Updated June 2, 2026: We have updated the content and timeline. Thank you for your patience.
Starting June 2026, we will resume the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app to eligible devices with the Microsoft 365 desktop apps. This change simplifies access to Copilot and ensures users can easily discover and engage with productivity-enhancing features
When this will happen
Rollout begins in early June 2026 and completes by end of June 2026.
How this affects your organization
- The Microsoft 365 Copilot app will be automatically installed on Windows devices that have Microsoft 365 desktop apps, unless administrators opt out.
- On devices where the app is already installed, no visible change will occur.
- The app installation is enabled by default and does not require user interaction.
- This change does not apply to customers in the European Economic Area (EEA).
What you can do to prepare
- Before deploying, inform users about the upcoming change to avoid surprises and improve adoption.
- No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
