Copilot is a major component of Windows, and Microsoft does its best to remind us of that, by integrating its AI assistant in all major Microsoft services.

It seems that Microsoft is now testing a new feature that will show you Copilot as soon as Windows starts.

The latest Windows build has Copilot launching at startup

This was firstreported by MSPowerUser, but many users or X also complained that Copilot automatically launches on startup in Build 26100 for Insiders in Canary and Dev Channel.

Has anyone noticed that Copilot is automatically being launched on 26100, despite not having changed any settings?

This is nothing new, and this feature has been tested in Build 26052, but it has been temporarily disabled.

Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc confirmed that they have enabled this feature again on his X profile:

We previously documented it back in Feb. in this blog post but temporarily disabled it – we’re re-enabling it which is probably why you’re seeing it now.https://t.co/y08M0uitHj

However, not all users will get to experience this change, and according to Microsoft, Copilot only starts automatically for users that have at least 27-inch displays with full HD resolution or larger.

In case you don’t want to see Copilot at startup, you can change Copilot settings from the Personalization section to disable it.

Microsoft is well-known for promoting its services, and the company is currently testingCopilot prompts in Edge’s address bar.

Many believe thatCopilot is more useful to companies, and if that’s true, the question arises as to why Microsoft keeps pushing it so relentlessly to everyday users.
