Microsoft resumes default Copilot app installs on business PCs
Reviewed by Helen Jones
Microsoft Message Center item MC1152323 was updated on 4 June 2026. Starting in June, the Microsoft 365 Copilot app will be automatically installed on eligible Windows devices that already have Microsoft 365 desktop apps, unless administrators opt out. The rollout is phased through early July and does not apply to customers in the European Economic Area.
Before this update, adoption leads could assume the standalone Copilot app would stay off many managed PCs until someone made an explicit rollout decision. That gave teams time to set task boundaries, data rules and review habits. Now the app can appear by default on eligible devices. That does not mean users know which work belongs in the app, which files Copilot can read, or how carefully outputs need checking.
Analysis
Decide whether the app should be blocked for now. If you leave it enabled, write three rules first: which tasks belong in the app, which content it may use, and what every output needs before sharing.
