Windows 10 update triggers Copilot, causing crashes
A recent Windows 10 update, KB5126256, has led to unsanctioned activation of Microsoft's Copilot assistant each time a user clicks a file, causing File Explorer to crash. Logs misattributed the source of the crash to Microsoft Edge instead of Copilot, complicating diagnosis. The issue is linked with an interaction involving Copilot and the 4t Tray Minimizer app. Microsoft claims the update was only for licensing preparation and not intended to alter functionality.
