Updated on April 3, 2025: The new version of Microsoft Copilot is now rolling out to all Windows users. It’s available for Windows 10 and Windows 11 and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store. Previously, it was only available to Windows Insiders via preview builds, but now everyone can start using the new features.
Original story from March 5, 2025: Microsoft has once again made changes to Copilot, with the new version now being delivered to Windows 11 Insiders. The redesign is meant to rethink the experience from the ground up, and that means Copilot is now a native app that’s directly integrated into the operating system.
According to Windows Latest, initial testers say the new Copilot Windows 11 app works even better than the ChatGPT desktop app. This is mainly due to the fact that Copilot works and responds with almost no delays and requires much less memory.
What is the new Copilot app?
Microsoft has redeveloped the Copilot app from scratch, utilizing Windows technologies like XAML and WinUI. The app is integrated directly into Windows 11, making it even easier to use. (Previously, it was hidden in the sidebar or could only be used as a web app.)
With native integration, Copilot now has its own controls, a taskbar icon, and a picture-in-picture mode. The Copilot app can also generate answers much faster while only using 50 to 100 MB of RAM on average.
With the new sidebar, you can quickly start a new conversation with the AI chatbot and immediately get answers from the app.
Better integration with Windows 11
Thanks to native Windows 11 integration, Copilot should now better understand your system and be able to provide more useful answers and solutions. Depending on which components and apps you have, Copilot can generate more personalized responses and tips.
As of this writing, Copilot can’t yet control Windows 11 itself, but that feature may be implemented in a future version. For now, the new Copilot desktop app makes a far better impression than it did before.
How to get the new Copilot app
Microsoft’s Copilot app is currently being rolled out via Windows 11 Insider across all channels. For reference, the new Copilot app has version number 1.25023.101.0.
If you’re a Windows 11 Insider, you should receive the new Copilot app later this week if you haven’t already gotten it. We don’t yet know when all other Windows 11 users will get native Copilot.
