Feature Request + Bug Report: Improve Startup Behavior & Stability in Copilot App
Resume Latest Conversation on Launch It would be much more efficient if Copilot automatically opened the most recent conversation when the app starts. Having to manually dig through history or start from scratch slows down workflow, especially for users who rely on continuity across sessions. Frequent Crashes & Recovery Issues The app crashes far too often - sometimes multiple times a day. When it does, restarting the app doesn’t always work. I often have to open Task Manager and manually kill the process before I can relaunch it. This is frustrating and breaks momentum, especially when I’m trying to use Copilot more consistently in my daily work. Suggested Fixes: Improve crash recovery so the app can restart cleanly without needing Task Manager intervention Add auto-save or session recovery so no progress is lost Consider a lightweight mode or diagnostic toggle for users experiencing frequent instability I’m committed to using Copilot more, but the current reliability issues make it hard to depend on it for real-time tasks. Hoping the team can prioritize these fixes soon

Windows-based Copilot Pro ONLY crashing on loading larger Conversation, other platforms work.
Hi everyone, I'm writing this post with a bit of frustration. I spent quite a few hours waiting and speaking with the Copilot Microsoft Support live, however; they were unable to help after doing the routine fixes like rebooting, re-installing, Repair, and some cache cleaning (they called it a Backend issue) - then they said that here I would find the solution... which I found a little strange, but here goes. I am working on a software project and have been for the past few months, so there has been a lot of activity in the particular Conversation on Copilot, and as of a couple days ago after uploading a screenshot, it froze and had to be restarted - and any time I would try to load that particular Conversation, it would freeze. Its just that one Conversation on a Windows 11 Copilot Pro setup, every other Conversation works on the Windows setup, and on my other devices like my phone, Copilot has no issues at all, even with the Conversation that won't load on the Windows setup. The difficulty for me is that I am somewhat limited to using the Windows Copilot for functionality, so my phone is out, and the Web-based version doesn't load Conversations. This is a pure Copilot Pro setup, not much to do with 365. Please help, thanks in advance.

Feature Suggestion: Personalized Product Alerts via Wishlist and Regional Availability Tracking
It’d be amazing if Copilot could notify users when specific products they care about become available—especially if it could tie in wishlist items and region-based tracking. Imagine being able to tag a graphics card or monitor you’ve had your eye on, and then Copilot lets you know the moment it’s up for order in your area. No more manually checking five different websites every morning. Just one smart alert when the product is available, with all the relevant specs and vendor links. This would save time, cut through the noise, and make Copilot way more proactive. It’s the kind of feature that fits perfectly with how people already use Copilot—so why not take it a step further? If Copilot’s goal is to be truly helpful and intuitive, adding personalized product alerts would be a strong move in the right direction.Store Teams-Uploaded Files in Azure Blob Storage Instead of OneDrive for Copilot Studio
I have developed a custom agent in Copilot Studio and connected it to Microsoft Teams as a channel. When a user uploads a file via Teams during a conversation with the agent, the file is automatically stored in the user’s personal OneDrive. This creates a limitation because the file content is not directly accessible to the Copilot Studio agent without going through OneDrive APIs, creating dependency on the individual user’s storage. I want these uploaded files to be stored directly in Azure Blob Storage or another centralized storage so the agent can process them without relying on a user’s personal OneDrive. Is there any way to configure this in Teams, Copilot Studio, or Power Automate?
