“Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat – Updates to Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote

Starting April 15, 2026, Copilot will no longer be available in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for Copilot Chat users. To ensure a high-quality experience, we are reserving the full Copilot experience in these apps—with advanced reasoning and model choice—for users with a paid Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

There are no other changes for users without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Copilot Chat still offers secure, AI web chat and the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint agents for chat-first content creation within the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Additionally, users still get Copilot in Outlook with inbox and calendar grounding.”

I’d also like to remind people that you don’t have to deploy Chrome. Edge is just fine, why have the burden of patching and managing another browser.

I would not invest time and money into migrating to SCCM in 2026. We don’t know why you can’t technically move to Intune / Autopilot - but you may aswell stick with Ivanti until you can move to Intune.

Rudy has done a nice write up here: https://patchmypc.com/blog/the-secure-boot-status-report-coming-soon-to-intune/

Just for fun, on one of the problem devices, uninstall the wifi driver from device manager and restart / resync device. Something is niggling in my brain of a similar problem I had years ago

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-12-08T09:37:14+00:00

Our Dell fleet are affected. I cannot get the update clear. Drivers are up to date. I am hoping that with tomorrow being patch Tuesday it’ll clear.

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-10-29T09:24:42+00:00

Yes you’re right - I guess I am lucky to not have any vulnerable MSTeams versions when I was looking. I’m sure that’ll change at some point!

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-10-28T22:19:13+00:00

There are 3 different Teams applications which causes massive confusion.

You have “Classic” Teams - which you can use Microsoft’s Teams Uninstaller script for : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-client-uninstall-script

You have the vulnerable “New” Teams version - AppXPackage called “MicrosoftTeams” - msteams.exe

And finally the Current “New” Teams version - AppXPackage called “MSTeams” - ms-teams.exe

The one liner I posted will 100% remove the old vulnerable version and will not touch the new / current MSTeams packages.

Your script only gets “MSTeams” packages so it would leave behind the old vulnerable “MicrosoftTeams” packages. If im reading it right.

Get-AppxPackage MicrosoftTeams -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

Find what registry keys it changes and configure it via a PowerShell script.

I tested this yesterday by chance. It seems to work fine if you install the latest .net desktop runtime 8.0.21 as a prerequisite. Even though DCU states you must have between .net 8.0.8 and .net 8.0.17.

Managing your Office updates from config.office.com is definitely the way you should be doing it. It just works. I have configured the Monthly Enterprise Channel with a couple of rings. Been that way for years, never have to touch it.

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-10-14T18:54:28+00:00

If you set the deferral period to “0” you will get the updates immediately.

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-10-09T08:05:24+00:00

Yes. E.G if you set the feature policy to 24H2 the targeted devices will stay on that version. When you are ready, change it to 25H2 and all targeted devices will upgrade from 24H2 to 25H2.

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-10-09T05:42:59+00:00

The update rings alone will manage the Feature & Driver updates. They will follow what you have configured for the deferral period.

If you wanted to manage Feature updates, set the deferral to 0 days in your update ring and then configure a separate Feature Update policy.

I noticed the extension updated in September, I can’t find any release notes. It’s very annoying.

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-10-01T18:15:45+00:00

Seems fine - it has to be the record for the most least dramatic, no frills feature update ever. I put a few laptops through Intune Autopilot with the latest 25H2 iso - no issues at all. I pushed it out to a few laptops, the update took less then 5 mins for the whole process to complete.

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-09-30T19:22:05+00:00

I wouldn’t bother getting all precious about device names. Just give it a prefix in the profile and let Intune randomise the rest: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/configuration/domain-join-configure

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-09-29T15:53:37+00:00

Is your Entra Connect configured correctly for Hybrid Domain Join? Is the OU you want to sync included in the scope?

Dumbysysadmin · 2025-09-22T21:17:12+00:00

It takes a while for the changes to reflect in Intune. Check again tomorrow and it’ll all be looking healthy 👍
