Microsoft Rolls Out Mandatory Copilot AI App for Windows 10 and 11

The new update pins the AI assistant to the taskbar, making it behave like a standard app with enhanced usability features.

Overview

  • The Copilot app can now be resized, moved, and snapped like any other Windows application.
  • The update is mandatory for Windows 10 users and will install automatically when the system checks for updates.
  • Microsoft aims to increase Copilot adoption among users, especially with Windows 11's slower market uptake.
  • The rollout will be gradual, and not all users will receive the update immediately.
  • Windows 10 support ends in 2025, pushing users toward Windows 11 and its integrated AI features.
