Did Copilot uninstall from your computer recently? You're not alone. At least Microsoft is working on a fix. Plus, Satya Nadella has created a new Office of Strategy and Transformation to meet the rapidly evolving needs of the AI era. Discord finally has a Social SDK now, Copilot for Gaming is preparing for mobile testing, and a Call of Duty franchise sale that brings savings up to 67 percent off. Lastly, Paul's app pick is a free, open source, third-party File Explorer replacement that is beautiful and highly customizable. And it never badgers you to backup to OneDrive.
