What to do when Copilot cannot be found on Windows 11?
Where is Copilot?
If Copilot is installed properly on Windows 11, you will be able to find the icon in the lower left corner of the screen. Click the button here and the Copilot side panel will appear.
On some versions of Windows, depending on which version you are running, simply hovering over the Copilot icon will activate it. Otherwise, just click the button to get started.
You need a Microsoft account for Copilot
If Copilot is not available on your system, there could be a number of different reasons. However, one of the most common cases is not being able to log in to your Microsoft account.
For example, if you installed Windows 11 without an Internet connection, you might not be able to sign in to your Microsoft account. Don't worry because switching from a local account to a Microsoft account on Windows 11 is quite easy.
You may have other reasons for not using a Microsoft account with Windows 11, but whatever your reason, Copilot won't work without a Microsoft account.
Have you updated Windows yet?
Copilot may also deploy slowly on your computer if you don't enable automatic updates. To resolve this issue, turn on automatic updates or simply check for updates manually.
To check for updates, press the Windows key , then search for 'updates' . You will see Check for updates appear in the list. Open this, then click the button labeled Check for updates in the upper right corner of the window.
If any updates are available, choose to install them. After rebooting, you should hopefully see Copilot in your Windows 11 installation.
You will need some patience
If you want to try out the newer Copilot features right away, you'll need to be running the Insider build of Windows 11. These are great for trying out new features, but they increase the chance of instability on your computer. Friend.
Assuming you don't want to sign up for the Windows Insider program, you can simply wait until your version of Windows 11 is updated. Microsoft is rolling out Copilot pretty quickly so hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
Hopefully you now have Copilot happily running on your system. If you're not sure where to go from here, check out this guide that explains how to use Copilot on Windows.
