Microsoft changed their Copilot app for Windows 11 completely. They rebuilt it from scratch as a true Windows program instead of just running it through a web browser. Right at the moment, you can try this new version if you signed up for the Windows Insider program. The fresh design matches Windows 11 perfectly with cool blur effects in the background; regular right-click menus, and a better sidebar that helps you manage all your chats.
The app works faster because Microsoft built it with their special Windows programming tools. It starts up quicker and runs smoother than before. You can still do all the same stuff with it - talk through text, use your voice, and find your past conversations. The difference is how much better it looks and how much easier it feels to use every day.
Microsoft added a clear button for starting new chats and fixed up the sidebar to make finding things easier. All your favorite settings stayed the same - you can still make Copilot start when your computer boots up and use Alt+Spacebar to open it fast. This update comes right after Microsoft surprised everyone by releasing a Copilot app for Apple computers last week, which seemed strange since they usually focus on Windows first.
The new app shows Microsoft's desire to make things work the same across different kinds of computers, just like they do with Office programs. If you want to try this fresh design yourself, look for version 1.25023.106.0 in the Microsoft Store—but remember you need to be a Windows Insider. Regular users will have to wait until Microsoft gathers enough feedback from testers before they release it to everyone else.
