Optimizing Copilot for Performance

Just like any software, you can fine-tune Microsoft Copilot to ensure it operates at its best. By doing so, you’ll experience faster and more accurate responses while minimizing the strain on system resources.

Manage memory and CPU usage

Monitor the system resources that Microsoft Copilot consumes regularly using tools like Task Manager. If Copilot responds slowly or crashes, close unnecessary programs to free up memory and CPU power. Additionally, turn off unnecessary add-ins in Microsoft 365 apps to prevent them from freezing when using Copilot.

Utilize Copilot’s AI capabilities

Provide clear and specific prompts to Copilot to receive more accurate and relevant suggestions. The more context you provide, the better Copilot understands your requirements. For example, when generating code, include comprehensive documentation, comments, and instructions to guide Copilot in understanding the code’s purpose and functionality.
