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?

It was really so convenient to have on the side. I'm using Co-Pilot for Microsoft and it was so easy to ask. With the new update, I now need to go look for a separate window to open and I have so many already open. I'm going to test if a restore point works, then install future updates by click. The idea is to have a regular App so you can move and shape the open window anywhere you like. If you want it on the right side just open it on the right side. If you open it once in the position you like, it will open there every time. They are not going backward and give you back the silly preview version. 🤣🤣🤣 Here is the new App version 1.0.4.0 opened on the right side. It can be moved anywhere a user likes and stays there every time you reopen it. 👌 You can have a shortcut on the desktop or pin it to the taskbar. Where is the problem with that?

I agree. As previous users stated the panel boosted my productivity and I used it very regularly. Please return the preview version

Because, if you actually care about productivity the slide out was brilliant. You could open it, get the info you needed with minimal interruption to your flow. Honestly...I pay for both copilot pro and github copilot and if that button isn't there, sliding out from the right I'm more likely to create my own app to restore that functionality but I'll launch meta.ai for free. I paid for the convenience...you take the convenience away and there's no reason to pay.

yeah it was very useful and less distracting while doing work plz move it next to the clock again

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.

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.
