• [NEW] We are aware of reports from insiders in the Canary, Dev, and Beta channels of Copilot unexpectedly auto-starting after a PC restart.

Windows Insiders in the beta channel may experience the following known issues if the new position of the widget entry point is on the left-aligned taskbar.

• Widget swipe calls may not work if the taskbar is centered instead of left aligned.
• If your taskbar is centered instead of left-aligned, you may not be able to unpin widgets from the taskbar.
• Widget boards are not positioned correctly when Copilot is in parallel mode.
• Turning widgets on/off in taskbar settings may cause the taskbar to update.
