About this tag
The microsoft copilot tag covers recent changes and issues affecting Microsoft's Copilot assistant across Windows, Microsoft 365, and consumer apps. Discussions highlight the consolidation of consumer and Microsoft 365 Copilot into a single experience, with feature retirements like Deep Research, Podcasts, and Group Chat scheduled for August 18, 2026. Other topics include a sign-in wall for guest chat, fixes for missing Copilot buttons in classic Outlook for basic license users, and a Windows 11 option to remap the Copilot key to Right Ctrl or Context Menu. The tag is useful for tracking Copilot updates, troubleshooting, and understanding how Microsoft is evolving its AI assistant for personal and work use.
