Microsoft is changing up how Copilot works on Windows yet again. After demoting Copilot to a Progressive Web App (PWA) earlier this year, Microsoft is now rolling out an update to Windows testers that replaces the PWA version of Copilot with a “native” experience that includes a new keyboard shortcut and quick view UI.

Microsoft continues to tweak the Copilot app on Windows, hopefully that means more innovations are due in 2025.

The new Copilot app (version 1.24112.123.0) sits on the Windows system tray when opened and can be triggered using the new Alt + Space keyboard shortcut.

A new native version of the Copilot for Windows app is heading out to all Insider channels with a few new features.

Microsoft has announced a new Copilot app for Windows that it's calling "native" to Windows. However, the new native app still just displays the Copilot website. It does have a new quick view mode, which just displays the Copilot website in a smaller window frame than normal.
