Microsoft has stopped automatically installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows devices that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps.

The Microsoft 365 Copilot app integrates the AI-powered Copilot assistant with Microsoft 365 suite apps, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as other features like AI agents and Notebooks.

The forced rollout began in early December and was scheduled to be completed in mid-December for devices outside the European Economic Area (EEA), as the company announced in September.
