Microsoft accidentally removed Copilot in the latest Windows 11 update.
- A bug in the most recent Windows 11 update removes Copilot from systems entirely.
- Microsoft is currently working on a fix but those who need the app can simply redownload and install it from the Windows Store.
- The update also introduced a bug for Roblox players on Arm hardware.
Microsoft accidentally made windows better in an update for the first time in years 😂
Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”
Removing Copilot wasn't unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.
i believe you’re on to something, with the thought that removing it wasn’t unintentional…
i am willing to bet it was deliberate, but as a way to catch more users who refuse to upgrade from Win10 BECAUSE of Copilot. once they get more users to adopt, they simply put it back in, in one of their updates
in an unrelated note, windows speed is now tripled with the latest update.
Please don't fix it; we're ok living with this bug.
Thanks, 98% of your users
*without this bug
Keep pushing accidents like that and I might actually give 11 a try.
Microsoft Accidentally Gives Customers Exactly What They've Been Asking For, Promises to Fix It Quickly
Finally, a good windows update!
Removing the copilot was a happy accident
Honestly this sounds like a veteran MS dev who wanted to ensure he had a good ISO build of windows to install without AI shit down the line after he retired. Props to whatever MS dev (or devs) made this happen
This is the best Windows Update in ages
“… and nothing of value was lost.”
"But imagine that in a decade maximum, your computer would have full conscience and be like Torment Nexus from the hit novel series "Don't Build the Torment Nexus".
This is like a vet telling me they accidentally removed a life threatening tumor in my dog while doing something else.
Like damn not sure how you did that by accident but wait what don't try to put it back what the hell?
Also did you just put ads INSIDE MY DOG? What the hell is wrong with you?
Completely unrelated segue, but your comment reminded me of this one vet appointment I had with my dog.
He was in for having his teeth cleaned, and came out with his claws trimmed. They managed to cut into his quick on five claws. I don't even know how they managed to do that, I don't do that and I don't have the advantage of him being sedated when I clip them. Then they had the absolute gall to charge me for trimming his claws.
To top it all off; I had an appointment booked with the groomer next-door a couple of days after that so their "service" was unwarranted and unwelcome.
Not your dog, you only own the license to have them as a pet and it can be withdrawn at any time.
dogs can sell anything
I hope this bug never gets fixed!
A bug, or a feature?
When the bug BECOMES_ the feature
Too late. I already jumped ship because of Copilot's "Recall", and I'm not interested in going through a round of partitioning the hard drive and installing a new OS so soon.
That's a feature Microsoft. Start removing more crap and you might have an actual OS and not just a complicated slow overpriced billboard.
Recall next, please
That would make Windows 11 only "bad", rather than "totally unusable."
"mostly unusable"
Oh that's awesome.
Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.
Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?
based
Oh no! Anyway...
Remember to pay respects to the poor Roblox players that have to suffer for the greater good now!
Its not a bug its a feature!
Bug, not a feature.
Am I the only one who actually likes copilot? I don't know, it's helped me a ton.
And also I'm a linux daily driver. I think I'm a very rare breed who loves and prefers Linux but doesn't hate windows.
Edit: Lol downvoted for my opinion. Good job, everyone.
I use Github Copilot. I like it a lot. What I don't like is if it were forced right into my butthole.
What if you just don't use copilot? I have 11 and I just simply haven't touched that button in the two years I've had it. So it seems you can like it and use it or not like it and not use it.
You're not allowed to like anything Microsoft does on here.
Clearly lol. It's like fucking reddit
Isn't copilot just chatgpt? I just use chatgpt instead.
Oh no, what are those kids going to do on the school issued Chromebooks.
