Microsoft removes Copilot from Windows Server, administrators are reportedly excited
Artificial intelligence has many benefits, and closer integration with our daily workloads has helped Microsoft’s Copilot gain popularity. While it can be a useful addition to Windows 11, many users have complained that it is not as necessary in Windows Server.
According to Bob Ponypost a screenshot on X (via Windows report), Copilot has now been removed from Windows Server 2025 as part of Build 26085.
The comments on the post largely come from other users, who are happy to hear that the addition of Copilot has finally been reconsidered. Some noted that the consumption of energy and computer resources had been unnecessary.
Copilot will disappear from Windows Server 2025
Although the screenshot indicates that Copilot has been removed, Microsoft’s blog post sharing details about Build 26085 actually makes no mention of the AI ββtool.
If the report is true, it raises the question of whether Copilot’s inclusion was a mistake at all. Ny Breaking has asked Microsoft to confirm whether Copilot will live on in the upcoming version of Windows Server 2025, but the company did not immediately respond.
The new one came about a month after Pony discovered Copilot in Windows Server. The short lifespan on the server operating system increases suspicion that it is an accidental recording.
Copilot, Microsoft’s generative AI tool that uses OpenAI’s GPT technology, was added to Windows 11 in September 2023 in hopes that more users would upgrade to take advantage of the headline technology. The use of Windows 11 is still stagnant at just over a quarter Statcounter. The company’s latest operating system accounts for 28% of all Windows installations, compared to 67% for Windows 10.
Microsoft has shared the details of Windows Server 2025 Build 26085 on its website. In addition to some adjustments, the update fixes a number of known issues.
