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.

    I get that everyone has a preference but I believe the best solution is to offer the option to have the side panel enabled.... Options Microsoft! OPTIONS! please :)

    This was a good move as far as the app goes but I loved having the original slide panel. Now I have to resize the page if I want to have it up on my screen with other apps open. An option for the slide panel would be nice so those that like it can still use it and those that prefer other options can take advantage of those. Please put my copilot back, I use it everyday! thank you

    Indeed this is exactly what I ended up doing! :) I still like the button but I mean the button is also on the task bar now so not a big deal.

    The pinned icon can be moved too. 😂
