Copilot shows blank white page after sign-in (app, Edge and Chrome) – account routed via cosmicRingCookie

Since today, Microsoft Copilot shows only a blank white page as soon as my personal Microsoft account (live.com) is signed in. This happens in the Copilot Windows app, in Edge, and in Chrome.

What happened:

  • The Copilot app froze while "thinking". I force-closed it and restarted the PC. After that it only showed a white screen.
  • The Repair option did nothing ("no updates").
  • I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled Copilot. Still a white screen.

What I have tested:

  • Fresh Copilot app profile (User Data folder reset): still white.
  • Copilot app with GPU acceleration disabled (--disable-gpu): still white.
  • Edge InPrivate, and a brand-new Edge profile with extensions disabled: still white.
  • Chrome: the Copilot sign-in page loads normally, but after I sign in the page goes white.
  • Norton paused: no change. Virtual monitor driver disabled: no change.
  • Network is fine (copilot.microsoft.com returns 200, no proxy). A headless Edge test loads the signed-out page fine.
  • https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat DOES work with the same account (slow to load), but my existing Copilot Pages do not appear there.

Key detail: after sign-in, the page URL becomes

copilot.com/?fromcode=...&es=Click&redirfrom=userTypeCookie&redirfrom=cosmicRingCookie

and stays blank. This suggests my account is being routed to a broken experience on the server side.

In the Copilot app log I see:

  • "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'hasChildNodes')" from res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/midgard/versionless-v2/main.30048d22.js
  • A CORS block on the redirect to login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize from cr.m365copilotapp.svc.cloud.microsoft

System:

  • Windows 11 Home, build 26300
  • Copilot app and Edge version 157.0.4341.46
  • NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER

Question: How can my account be taken out of this routing (cosmicRingCookie / userTypeCookie) so that Copilot loads again, and how can I get my existing Copilot Pages back?

    The redirect to copilot.com indicates that this personal account has moved—or is completing its move—to the updated Copilot experience; there is no documented user control for removing cosmicRingCookie/userTypeCookie routing, so the blank signed-in experience and missing Pages now require an account-side investigation by Microsoft Support.^1^

    Escalate the account migration failure

    The results already rule out an ordinary app profile, GPU, browser-extension, local network, and single-browser problem. Do not uninstall or reset the app again.

    1. Open the Windows Get Help app.
    2. Enter:
      Personal Microsoft account Copilot migration – blank page after redirect to copilot.com and missing Copilot Pages
    3. Select Contact Support, choose the Copilot/Microsoft-account-related product offered, and then choose chat or callback. Contact options depend on region, support hours, scenario, and subscription.^2^
    4. Ask Support to investigate:
      • the migration state of the personal account to the updated Copilot app;
      • the account-specific signed-in routing failure;
      • whether the account’s Copilot Pages/content migration is pending or failed.
    5. Include:
      • when the failure began;
      • that signed-out Copilot loads but signing in produces a blank page;
      • that it reproduces in the Windows app, Edge, and Chrome;
      • the final URL parameters redirfrom=userTypeCookie and redirfrom=cosmicRingCookie;
      • the hasChildNodes JavaScript exception and CORS failure;
      • confirmation that fresh profiles, reinstall, GPU disabling, extensions, security software, and network checks did not change it;
      • a screenshot and, if Support requests it, a browser HAR/console export captured during sign-in.

    Do not post the HAR publicly: it can contain authentication URLs, cookies, account identifiers, and tokens.

    If the Copilot interface becomes usable enough to access its menu, also submit … → Send feedback → Report a problem with the same details. That is Microsoft’s documented reporting route for updated-app migration problems.^1^

    Recovering the existing Pages

    Microsoft states that personal-account users are moved to the updated app and that their chats and content move with them; users of both previous experiences have their content merged into the single updated app.^3^

    For missing content:

    • Sign in using exactly the same personal Microsoft account and authentication method previously used.
    • Once copilot.com loads, check for an in-app link to existing content.
    • Allow time for migration and synchronization; Microsoft notes that content can remain unavailable while it is moving.^1^
    • If any Pages become accessible in another client or session, copy or export their contents immediately. When Pages remain blank everywhere, there is no confirmed user-side restoration procedure; account/backend investigation is required.^4^

    The working m365.cloud.microsoft/chat session is not evidence that the personal Pages are available there. Copilot keeps personal and work/school experiences separate, and data does not flow between those account types.^5^

    One remaining conditional browser check

    Only if third-party cookies have not already been explicitly allowed, test once with them enabled—not merely in InPrivate mode, where they can be blocked by default:

    • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data → turn Block third-party cookies off.
    • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → select Allow third-party cookies.

    Copilot web authentication and license validation can depend on third-party cookies.^6^ If this was already enabled, or the same blank page remains, return it to the preferred privacy setting and proceed with Support; the cross-client, account-specific migration failure is the actionable path.
