Copilot is coming back after Microsoft accidentally uninstalled it from some Windows 11 devices. In an update to its support page, Microsoft said affected devices “are being returned to their original state,” ending what some may have considered a brief respite from the AI assistant.
On Monday, Microsoft said it was aware of a bug that uninstalled Copilot and unpinned it from the taskbar following its March 11th update. While it worked on a fix, Microsoft suggested reinstalling Copilot from the Microsoft Store and manually pinning it to the taskbar.
Microsoft began rolling out Copilot as a native Windows app earlier this month, adding a sleeker UI and the ability to quickly start a voice chat with Copilot by holding down the Alt + Spacebar keys.
Microsoft is also aware of a bug where users on Arm-powered devices aren’t able to download Roblox from the Microsoft Store. It says Roblox is working on a fix, and that users can download the game directly from Roblox.com instead.
