Microsoft Edge Copilot Temporarily Disabled

Microsoft Edge users are experiencing temporary disruptions with the browser's built-in Copilot AI tool. A migration to a new Copilot experience is currently disabling the feature within the Edge Sidebar for some individuals.

Users encountering this issue are presented with a message indicating that Copilot is unavailable during this transition. The notification suggests that the process may take a few days and might require restarting the Edge browser. It reassures users that their chat history and settings will be accessible once the migration is complete.

While Microsoft has not detailed the specifics of this 'new experience,' it is likely part of a broader initiative to unify Copilot across various platforms. The current approach of disabling the feature rather than maintaining background access is noted as a point of frustration for users who rely on the Edge Sidebar's integration.
