Pull request overview
Updates the OpenVINO backend build documentation for Windows to recommend using the 64-bit Visual Studio developer environment, improving the likelihood that CMake finds 64-bit dependencies (e.g., TBB via OpenVINO setupvars) during configuration.
Changes:
- Replace the recommended Windows terminal from “Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022” to “x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS” in the OpenVINO build instructions.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

Tried building on Windows (VS 2026) using the documentation. It suggests to use "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022", but that specific terminal uses x86 (32 bit compiler and toolchain) and while building, cmake is unable to find a proper TBB package from setupvars path (TBB included in OpenVINO is 64 bit, so it disregards it).
Using "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS" uses the 64 bit compiler and toolchain from VS products, so cmake successfully finds TBB 64-bit package and the build process completes successfully.
So I propose to change this line in the documentation.
