Apps Quit Copilot in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to quit (exit) the Copilot app for your account in Windows 11.

The Microsoft Copilot app is an AI here to give advice, inspiration, and help when you need a hand. You can start a conversation to get clear answers to tough questions, turn ideas into images, or polish your writing until it shines.

Signing into Copilot using your personal Microsoft Account gives you access to your chat history, image creation, longer conversations, voice interactions, and other Copilot features.

When you open the Copilot app, a Copilot notification icon will appear on the taskbar system tray.

If you turned on the Keep running after you close Copilot setting, the Copilot process will still run in the background with the Copilot notification icon on the taskbar system tray even if you close the Copilot app.
