Microsoft has confirmed that its Copilot AI assistant is experiencing degraded service, with many users receiving error messages instead of answers to their prompts. The company says it has traced the problem to a specific API endpoint and is reviewing diagnostics to find the root cause.
Microsoft confirmed it is still investigating why Copilot and Copilot Chat buttons vanish from classic Outlook for Windows after upgrading to build 20026.20182 or later. The issue affects users with Copilot Chat Basic or M365 Copilot Premium licenses, blocking access to Copilot from the ribbon, app bar, or Add Apps menu.
Microsoft has updated its Copilot iPhone app to support Apple CarPlay, requiring iOS 26.4 or later and a subscription to function. The voice-driven integration mirrors chat history from the phone app, including text-based conversations, and joins Siri AI, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Meta AI and Claude as chatbot options available in CarPlay.
Microsoft submitted 8.2 million Copilot chat logs as part of discovery in copyright suits from The New York Times, the Center for Investigative Reporting, and book authors. The company says only 59,545 logs shared at least 16 words with plaintiffs' news content, with far fewer showing substantial text overlap, and just 10 of 212 books evaluated had any matching passages.
