About this tag
Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant integrated across Windows 11, Microsoft 365, and other products. Discussions on WindowsForum cover PC Insights, a read-only Copilot feature that displays system metrics like CPU, memory, and security status, but does not diagnose root causes. Outages affecting Copilot alongside Outlook and Microsoft 365 have been reported, with administrators advised to check tenant service health. Microsoft has shipped over 40 Copilot updates in July 2026, including general availability of Copilot Cowork, Anthropic Claude integration, and automatic installation on commercial Windows devices. The company also introduced MAI-Image-1, its first in-house text-to-image model, for Copilot and Bing Image Creator. Licensing deals, such as with Nine Entertainment in Australia, show Copilot paying for news content to ground AI search results.
