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.

Patch Tuesday fixed a number of serious security vulnerabilities. But it also did something Microsoft didn't intend: remove Copilot from Windows.

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.
