Yes, but I did not have to pay for that Chat GPT experience while they were growing; I do for this useless tool.

Stephanie Hoback I was excited to see that they gave Co-Pilot vision. Then I asked it to tell me which app on my desktop was displaying a PDF and to bring it to the foreground...."I'm sorry.." yadah yadah yadah. Ok, I'm having problems with my Microphone, please open the Device manager and show me all the audio input devices on my computer. NOPE! This thing, for an Operating System AI offering, doesn't do anything for the USER with the Operating system. It's basically useless, if I wanted to upload stuff and find out how to do stuff myself I would just use any of the more robust models out there. I'm not paying for this until it becomes better with system commands.

    @TimHJ2345 I am having the same issue with my microphone not working for Copilot and I have followed all of the trouble shooting issues they suggest. SO FRUSTRATING. Last week started AI Assistant for Copilot and it is useless. The one thing is the Microphone works but when I go to use the CoPilot that saves your data, it will not let me use the microphone. I put in a ticket and hope someone calls or I am moving on to another product. Glad to see I am not the only one with this issue.
