Windows 10: windows copilot taskbar app now launching browser instead

As of yesterday my windows 11 23h2 23665.2776 copilot taskbar app is now launching the edge browser instead of the copilot conversational bot on the right side of my screen. Can anyone please help me diagnose and restore this functionality now to get my windows copilot experience back into action.

How to see all windows of an app in the taskbar instead of a list

Hello. I've recently done a clean install of Windows (Windows 10 Pro) and I noticed something that bothers me. In the taskbar, when I hover over an app I see the preview window (if there's just 1 window for that app) but when the app has more windows they show as a list (there's no preview).









I was wondering how to fix that?

Thanks

 

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.
