Hate Copilot? Microsoft just released a Windows update that erroneously deletes the AI assistant

Quick Summary:

The words 'known issues' in relation to updates for Windows are enough to strike fear into even the most hardened computer users.

With the release of the KB5053598 update for Windows 11 a few days ago, Microsoft has acknowledged that for some people it kills off Copilot.

While the company refers to this as the app being "unintentionally uninstalled", this is a mistake that could have many fans.
