Before we dive into the solutions, there are a few things that you need to take care of. First, you need to make sure that you are logged in with your Microsoft account, as Copilot is not available to local accounts. Additionally, we recommend you perform a system restart. This will restart the services and refresh the components that might resolve the issue.
1. Enable Copilot Using Taskbar Settings
If the Copilot option is disabled in your Taskbar settings, you won’t be able to see it. However, you can still access it using the shortcut keys (Win + C). Therefore, check the taskbar settings before proceeding to other methods.
2. Update Windows
You might have an outdated Windows version that does not include Copilot. If that’s the case, updating Windows to the latest version should resolve the issue.
3. Disconnect the Second Monitor
Some users found that using a dual monitor confuses Copilot, resulting in this issue. This might seem unusual, but if you have a dual monitor setup, it’s worth trying to disconnect the secondary monitor to see if this resolves the issue.
4. Modify the Registry Editor
You might have Copilot disabled from the registry editor. By modifying specific registry keys, you can re-enable Copilot. Note: Please make a registry backup before following this method.
5. Use ViveTool
If none of the solutions work, you can consider using the third-party utility called ViveTool. This utility allows users to enable hidden or experimental features on Windows 11. If you followed these steps carefully, you should see the Windows Copilot in your taskbar, especially after following the last method.
