How to Enable Windows Copilot in Windows 11 22H2 Moment 4

Microsoft has made Windows Copilot available to all users with the release of the Windows 11 22H2 Moment 4 update. With Windows Copilot, the company is testing the integration of AI in Windows 11.

FYI, “Windows Copilot” is an AI-based assistant or program that is being developed by Microsoft for Windows 11. It’s designed to assist users in various tasks and activities on their PCs. It will provide contextual suggestions, help with productivity, and improve the overall user experience.

The program is intended to be integrated into Windows 11 as a separate application, rather than running through a web browser like Edge. (From the Bing Chat Mode in Edge that uses AI)

The release of Windows Copilot is initially controlled and limited to some countries that see Europe excluded, at least for the moment for issues related to the new EU rules. So it is possible that even if you’re running the same build, the Windows Copilot feature is unavailable for you.

If Windows Copilot is not enabled on your PC, then you can force enable it using a simple trick.
