Copilot Issues

I can't say much. Never spent much time on that part. Just like/enjoying testing, Feedback about like/dislike, works/helps or not. And just the fun of hands-on seeing what MAY be on the horizon.

But all that area is not my pay-grade 😂 Cannot comment about throats. Plus, IBs, especially Canarys, are one thing... what ultimately is in GAs can be so different; things changing, hit & miss, come & go,.. try to roll with the punches is what I see or do. Muck about what what's tossed at me 🤣 My interest is to work behind the scenes, ahead of GAs and what of all the time & effort spent on IBs translates to GAs. I find that cool to see & have been involved.

For me, I don't care if it's ON at Start. Other things are, too. What I mind is it OPENING at Start❗👎👎 There are things Enable @ Startup that turn ON at the onset (pun not intended) BUT... they are not opening on the screen at the onset❗🤨 Just so I can close something, I might not want or need straightaway, from the screen... what sense does that make❔🙄

But, indeed, said earlier, there, actually, IS a way to have choice 👍👍👏 OFF & Win+C.

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.

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 OFFSummary: 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.

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.
