Microsoft Copilot is your everyday AI companion that helps you to be smarter, more productive, more creative, and more connected to the people and things around you. Whether you want to learn how to code, plan an Influencer level vacation, or just need a little help writing a hard email, your everyday AI companion is there to help you get the job done like a pro. If you missed that meeting and need a quick recap or can’t figure out the tax code for your new side hustle, Copilot is there to sprinkle some AI pixie dust on the problem. There when you need it, Copilot works smoothly, seamlessly, and securely across your Microsoft apps to elevate everything you do. Speed up tasks, get more personalized answers and useful information, or find new creative inspiration. And you can do it all by asking for what you want the way you naturally write and speak. It doesn’t care if the task is big or small, it’s just there to help you get the job done. Copilot empowers you to achieve anything you can imagine.
Starting with the Copilot app (version 1.24112.123.0 and higher) gradually rolling out to all Insider channels, the previous Copilot progressive web app (PWA) is replaced with a native version. When you run Copilot, you will see it appear in your system tray. You can access the new quick view for Copilot by using the Alt + Space keyboard shortcut on Windows 10 and 11 PCs. You will be able to move the quick view window and resize it to suit your workflow and you can use Alt + Space to open and close Copilot’s quick view whenever you need. To flip back to the main Copilot app window, just press the icon at the top left corner of the quick view window. PCs with the dedicated Copilot key will open the Copilot app up the main window. Copilot will continue to explore options related to the keyboard shortcuts for the app.
Note: The Copilot app for Windows uses the RegisterHotKey function for the Alt + Space keyboard shortcut. Many apps use this keyboard shortcut today. For any apps installed on your PC that might utilize this keyboard shortcut, Windows will register whichever app is launched first on your PC and running in the background as the app that is invoked when using Alt + Space.
