    Microsoft Copilot

    Applies to: All Users.

    Symptoms

    We’re aware of an issue with the Microsoft Copilot app affecting some devices. The app is unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned from the taskbar.

    Note: This issue has not been observed with the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.

    Workaround

    Microsoft is working on a resolution to address this issue.

    In the meantime, affected users can reinstall the app from the Microsoft Store and manually pin it to the taskbar.

    Snarky remark… naaaah we’re good.  We can leave it uninstalled

      I hoped it was a new feature.

      Hi Susan:

      According to the 15-Mar-2025 Neowin article Microsoft: Windows 11 & 10 KB5053598 / KB5053602 / KB5053606 uninstall Copilot automatically this issue affects Win 10 as well.

      Oddly, I have not installed the March 2025 Patch Tuesday updates on my Win 10 machine (i.e., KB5053606 / OS Build 19045.5608 is not installed yet), but there is no sign of the Copilot app in my Start menu today, and when I search for “copilot” at Settings | Apps | Apps and Features all I find is Microsoft 365 Copilot. I’m almost certain the Copilot shortcut was in my Start menu a few days ago.

      My post # 2747042 includes an image of the Copilot shortcut in my Win 10 Start menu as it appeared on 10-Feb-2025, and here’s what my Start menu looks like today.
