According to IT之家, citing a bleepingcomputer report, Microsoft has pushed a patch to classic Outlook that fixes the disappearance of Copilot Chat and the Copilot button. Microsoft had previously acknowledged that after classic Outlook was upgraded to Build 20026.20182 and later, some users with a Copilot Chat license or a paid M365 Copilot account could lose Copilot Chat and Copilot entry points, because Outlook failed to retrieve the required account information from the user profile. Affected users can run the official Copilot troubleshooting tool, tick "Show apps in Outlook" under File > Options > Advanced in the Outlook pane, or use Copilot in the new Outlook or Outlook on the web instead.

Citing a Windows Latest report, IT之家 says Microsoft will discontinue the Copilot themes feature in the new Outlook worldwide in mid-to-late October 2026, covering the new Outlook for Windows and macOS as well as Outlook.com on the web. The feature let users enter a description or pick a preset direction so Copilot could generate a visual style and apply it to the Outlook interface, and it had been promoted as a major update for the new Outlook on Windows 10 and Windows 11. In the same round of changes, Microsoft will also remove "Wrap up your day", which sent a Copilot prompt to produce a short inbox summary in the right sidebar, and it plans an October 2026 update that gives Outlook's Copilot experience a simpler, chat-centric design with improved navigation, chat layout and Work IQ controls. IT之家 relays Windows Latest's speculation that usage fell short of Microsoft's expectations; Microsoft has not publicly confirmed a reason.
