Microsoft removes “Copilot provider” app mistakenly added to Windows 11 by Edge

Microsoft accidentally added a Copilot entry to all editions of Windows, including Windows Server and consumer clients, with the release of Microsoft Edge 123.0.2420.65. Microsoft acknowledged the mistake and removed the Copilot entry from Windows Server with Edge 124.0.2478.67 in April, and from all versions and editions of Windows with Edge 126.0.2592.56 in June. The Copilot entry did not run any code in the background and did not extract data from users' PCs.
