Microsoft Tests Agent Workspace in Windows 11, Can Access Apps and Folders to Complete Tasks
Microsoft is testing Agent Workspace, a new experimental AI agent in Windows 11 for Insiders. The feature creates a contained workspace where agents can access selected apps and folders to complete tasks in the background using their own system accounts. Users must opt in and grant permissions manually. Microsoft warns of risks such as hallucinations and cross-prompt attacks, urging cautious use.
