Don’t get me wrong, I like Copilot, but being on the Search tab from the Taskbar, it’s impossible not to click it by mistake. Many are complaining about the same mishap or that they simply want toremove Copilot from the Taskbar.
Before I explain the easiest way to remove the Copilot icon from there, you should know that in the latest Insider builds, Microsoft moved it to the system tray, on the bottom right corner of the window. Therefore, stay put for the24H2 version of Windows 11because this problem will soon become history.
How do I remove the Copilot icon from the Taskbar?
This is the quickest way of removing the Copilot icon from the Taskbar in Windows 11. Once you perform the simple solution above, you won’t click on it by mistake or see it on the Taskbar.
However, you will still be able to use Copilot if you want to and even reverse this action by backtracking the Taskbar settings.
Now that you’re happy with the change, you can wait for the next Windows 11 big release to get the icon on the system tray, where it won’t bother you anymore.
