Microsoft is testing AI integration in Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA), a key tool used by developers and partners such as Intel and AMD to diagnose why PCs are slow. The company has built a new MCP, or Model Context Protocol, for WPA, allowing AI tools like GitHub Copilot to connect and answer natural-language questions about performance issues, such as why the CPU spiked, what is using the disk, or why scheduling is acting up. Users can also generate summaries of findings without manually digging through graphs and tables. Microsoft noted in a document that "Performance analysis is often bottlenecked by expert knowledge. Experienced WPA users can move quickly, but new or occasional users may not know where to begin," adding that even experts can spend significant time correlating activity across views. The integration is intended for Windows developers, including those at Microsoft, Intel, and other partners, not regular users, as asking AI what caused issues does not necessarily fix them. This move follows Microsoft’s leadership, including CEO Satya Nadella, admitting that Windows 11 needs serious “quality work,” with most changes so far focused on UI/UX.
