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.

    You compare the need to install a secondary app then same as having a streamlined competent AI at your taskbars fingertips?

    In reply to the serial 'Happy Faced' commenter, could you please tell me where it is that voting out the icon has more votes than keeping it? If you count all comments up to this post, what you say is incorrect unless, of course, you can validate it from somewhere substantial. Many thanks for considering my request.

    The comments here don't mean much.

    You need to file an FBH report to express your preference. 😉

    yes, i agree it was better when it was beside the clock instead of it becoming a different app, it was easier to use and activate when it was beside the clock. i request it to be brought back or make it a option in the task bar setting, pls.
