Copilot is running on my PC but is not shown here in Task Manage with "edge" in the Search Box, of if the Microsoft Edge entry is expanded. I am running 25H2 26200.8246:

I see the same, search for cop in the task manager, it show as a background process->Edge. I think its supposed to close when you close Edge but Copilot still shows it in background. I checked Edge settings to stop background with Edge closed, but its not making Copilot background stop/go away.
Edge->System and Performaance -> System -> click the background tab. Appsis turned 'off' here but still shows Copilot in Background.

So much for MS trying to back down on AI, just empty promises for PR. 🥱
I would switch to linux right now, if there were not so many to choose from.

Nope, not here. The only 'cop' found is this website which is the open tab in Edge
