    I want to view the hashes on MVS myself, but don't have a subscription.
    I read some reddit comments from few mnths ago that we can see the hashes even without subscription, just need to login with basic MS account.

    But today i checked, it just redirects me to hxxps://my.visualstudio.com/Benefits , instead of staying in hxxps://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads
    did MS restrict it recently?

    Windhawk
    U also have some others, sorry I forgot the names and deleted bookmarks. I was dabbling into it back in September trying to make w11 more like w10. I literally deleted bookmarks like a week ago or so.
    But Windhawk is the most popular

    If one logs in into copilot app with microsoft email domain, will the login be automatically attributed to windows (online account, and current windows installation connected to it), and office 365? And will the email be shown in settings->home?

    i think it gives you the option to sign in everywhere ore not. At least it used to.

    Yeah, but I'm worried that login into copilot app might connect/attribute the login to other microsoft products. As in, all of a sudden after that a local account on windows will be connected to the email/account and to office 365? I'm sorry if previous post was confusing.
    My other thought was, should I try in in a sandbox mode? Idk...

    What happens when you sign into the Copilot app with a Microsoft email
    • The Copilot app uses its own sign‑in session, handled securely by Microsoft, Google, or Apple depending on what you choose.

    • That sign‑in is isolated to the Copilot app itself.

    • Copilot does not:
      • Convert a local Windows account into a Microsoft account

      • Link your Windows installation to that email

      • Sign you into Office 365 apps

      • Change the account shown in Settings → Home
    • Copilot also never sees your password — the identity provider handles that.

    ️ Will Windows suddenly switch to that Microsoft account?
    Absolutely not. Windows only links to a Microsoft account if you explicitly go into Settings and choose to sign in with a Microsoft account. Copilot cannot trigger that.


    Will the email appear in Settings → Home?
    No. Settings → Home only shows the account used for Windows itself. Signing into Copilot does not modify that.


    What about Office 365?
    Office apps (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) maintain their own sign‑in state. Signing into Copilot does not sign you into Office 365 or change the account used there.


    If you want to test safely
    Your idea of trying it in a sandbox is perfectly reasonable, but honestly unnecessary — the Copilot sign‑in is intentionally sandboxed from Windows and Office.
