The recent Windows 11 update unexpectedly removed Microsoft's Copilot app, which was used as an AI assistant. Microsoft acknowledged the issue and is currently trying to resolve it. Users can temporarily download the app again from the Microsoft Store. The update inadvertently makes it easier for those who wanted to unpin the AI assistant. Despite mixed reactions from users, Microsoft still sees value in Copilot and plans to enhance its features, including announcements at the forthcoming 50th-anniversary event.
If you woke up to a Windows PC suddenly without Microsoft's Copilot app installed, you didn't dream the last few years of AI hype, Microsoft just made a mistake. The latest monthly Windows 11 update that rolled out on March 11 'unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned' the AI assistant, according to a Microsoft support article.
Microsoft is aware that Copilot's gone missing and is 'working on a resolution to address this issue.' For now, if you want Copilot back, you can redownload its app from the Microsoft Store and manually pin it to your taskbar.
Microsoft has also started to offer some of its premium AI features, like the Copilot's Voice mode, for free. Based on The Verge's reporting, Microsoft is planning to announce even more new Copilot features at an event celebrating the company's 50th anniversary in April.
