Just to update you:
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.

2024-04-10T09:13:50+00:00 Constant changes not only just with Copilot or in IBs.
Remember the Dark flag was suddenly gone in the IB. Then, recently it's back. While it was gone, some pages were Light. It (the Flag), also, was suddenly gone in Win11 GA. BUT while it was gone there everything was, still, Dark. Then, suddenly, yesterday some pages were Light 😲... Lo & behold the Flag was back & I have to Enable it, again.
Quite bizarre, really.
Cheers,
Drew was not set as default for the url ms-copilot.
Instead it was set for Windows.System.Launcher.
I'm showing below the difference on one machine that works fine and one that failed.
This is on a machine that works without the error shows the correct default App for the URL:ms-copilot.
On the systems that failed the set default button was grayed out. The link was set to Windows.System.Launcher instead of Copilot.
To fix the problem I had to click on the suggested app and then the Set default button became active and let me set the correct default for
URL:ms-copilot to Copilot in Windows (preview)
Pretty crazy, but I could fix all the failing systems the same way. 😉😎🤷♂️
Now they all show the correct default.
The open Copilot on Startup is a completely separate issue and quite inconsistent.
It happens on some machines but not all, depending on what Build was in the Box before the update to 26100 Canary.
There used to be a personalization option for that behavior, but now it disappeared without any logical explanation.
Must be A.I. logic. 😂😂🤷♂️

2024-04-09T17:58:51+00:00 Well, good to know it is ok. Thanks for the 'update', letting me know it works for you, now. After checking (& was ok, for me) didn't know what I could do or say.
I sure do hope this does not fly in 24H2 or something, that this (no choice) "On Startup" with Copilot does not ever end up in 11 GA 😖
Cheers,
