If you notice that Copilot has disappeared from your computer, don’t rush to report it missing — it may have been removed by Microsoft itself with the latest Windows 11 update.
Interestingly, there have been almost no complaints about the disappearance of the AI assistant, and the bug was mentioned in support document for Windows 11 KB5053598, as I first noticed Windows Latest.
«We’re aware of an issue with the Microsoft Copilot app that affects some devices. The app may be accidentally uninstalled and unhooked from the taskbar», — Microsoft says.
The bug affects Windows 11 24H2, 23H2, and 22H2 after updating to KB5053598, as well as Windows 10 22H2 and 21H2 installations when KB5053606 is installed.
The company says it’s working on a fix, but until then, it advises users to reinstall the app from the Microsoft Store and manually pin it to the taskbar. If, of course, someone has such a desire.
Microsoft Copilot — is an artificial intelligence tool that runs on GPT-4 and was developed by Microsoft in collaboration with OpenAI for Windows 10 and 11 operating systems, as well as Android, iOS, macOS Microsoft 365 service, and the Microsoft Edge web browser. Copilot recently received a native program for Windows — it was previously available as a web application.
