Windows 10: why does copilot only open on my main monitor?

I have attached a imgur link to a screenshot of my desktop. I am clicking the co pilot button on that second monitor as the co pilot is clearly telling me in the response in the screenshot. however as the screenshot clearly shows EXCLUSIVELY opens in the main monitor. I guess my main question is why is copilot out here lying? https://imgur.com/a/tBfRHap

None of the methods to disable Copilot work, can't even hide it

I suggest you post your question in the tutorial thread to find out if Brink or the other tutorial participants can help you Enable or Disable Copilot - TenForumsTutorials Best of luck, Denis

 

Taskbar Disappears After Copilot is Opened

Hello Abdullah,

I did as you asked but the taskbar still disappeared after I clicked on the Copilot icon to open it up. Once again, I had to toggle the auto-hide taskbar option to get it back. I almost mentioned it the first time, but I am running with two monitors. My main monitor is where I clicked the Copilot icon and opened it and it is also where my taskbar disappears. The taskbar remains visible on my second monitor if that means anything.

EDIT: Just for the heck of it I tried launching Copilot from the second monitor instead; but because the Copilot window/sidebar cannot be physically moved to the second monitor, Copilot still opened on the main monitor and the taskbar on the main monitor disappeared again. /Shrug.

This isn't a game-breaker or anything, but I like always having my taskbar visible - the auto-hide setting annoys me - pops up when I don't mean for it to do so and not pop up when I expect it to. I guess until they get around to looking into this, I will just have to deal with it, but I don't really foresee myself using Copilot much anyway. So, I'm good, I guess.

EDIT AGAIN: I forgot that the Snipping Tool has been upgraded last year and allows screen recording now, so I made a screen recording you can watch to see this in action. I uploaded the 10.1mb video clip to my OneDrive and anyone can (should) be able to view it by clicking this link below.
