FULL STORY
======================================================================

Artificial intelligence has many benefits, and closer integration with our 
daily workloads has helped Microsofts Copilot gain popularity. However while 
it may be a useful addition to Windows 11, many users have complained that 
its not all that necessary in Windows Server. 

According to Bob Pony , posting a screenshot to X (via WindowsReport ), 
Copilot has now been removed from Windows Server 2025 as part of Build 26085. 

The posts comments are largely made up of other users, pleased to hear that 
the addition of Copilot has finally been reconsidered. Some noted that its 
consumption of energy and computing resources had been unnecessary. Copilot 
vanishes from Windows Server 2025 

Despite the screenshot indicating that Copilot has been removed, Microsofts 
blog post sharing details on Build 26085 doesnt actually make any mention of 
the AI tool . 

If the report is true, it raises the question whether Copilots inclusion was 
a mistake in the first place. TechRadar Pro has asked Microsoft to confirm 
whether Copilot will continue to live on in the upcoming version of Windows 
Server 2025, but the company did not immediately respond. 

The new came around one month after Pony discovered Copilot in Windows Server 
its short lifespan on the server OS adds to the suspicion of it being an 
accidental inclusion. 

Copilot, Microsofts generative AI tool which uses GPT technology from OpenAI, 
was added to Windows 11 in September 2023 in the hope that more users would 
upgrade in order to benefit from the headlining technology. Windows 11 usage 
still stagnates at just over one-quarter, according to Statcounter . The 
companys latest OS accounts for 28% of all Windows installs, compared with 
67% for Windows 10. 

Microsoft has shared the details of Windows Server 2025 Build 26085 on its 
website . As well as a few tweaks, the update addresses a series of known 
issues. More from TechRadar Pro Fancy an upgrade to benefit from all of
