Enable the Copilot button on the taskbar

[paulor1982]

Hello!

With the latest Windows 11 updates, the copilot button appears fixed on the Windows 11 taskbar. Is it Enabled? I like to use the taskbar at the top but I can only do this if I use the Windows 10 taskbar style and in this version it is not possible to enable the copilot button on the taskbar.

Thanks in advance!

It's also added in Windows 10 as well, located where the notification button should be, it seems to push the notifications button to the side If I may add to the suggestion, it should instead replace the no longer working Cortana button!

EDIT: Wait a second, found a thread to put this in thanks to that link

The copilot button will come later in the reimplemented taskbar.

I found a solution to do this as a temporary solution:

1. Desktop > right click > new > shortcut
2. Browse to location of edge browser
3. Once the shortcut is made, right click > properties
4. In the target field, just add microsoft-edge://?ux=copilot&tcp=1&source=taskbar after the target exe it should be like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" microsoft-edge://?ux=copilot&tcp=1&source=taskbar

5. change the icon to copilot

7. Right click shortcut > more options > pin to taskbar

No @YKefasu, that is NOT part of the actual taskbar! All you did was simply create a shortcut to open the Copilot button then pinned it to the taskbar, that’s not what we want! We are NOT looking for a shortcut, we want the actual Copilot button to actually function correctly!

Edit: Okay, I see you edit your message to say it's a temporary solution, alright I'll agree with that, it can be a temporary fix until they actually add it into the taskbar
