The latest Windows update uninstalls the Copilot app (and it is not said to be bad)


The last update in March of Windows It has a curious bug that goes in a diametrically opposite to the Microsoft intention to bring Copilot on each PC, Because it uninstalls it and removes from the application bar.

The news was directly shared by the Redmond house on the page dedicated to Windows 11 Build 24h2 26100.3476 (KB5053598) released on 11 March, in the section relating to known problems. Microsoft declares that the problem concerns Some devicesbut I was able to see it on my two computers, even if it does not seem so widespread from reports on the internet.

Nevertheless, it is not particularly serious: to solve it, just go to the Microsoft Store and re-installation The Copilot app Available for a few days, but there is a positive aspect (and it is perhaps the reason for the scarcity of reports).

Microsoft automatically installed Copilot in PCs with the last updates (and even before, at least in some countries, it was integrated into the operating system), which may not have liked all users.

The fact of having to reinstall it is seen by many as a liberation and a more approach democratic to the instrument, albeit unintentional by Microsoft. Also because apparently the company intends to insert advertising in the chatbot responses in a way that defines “conversational marketing“In practice, instead of showing the announcements, Microsoft believes that he should move on to a strategy in which the interaction between customer and product is simulated, which should lead to making more aware decisions about what to buy.

Which could mean that Copilot will try to sell us products rather than giving us some Useful tipsor at least move the scale needle towards the first function compared to the second, in the event of conflict.

What is certain, however, is that Windows 11 It will pass through the company’s assistant, not only because it is now integrated in all its services, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, but also because it will be the connection bridge with our phones.

The bug does not only involve the latest building of Windows 11 24h2, but also the security update of March 2025 for Windows 11 23h2 KB5053602 And even Windows 10 with the KB5053606 update.

If you are wondering, this is not the only bug of the last Windows 11 Build Build. Microsoft reports as well as known the impossibility of downloading and playing a Roblox and the impossibility of installing the update if components are installed on the computer Citrix.

However, the impossibility of downloading the security patches And even the feared “blue death screen“.
