Microsoft’s latest Windows update comes with an unexpected surprise: accidentally uninstalling the Copilot app from some devices. As users scramble to reinstall, Microsoft scrambles for a fix. Here’s what happened and how to restore Copilot on Windows 11.

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.

A recent Windows 11 security update is causing unexpected issues for enterprise customers, including the unintentional removal of Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant from affected systems, creating potential workflow disruptions for organizations that have integrated the AI tool into their operations.
