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.
The update, KB5053598 (OS build 26100.3476), released during March’s Patch Tuesday, applies to all editions of Windows 11 version 24H2 and was primarily intended as a security fix. However, Microsoft has acknowledged it contains a flaw that causes the Copilot app to be “unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned from the taskbar” on some devices.
“We’re aware of an issue with the Microsoft Copilot app affecting some devices. The app is unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned from the taskbar,” Microsoft said in an advisory.
