Operating System

Windows

Your Pieces OS Version

8.0.0

Kindly describe the bug and include as much detail as possible on what you were doing so we can reproduce the bug.

Windows users please be aware that with the release of Pieces OS v8.0.0, upon loading the desktop application the first time you may receive the following dialog box:

This is a standalone executable that we need to run in order to enable our new long-term memory and other enhancements to the copilot chat experience. This dialog box is expected and in order to receive this new functionality you will need to choose "Allow access." If you deny it, you will likely have a degraded chat experience and it may cause breakages in the app down the line.

Apologies for the inconvenience; we will work on making this a better user experience going forward.

@judson-at-pieces - can you make sure this is in the Windows install docs please. We can then close this issue.
