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?

@onuryalcin, Did you even read through the previous posts on this thread? 😂😂😂🤐

I would like it back where it was thanks.

I am a UX & Research manager in a big corporate in Canada and I will talk about this with my team. They will really not understand why the preview version had a superior user experience... Yes, the preview version was very well integrated and well placed, on the right side. No matter what app we are working with, we click on it, and it opens a pane and it had a solid user experience. I got this sad surprise in my latest Windows Update and initially I thought that a simple option in the settings menu, will bring it back to the right side as it was before. Sadly not!! An integrated and practical CoPilot placed where it was before is now a casual app with an inferior user experience.... If users feedback influenced this decision to make it a casual App, then I am puzzled for sure... And even more puzzling, we did not even think about offering an option in the Settings menu to give the users the choice to bring it back as a pane on the right side.... I can't wait to see my UX team's reaction at work... So I honestly suggest, from both, a Windows 11 user's feedback and from a UX specialist perspective, to simply offer to users a menu option to bring back CoPilot's experience, if they want to, the way it was before (integrated on the right side). Otherwise, I doubt that I will have the reflex to use it at home or work the way I used to... Regards

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.

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.
