Windows 11 search box gets a chunky 4-pixel upgrade to match Copilot styling

Microsoft is reportedly making Windows 11's Start menu and Taskbar search box 4 pixels taller, creating a chunkier look to align with the upcoming Ask Copilot UI. The change appeared in a Windows 11 preview build changelog and was confirmed by a Microsoft engineer, though it's not yet being previewed publicly; insiders are expected to see it first before a general rollout.
