Microsoft removes Copilot from Windows Server 2025

What you need to know

• Microsoft integrated its Copilot AI service into the Windows Server 2025.
• The move received backlash from concerned users shortly after, prompting Microsoft to remove it from the platform.
• It remains unclear why Microsoft added it to the platform and removed it a month later.  

Am I the only one who feels like there’s a Copilot AI assistant across most (if not all) Microsoft products and services? While its usefulness remains debatable, more than half of our polled readers indicated that they don’t use the service entirely.   

Be it as it may, it doesn’t seem that Microsoft intends to pump breaks on integrating Copilot into even more of its products and services. The company wants to integrate the service into the File Explorer’s context menu to generate quick summaries of selected files. Elsewhere, Microsoft is also testing a new way to launch the chatbot on Windows 11 — hovering their mouse cursor over the Copilot icon on the taskbar will launch the service like an AI genie.
