16+
choices:
17+
- content: "Windows 11 Pro runs all AI processing locally on the device"

44+
choices:
45+
- content: "To ensure all AI features require an internet connection"

62+
- content: "To run quick, single-step tasks that must complete instantly"
63+
isCorrect: false
64+
explanation: "Incorrect. Agents are designed for tasks that take time and may involve multiple steps."
65+
- content: "To manage device hardware resources such as the CPU and NPU"
66+
isCorrect: false
67+
explanation: "Incorrect. Agents do not directly manage hardware resources."
68+
- content: "To handle long-running, multi-step tasks using cloud execution"
69+
isCorrect: true
70+
explanation: "Correct. Agents run longer workflows in the cloud while remaining visible and manageable through the taskbar."
71+
- content: "How does the Windows taskbar support cloud-based work in Windows 11 Pro?"
72+
choices:
73+
- content: "By executing cloud workloads locally on the device"
