Oh, I just saw that it's actually even better than that:
Notepad will now be a vector for up-selling you.😵💫
So if you're writing that term paper--in *Notepad*--and you want to rely heavily on integrated Gen AI help, make sure you keep track of your credits or buy CoPilot.

If you find Defender for Endpoint missing in 24H2, let @JasonSandys know

👀 The mssense service is missing on Windows 24H2 images. If you're using Defender for Endpoint, the absence of mssense prevents onboarding devices to MDE on 24H2. This issue affects all devices running 24H2, not just Copilot devices.
Here is a detection and remediation script for you to deploy: github.com/schwerdti/Endpoin…
Steffen has a great post here about it: manage-everything.cloud/post…#Windows11#24H2#MDE
