- 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
I think they just made a release without it (for EU or stuff) and either forgot to turn in back on for regular releases, or it didn’t because of a bug.
that makes more sense than my dumb conspiracy idea!

Finally, a good windows update!
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
in an unrelated note, windows speed is now tripled with the latest update.
Will be hard to argue that it cannot be removed, like they did with internet exploder…
I uninstalled copilot and that bitch reinstalled itself.
Reminds me of “you are being rescued. Please do not resist”
Classic Microsoft. You are really just being a guest in your own computer.
Glad to be moving to Linux this year, wiping the last of my Windows-based installations out of my house.
I really want to do this but I can’t, is creative cloud running on linux?
Not to my knowledge, no*. Though it’s been a while since I looked into it.
* Outside of running them inside a Windows VM on Linux, but that has its own issues. Especially if you use any of the CC apps that need GPU acceleration. It can definitely be done, but I’d argue most people are not going to want to go through the effort and rather just use Windows directly.
Yup, I’m sticking to my current setup. When windows 11 gets forced unto me I’ll probably switch to linux and buy a beefy mac for adobe.
“… 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”.
Removing the copilot was a happy accident
Keep pushing accidents like that and I might actually give 11 a try.
Oh no! Anyway…
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.
You’re not allowed to like anything Microsoft does on here.
Clearly lol. It’s like fucking reddit
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.
Isn’t copilot just chatgpt? I just use chatgpt instead.
Oh no, what are those kids going to do on the school issued Chromebooks.
Please don’t fix it; we’re ok living with this bug.
Thanks, 98% of your users
*without this bug
