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.
