About this tag
GitHub Copilot discussions on WindowsForum.com center on Microsoft's AI coding assistant across enterprise IT and developer workflows. Recent threads cover model rollouts like MAI-Code-1.1-Flash and Kimi K3, including default-off policies and pauses tied to GitHub Actions outages. Setup guidance for Visual Studio Code on 64-bit Windows 11 is a recurring theme, with plan comparisons from Free to Business/Enterprise. Microsoft's internal token budgets for Copilot usage and new capabilities such as the Windows Performance Analyzer MCP preview and TestFX code-testing-agent skill highlight practical integration points. The tag reflects real-world deployment, troubleshooting, and cost-management concerns for IT pros and developers using GitHub Copilot in Windows environments.

    Plugin4Shell: GitHub Copilot Exposed via Bitbucket Plugins

    AI coding-agent plugins installed through marketplace workflows can be silently replaced with attacker-controlled code under a newly disclosed flaw dubbed Plugin4Shell, and the immediate risk is uneven: Anthropic’s Claude Code 2.1.179 and OpenAI Codex 0.146.0 contain fixes, while Google has said...

    Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich has released a macOS edition of Sysinternals ZoomIt after using GitHub Copilot-assisted coding to build it over a weekend — a striking result, but one that is more instructive for developers than the usual “AI built an app in two days” headline suggests.

    GPT-6 Astra in Microsoft: Availability and Limits

    VS Code 1.137: Automations, Voice Mode and Limits

    Visual Studio Code 1.137 puts agent-driven work much closer to the editor’s everyday workflow, but its most visible additions should be approached as early-access capabilities rather than routine tooling. Released on September 9, 2026, the update is rolling out gradually, so installing or...
