About this tag
The modern app settings tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows devices, a change rolling out in Fall 2025. Threads detail how this background deployment affects IT administrators, who can use modern app settings to manage or block the installation. Topics include the exclusion of European Economic Area devices, the appearance of Copilot in the Start menu, and the shift from optional to default AI integration in Microsoft 365. The tag focuses on practical guidance for controlling this update through configuration options.
