Microsoft acknowledges Copilot auto-launching unexpectedly after restarting the PC issue

Many users running preview builds have reported Copilot auto-launching unexpectedly after restarting their PCs.

Microsoft released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.3500 to the Beta Channel and acknowledged the issue.

In a blog post, Microsoft mentioned:

  • [NEW] We are aware of reports by Insiders in the Canary, Dev, and Beta Channels that Copilot is auto-launching unexpectedly after restarting their PCs. We hope to have a fix for this issue soon and is unrelated to the auto-launching experience we tried out with Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels in early February which we stopped rolling out in March.
  • Voice access does not work reliably with the updated Copilot in Windows experience that introduces the ability for Copilot to act like a normal application.
  • Using Windows Ink to write in Copilot will not work with the updated Copilot in Windows experience.

So, if you are one of the Insiders facing the same issue, you might have to wait for a fix.

Microsoft already confirmed these issues with the Dev and Canary channels earlier in April. Now that they have mentioned them with the Beta channel update, which is important as it is the final channel before release preview.

We know that Microsoft will soon fix this bug as the Redmond-based tech giant wants all its users to use its AI assistant and integrate it into the daily lives of Windows users.
