Microsoft’s Copilot Conundrum: When Office Apps Play Hard to Get!
Microsoft is tackling a glitch that causes Copilot issues when juggling multiple Office apps. If Excel beats Word to the WebView2 punch, Copilot might freeze. Closing Excel first is like giving Copilot a green light! Microsoft is working on a fix so Copilot can stop playing favorites.

Hot Take:
Microsoft’s Copilot bug is like trying to run a circus when everyone’s trying to be the ringmaster at once. It’s a juggling act of WebView2 instances that’s leaving users scratching their heads, while Copilot decides to take a coffee break. Meanwhile, Outlook is crashing like a toddler on a sugar high. Someone call IT, because Microsoft’s got more bugs than a summer camp cabin!
Key Points:
- Microsoft is investigating a bug affecting Copilot in Office apps when multiple apps are used simultaneously.
- The issue arises from conflicting WebView2 instances, affecting Copilot, Share, and Room Finder features.
- A temporary solution is to close one Office app to enable Copilot in another.
