- 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
Microsoft Accidentally Gives Customers Exactly What They’ve Been Asking For, Promises to Fix It Quickly
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
Finally, a good windows update!
“… 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”.
I hope this bug never gets fixed!
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.
I am cool with simply having a cpu without the “AI” cores
I’d prefer AI cores, just like I prefer HW based AES instructions: present and up to my discretion as to how I choose to use them, or not.
in an unrelated note, windows speed is now tripled with the latest update.
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
Keep pushing accidents like that and I might actually give 11 a try.
Oh no! Anyway…
Bug, not a feature.
