Microsoft Co-Pilot Performance Issues

Question

Are there any updates to Microsoft Co-Pilot that can be downloaded? My performance is a bit sluggish

Answer 1

Hello Tim Boutin,

Could you clarify what feels sluggish?

• Does the Copilot app itself freeze or respond slowly?
• Are Copilot’s generated replies delayed?
• Does the same issue occur at https://copilot.microsoft.com?
• Which Copilot app version is installed?

This will help determine whether the issue is with the Windows app, connection, or Copilot service before resetting or reinstalling anything.

Answer 2

Yes. For the Microsoft Copilot app on Windows, there is a known issue where the app can be unintentionally uninstalled and unpinned from the taskbar on some devices. Microsoft states this issue has been fixed, and affected devices are being returned to their original state.

If Copilot is sluggish or not behaving correctly, the supported actions in the available guidance are:

1. Check Windows Update and install the latest updates.
   • The March 11, 2025 update is delivered automatically through Windows Update and Microsoft Update.
2. Reinstall the Microsoft Copilot app from the Microsoft Store.
   • Microsoft lists reinstalling from the Store as a workaround.
3. Pin Copilot back to the taskbar after reinstalling, if needed.

A community-supported troubleshooting path also suggests:

1. Open Start and search for Copilot.
2. Right-click Copilot and select App settings.
3. Under Reset, select Reset.
4. If the issue continues, return to App settings, select Uninstall, then reinstall Copilot from the Microsoft Store.

Note: The available update guidance in the context is for the Microsoft Copilot app on Windows, not Microsoft 365 Copilot.
