- Windows 11’s Copilot -App has a new feature in testing
- It gives the opportunity to ‘automatically start on login’ to the app
- This can be a convenient time saving for those who regularly use copilot
Windows 11 has an incoming change for the Copilot app, allowing it to be set to automatically load in the background when you start your PC.
Phantomofearth, which regularly posts bits and pieces of Windows-related observations and rumors of X, noticed the development.

As shown in the above post, there is a new ‘Auto Start on Login’ selection in the COPILOT appening settings, as when activated does just that – it automatically starts copilot (in the background) when your system is fired up.
Right now, the option is still in testing (in version 1,25014.121.0 in the app), but to give there is no pushback or trouble, it should go live for all Windows 11 users within long.
Analysis: The stumblest journey from the copilotist
You may be thinking ‘who is caring’ when it comes to this extra feature for copilot, and that is a fair enough point. I can’t imagine using the Copilot app is so widespread and in fact I would be surprised if it wasn’t a niche feature in Windows 11 – but for the people using AI, this is still a practical little extra touch .
What this means is that they can invoke the Copilot app with the Alt+Space Keyboard -Heave Road (assuming it is also activated), without having to wait for it to load the first time this action is taken in a new computer session. (Because it will already have loaded already in the background).
The good news is that by default the setting is not on, so that copilot is not pushed sharply into the background of the Everybody’s Windows 11 installation. You can either use this option or just feel free to ignore it.
All in all, it is a relatively minor change, and as with everything to do with Copilot, I wait for Microsoft to justify its existence in a more compelling way. There were some great promises of an AI that could make sweeping system -covering changes based on simple requests left at the launch of the copilotist on the desk. However, everything that seems to have been, well, is swept under the blanket as time passed by, and copilot was disconnected from the interiors of Windows and made an independent app.
Maybe Copilot will be realized in this form in the end, but I can’t help but believe that this destination feels a long, long, far away, considering how things have come – or rather – with the desktop assistant so far.
