Copilot Issues

Split from this thread.

On April 6, 2024, I started getting this error message. It was working correctly on April 5 with the new undocked format, but not anymore. 😵‍💫

Looks like they changed something that broke it. 🤷‍♂️

After the error, opening snipping tool to take a shot, crashes explorer.exe.

    Pinned = Side-by-side or 'docked'.
    vs
    Undocked/Overlay/as an App

    Yes, even, with that OFF, for me, it still opened at next Startup. And as whatever/whichever way it was last used.

    I may have found a reason. Will take a wee bit of time to investigate; see if this makes a difference. Maybe, the setting below is On, by default, in 26100.1

    Not that it should matter.

    It is off on my machines; I'll check to see what happens if I turn it on. 😉

    Edit:

    Yes, that setting is the cause of the different behavior. I never had that option on. 😎😂

    Summary: Toggling the Copilot icon to OFF does not stop it from auto-opening at Start. It will auto-return as it was/where it was before a reboot, after a reboot.

    It does for me. 🤷‍♂️

    Same on 2 machines.

    Something different on your system.

    More A/B testing from MS to force you to use A.I. (aka Absolute Idiocy) 🤣🤣🤣

    Edit:

    I don't understand what you mean with Pinned. I don't see a way to pin/unpin copilot, It is either on or off.

    2nd, changed Copilot to Pinned & Closed (X). Restarted. Copilot opened, pinned, as it had been when last used or open. Auto @ Startup, even with icon OFF

    Oh, Oh 🤨😕🙄...

    The shut off at the taskbar seemed/sounded so logical, but alas... I just tried it twice, both with the taskbar icon OFF.

    Fired up 26100.1

    1st, Copilot had opened as an App. Ok, fine, left it that way & Closed (X). Restarted. Copilot opened as an App, as it had been when last used or open. Auto @ Startup, even with icon OFF.
