Overview
- Multiple LG TV owners report that a recent webOS update automatically placed a Microsoft Copilot tile on the home screen.
- A widely shared Reddit post documenting the change drew more than 35,000 upvotes and numerous similar reports.
- Unlike typical streaming apps, the Copilot entry cannot be uninstalled, aligning with LG documentation that some system apps can only be hidden.
- In its current form on affected sets, Copilot behaves as a shortcut to a web-based interface rather than a fully native TV app, according to reporting.
- Users’ practical options are limited to hiding the tile or taking the TV offline, and neither LG nor Microsoft has announced a fix or policy change.
