In October 2023, shortly after Microsoft began rolling out Copilot to Windows 10 users, the company discovered a strange bug that would cause desktop icons on multi-monitor systems to jump between monitors when using Copilot. To prevent user frustration, Microsoft has put a compatibility hold, blocking affected Windows 10 users from updating to Windows 11 or even getting Copilot into their system. Now, all of that has finally been fixed.

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 10 users with multi-monitor systems can finally get Copilot on their PCs or update to Windows 11. The bug has been resolved with a new Copilot experience, which is part of KB5039299, the latest non-security update for Windows 10. However, experience The new Copilot is rolling out gradually, which means some users will get Copilot on their Windows 10 PCs a little later than others.

Microsoft explains:

We’re gradually rolling out a new Copilot experience for devices with Windows updates released on June 25, 2024 () or later. This new experience will resolve this issue for Windows 10, version 22H2. This update () was released on June 25, 2024, and you can expect to get the new Copilot experience from now for the next few months.

The new Copilot experience in question is the ability to pin Copilot to the taskbar like a regular app and make it work in a regular app window:

We’re promoting the Copilot experience on Windows. The Copilot app is now pinned to the taskbar and behaves like an app. It gives you the benefits of a typical app experience. For example, you can resize, move and snap the window. For existing Windows 10 PCs, availability timing and delivery method will vary. It may not be available to all users as it will be rolled out gradually.

You can learn more about the bug at Official documentation. There are still a bunch of open issues with Windows 10. One is preventing users from changing their local profile picture in the Settings app, and the other is causing issues with the Microsoft Connected Cache.

As for Windows 11, Microsoft recently confirmed taskbar issues in the June 2024 Windows 11 non-security updates, which are available for download again after a short hiatus due to significant bugs on some systems with virtualization software.
