Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update has caused an unexpected issue, with the company's Copilot app being unintentionally uninstalled on some devices. The problem arose from the Patch Tuesday updates that started rolling out on March 11th, which have led to Copilot being unpinned from the taskbar and removed from affected systems.
Microsoft has acknowledged the issue in a support document for the March update to Windows 11, stating that it is working on a fix for the problem. In the meantime, users who have been affected by the issue can simply reinstall the Copilot app from the Microsoft Store and manually pin it to the taskbar.
The Copilot app, which provides users with an AI-powered assistant, has been undergoing significant updates in recent months. Microsoft is in the process of rolling out a native version of the app, nearly a year after it was initially turned into a basic web app. The new version boasts an improved user interface and is also set to receive a press-to-talk hotkey, allowing users to interact with the AI assistant in a manner similar to Cortana in Windows 10.
Despite the inconvenience caused by the unintended uninstallation, some Windows 11 users who are not interested in using Copilot may view the issue as a welcome feature. However, for those who rely on the app, the issue is likely to cause frustration. Microsoft is expected to unveil new Copilot features at a special 50th-anniversary event on April 4th, which may help to mitigate any negative impact from the current issue.
The event, which will feature Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, is rumored to include the announcement of new Copilot features, as well as the company's plans to develop its own in-house AI reasoning models to compete with OpenAI. The development of Copilot and its integration with Windows 11 are key components of Microsoft's AI strategy, and the company will be keen to resolve the current issue quickly to avoid any negative impact on user adoption.
In conclusion, while the unintended uninstallation of Copilot is an inconvenience for some users, Microsoft's swift acknowledgment of the issue and provision of a simple reinstall solution should help to minimize disruption. As the company continues to develop and refine its AI-powered assistant, it will be important to ensure that such issues do not recur in the future.
