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.

    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 πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ™πŸ™πŸ˜£πŸ˜£πŸ˜£πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜°πŸ«£

    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 ✌️ πŸ‘‹ πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘πŸ€πŸ«ΆπŸ«ΆπŸ«ΆπŸ«ΆπŸ«Ά

    I never had that issue, and, from what others on the rest of this thread have said it hasn't been for them either. Was your computer just unable to run Copilot as efficiently as everyone else's?

    Going back to my original post, I did say they should give us the options to customize it. Those who like the more efficient style of the sidebar should be able to use it. Those who like more flexibility with the new app should be able to do that.

    Just because you couldn't fix a bug on your computer doesn't mean it should be ruined for everyone else 😝😝πŸ€ͺ😭😭😭🫣🫣🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠πŸ₯±πŸ˜΄

    Got the same problem on several different computers.

    The Copilot preview was just another source of bugs. 😝😝🀬🀬

    On top of that I hated the Side Panel implementation. It was just a bad idea. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ€¬πŸ€¬πŸ€¬πŸ€¬πŸ€¬

    @Chickens218.

    The side panel Copilot had a serious bug, it was rearranging all the icons on the desktop every time it opened. 😝🀬
