I've been experiencing this issue for bout the last week, with the beta preview built into Windows. Then in the last 24 hours the same issue is happening in the browser version.
I will create a prompt and get a perfectly good response. I then ask a follow-up question, and Copilot has no idea what I'm talking about.
I have to contextually ground every single prompt, which is incredibly tiresome.
I've notified MS on the feedback hub at least 4 times. I've tried shouting out them on LinkedIn, numerous times with images like the ones here.
Copilot is completely broken on my machine, in all forms. On the first one you can see we're only a little way into the session. It's gotten to the point now where I'm keeping my browser open and using ChatGPT. I've asked Copilot how do I reset it, but it tells me to use options that simply don't exist. I deleted all of my previous conversations locally, and all of the ones in the privacy section of my online profile, but no luck. I asked Copilot if it stored local copies of our conversations, thinking maybe they were causing a problem. It said that yes it does. I asked where they were, and it said it couldn't tell me. After a number of times asking the same question it told me a location, which didn't exist.
So, it can clearly be broken, and there is no way to reset it as a user. Or at least none I have found through online searching. I looked in the registry for an hour but no luck there either. Obviously buried very deep.
Please for the love of God, how do I restore Copilot?!!
Interesting side not, I was spending a month with Copilot as a programming aid to see if it was ready for daily use...that's going to be an interesting article!
