meanwhile: Admin alert: Copilot app lands on Windows Server 2022
AI assistant turned up via an Edge update. It was an accident. This time...
Microsoft's Copilot obsession has continued with the AI assistant unexpectedly arriving on Windows Server 2022 this week, in a situation the software giant is calling an "incorrect install."
It should be removed from the server operating system as part of a future Edge update, Microsoft said

They said yesterday that the problem began with updates to Edge browser version 123.0.2420.65 (March 28, 2024 and later), which it admitted might "incorrectly install" the relevant "package (MSIX) called 'Microsoft chat provider for Copilot in Windows' on Windows devices."
An accidental installation of something that many administrators cannot remove without diving into the Group Policy editor is not a great look.
