    Woof.

    As a web developer. I can’t wait to get bug reports caused by this monstrosity.

    This could be a real pain if anyone used copilot.

      I’m pretty sure this will happen to anyone that has a copilot “compatible” pc and install the patch Tuesday updates… If they use copilot or not.

      Tbh I’m surprised they found this bug.

      Microsoft apparently doesn’t do QA testing anymore and the average Copilot user is an illiterate troglodtye who never changed the WiFi password on their modem and doesn’t know what a bug report is.

    Microslop would do this?

    They did this with outlook before so it not a new trend. Though the question is if they have added an option to open externally like in other apps. (I’m not going to install the pos to check the settings.)

    I assumed this would happen anyway. It’s more surprising to find out that it’s new.
