A PC equipped with advanced AI capabilities and Windows Copilot integration
Yes. The reported behavior can still occur, and the available guidance does not show a confirmed public fix for cases where Copilot fails to retain context even within the same chat thread.
Supported facts:
- Copilot memory and personalization are separate features from normal chat continuity.
- Memory/personalization can be on by default when available.
- If turned off, Copilot forgets memories from conversations and future responses are no longer personalized.
- For Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, saved memories are explicit or inferred details that Copilot can use later.
- Copilot can save information when asked.
- Temporary chat does not use or update memory, and it does not appear in chat history.
- There are documented user reports where Copilot did not retain information as expected.
- One accepted Microsoft Q&A answer states there was no publicly documented incident confirming a recent-context problem, but recommends reporting it through Send feedback > Report a problem.
- For work or school accounts, the Microsoft 365 administrator should check Health > Service health and can open a support request if the issue is ongoing.
- For consumer Copilot memory, rollout has been staged for eligible accounts and regions.
- Accepted Microsoft Q&A answers indicate memory availability has been rolling out gradually, so some accounts or regions may not yet have full functionality even if settings appear enabled.
Practical guidance:
- Check whether Personalization and memory is enabled.
- On copilot.com, Copilot for Windows, and Copilot for macOS: select the profile icon, select the profile name, then Memory > Personalization and memory.
- In Edge Sidebar: ... > Settings > Memory > Personalization and memory.
- Confirm the chat is not a temporary chat.
- Temporary chats do not access or store personalized information and cannot be referenced later.
- If memory is enabled but Copilot still loses context, treat it as a product issue rather than expected behavior.
- Use Send feedback > Report a problem when it happens.
- Include the approximate time, platform, and whether it happens across multiple devices.
- If using a work or school account, have the Microsoft 365 admin check Health > Service health and open a service request if needed.
So the short answer is: this is a real issue reported by users, it is not documented as normal intended behavior, and if it happens in a non-temporary chat with memory enabled, it should be reported for investigation.
