm.

    Slack’s download page has an ARM64 Windows version now.

    Microsoft hits the Windows 11 update pause button.

    Microsoft says it is “temporarily pausing the rollout” of its latest Windows 11 24H2 update. The software giant released this update to Release Preview testers last month, and now it’s being pulled for unspecified reasons. “We will resume the rollout in the coming weeks,” says Microsoft. We’ve reached out to the company to comment on why it has pulled Windows 11 24H2.

    Avowed might launch on November 12th.

    We got another look at Avowed during the Xbox Games Showcase yesterday, but no exact release date beyond a promise of 2024. After the showcase wrapped, Obsidian accidentally revealed Avowed is targeting a release on November 12th. The blog post was quickly edited after the release date mention was discovered, but not before I managed to take a screenshot.
