    Hi Rujhin Celis,

    Thanks for explaining. Since this has been happening in the Copilot app for two days, I’d like to narrow down whether the problem is limited to the app or also affects your account.

    Could you please confirm:

    • Does Copilot work normally when you sign in through a web browser?
    • Which Windows version and build are you using? You can press Win + R, type winver and select OK.
    • Does the loading message appear as soon as the app opens or only after you submit a prompt?
    • Have you already tried repairing, resetting or reinstalling the app?

    In the meantime, open Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Copilot > Advanced options. Select Terminate, followed by Repair and then test the app again. If the issue continues, return to the same page and select Reset. You may need to sign in again afterward.

    It would also be worth opening the Store, selecting Library and checking for updates. Please let me know whether the browser version works and what happens after the repair.
