Fix Microsoft CO-PILOT on windows 10
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to get your Microsoft Copilot (on Windows 10) working again:
✅ Quick things to check
Internet connection — Make sure you’re online and the connection is stable.
Updates — Check that Windows 10 is fully updated, and that Copilot (or the app/feature) itself is up to date.
Account & region — Ensure you’re signed in with your Microsoft account and that your region/language settings are correct. Some users reported odd behaviour when the region/language was mismatched.
Firewall/Antivirus — It’s possible your security software is blocking Copilot’s connections. Temporarily disable or whitelist it to test.
🛠 Deeper fixes to try
Go to Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find “Copilot” (or “Microsoft Copilot” / “Copilot for Windows”), click Advanced options and then Repair or Reset. Microsoft Learn+1
If you’re using Microsoft Edge and Copilot integrates there or via web, try clearing Edge’s cache or using a new Edge profile. Corrupt browser profiles/extensions have caused issues. Microsoft Learn+1
If you’re on a work or school PC: check if any group policy or network appliance is restricting TLS versions or intercepting secure traffic — this has caused Copilot to fail. Microsoft Learn+1
