Howdy! Within the last few days Co-pilot has went missing from the bottom right of the screen. It used to be an icon right of the system clock. My wife has the icon on Windows 11 Build 226321 and has the co-pilot app on the bottom right. I had the same build. Steps so far to try to fix this: I am logged into my Microsoft account(Start menu shows my picture) Copilot pro is active Updated Windows Installed Insider preview Beta and dev channels no change Checked Taskbar settings nothing about the program to toggle on or off Reinstalled copilot under apps I signed up for the subscription thinking that would help it did not. Ran sfc /scannow no change I DO have the copilot program on the PC but this one acts different in terms of how to access it. I liked the program preview version in the corner because it just popped up when I needed to use it. Now it's a separate window I have to snap to the right side, but the behavior is still very different. I don't like this. I don't know how to get it back to what my wife has. The program also appears as normal in Office 365 apps. Any suggestions on how I can get the copilot icon to how it was at the bottom right of my screen next to the system clock?

Again, never had that issue. Also, love how you aren’t really responding to anything else I said in my original post. Or anything in my og post at all? It's very much an "I hAvE PrObLeMs So It NeEdS tO bE tHrOwN aWaY" type thing. Not sure why you had bugs, but the vast majority did not. Oh NoOoOo, y- you hated it?? Unlike the vast majority of users?? Dang, that means it needs to be completely removed, since your opinion is the only one that matters 😔😔😔🙁🙁😣😣😣😭😭😭😭😭😱😱😰🫣 Again, I feel like letting users choose between the options would be much better than forcing one or the other. Anyways, you’re sounding like a broken record, sooooooo bye ✌️ 👋 👊👊👏🤝🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

I think the main thing is now the app disappears if you click on a separate window. You used to be able to just change the window (ie. swapping between Chrome and Word) and Copilot would stay there. Now, changing the browser covers Copilot. Yes, you can drag each individual window to the side and do a split screen, but you have to do that for every other window. Before, it just happened. I do like being able to move it anywhere on the screen, and that is something that should've been an option FOREVER ago. However, I think the sidebar was much better for switching back and forth between other windows. Additionally, this new update kind of broke the Copilot key on my keyboard. I like being able to personalize what the key does now, but I liked it better before. The new version only opens the Copilot app and won't close it. The Preview could do both. Lastly, my school has Copilot blocked, but not Chat GPT. The old one worked without the need for a VPN, but this new version requires me to turn on a VPN and then go to the app. I might as well just use Chat GPT 🤷♂️. Yes, that's my school's fault, not the new app's. Still, I used to use Copilot for convenience, and now it doesn't work quite as well for MY needs. And it doesn't really have to be, but I wish they let you choose between a few things, just IMO 🤷♂️🤷♂️.

Copilot is missing from the bottom right side

Howdy!

Within the last few days Co-pilot has went missing from the bottom right of the screen. It used to be an icon right of the system clock.

My wife has the icon on Windows 11 Build 226321 and has the co-pilot app on the bottom right. I had the same build.

Steps so far to try to fix this:

I am logged into my Microsoft account(Start menu shows my picture)
Copilot pro is active
Updated Windows
Installed Insider preview Beta and dev channels no change
Checked Taskbar settings nothing about the program to toggle on or off
Reinstalled copilot under apps
I signed up for the subscription thinking that would help it did not.
Ran sfc /scannow no change

I DO have the copilot program on the PC but this one acts different in terms of how to access it. I liked the program preview version in the corner because it just popped up when I needed to use it. Now it's a separate window I have to snap to the right side, but the behavior is still very different. I don't like this. I don't know how to get it back to what my wife has. The program also appears as normal in Office 365 apps.

Any suggestions on how I can get the copilot icon to how it was at the bottom right of my screen next to the system clock?

Hi SeeonX,

MS has decided to run as a separate app, so all Copilot's will end up in the Taskbar without the ability to move it next to the clock.

Put your idea forward to the Feedback Hub, if enough people want it there and vote for it maybe MS we give us the option to move it where the user wants it.

Copilot is out of pre View.
