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.

vs
Undocked/Overlay/as an AppYes, 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. 😎😂

NO Copilot❗ 😃👍👍👏
(I'm sure I must have had it On for a reason 🤣🤔🤷♂️) It's On in Win11 GA, where the issue doesn't exist, (yet? 🤨).
Yes, the difference explained. I'm not always as dumb as some people look 😉😂
And now we really DO know how to have choice about Copilot opening at Start(up)
Cheers,

Not a great choice. 🤣😵💫
They should just put back the option they had before in Personalization. Why did they hide it? Why so many complications? 😝
The option was one of those experimental features that they try in A/B testing. Now they disabled the id with priority 15 so that it cannot even be enabled again. 😵💫😝🤬

2024-04-12T01:30:40+00:00 Certainly, I cannot answer that.
I have just proven something further to this... I tried it with the setting OFF
But, this time, the Copilot icon On.
Copilot auto-opened with Restart.
Summary: Both of the above must be OFF to prevent Copilot auto-opening @ Startup.
