Microsoft shipped Windows 11 Insider Preview build 26220.7051 (KB5067115) to Dev and Beta on October 31, 2025, introducing an opt-in “Ask Copilot” experience on the taskbar. You enable it at Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Ask Copilot and can also toggle whether the Copilot app auto-starts at sign-in. Microsoft states Ask Copilot uses existing Windows APIs to return apps, files, and settings like Windows Search, and it does not grant Copilot access to personal content. (blogs.windows.com)
