Microsoft introduced the integrated Copilot assistant feature within the system last year. However, many users found themselves still unable to access the Copilot functionality and noticed that Copilot was missing from settings. Next, I will explain the reasons and how to install or delete Copilot on Windows 11.
Many computers now come equipped with a Copilot key on the keyboard, allowing them to launch Copilot with a simple click. If your computer does not have this key, you can also launch it by pressing <Win + C> or clicking on the Copilot logo on the taskbar.
Many people have found that their Windows 11 systems do not include the Copilot feature, and there is still no Copilot toggle switch on the Taskbar tab. There are two main reasons for this:
If your system version is too low, Copilot may not be available. By default, Copilot in Windows 11 is enabled in version 23H2 or later of Windows 11. You can check if your system is updated to the latest version; if not, try updating it.
Copilot is currently not available to everyone. Windows Copilot is only open to certain regions, so if you are not in the specified region, you may receive an error message.
Additionally, due to phased rollout, even if you are in a supported region and have updated to the latest version of Windows 11, you still may not be able to access Copilot normally.
Step 1: Open the Microsoft Store with Windows Search Box by typing "Microsoft Store" in it.
Step 2: Type "microsoft copilot" in the textbox, and click Search icon. Click to enter the Microsoft Copilot software, then click on "Get" button.
Step 1: Open the Microsoft Copilot Installer link in the explorer, and tap "download" button.
Step 2: After completing download, follow the guidance to install Copilot.

Step 1: Press <Win + R> to open run dialog, type "regedit" and press Enter to access to Registry Editor.

Step 4: Then go to Taskbar Settings. Disable and Enable Copilot.
Note: The operation to modify the registry may fail every time the computer is restarted and needs to be reset.
Step 1: Click on the Windows key, then click "All apps" in the upper right corner of the app list.
Step 2: Right-click on Copilot and select "Uninstall".
