Enable Co Pilot in Windows 11? that is how it works!

Windows 11 has introduced an innovative feature: the Copilot. If you notice that this feature is not immediately available after installation, you can follow the next steps to activate the chatbot.

Within Windows 11, Microsoft has been busy developing “Copilot“. This is an advanced chatbot AI integration that is essentially a combination of the Bing Chat AI with native and third-party plugins. This allows you to interact with the chatbot directly from the operating system.

When you click the “Copilot” button in the taskbar, Copilot will appear as a slide-out window from the right side. It functions similar to the Bing Chat AI you may know from the web and mobile devices, as well as the AI ​​experience within Microsoft Edge. The chatbot in Windows 11 can support you with complex issues. Additionally, you can submit requests for rewrites, summaries, and explanations of content without the need for a browser. In addition, the AI ​​also helps you perform tasks, adjust your settings and switch smoothly between your favorite apps.

Enable Co Pilot in Windows 11

Co-pilot is currently still in an experimental phase, which means that Microsoft is slowly rolling it out on your computer and may still change some aspects of its appearance and functionality.

In the meantime, you can already use Co-pilot. Make sure you have updated Windows 11 with the latest updates. For example, to enable Co-pilot, the KB5030309 update is required. Make sure you have this installed.

Right-click on the desktop, select New and choose the Shortcut option. (In Explorer, click New and choose the Shortcut option).

Copy and paste the following line:

microsoft-edge://?ux=copilot&tcp=1&source=taskbar

Click the Next button.

Give a name for the shortcut. Click the Finish button.

If you now double-click on the shortcut you just created, Co-pilot preview will open on the right side of the screen.

You can also enable Co-Pilot in the following way:

1. Open Settings on Windows 11.
2. Go to Personal settings.
