IT Home reported on October 28 that tech outlet NeoWin published a post yesterday (October 27) saying that several Microsoft Edge users have reported recently being unable to open Copilot in the sidebar normally.
Citing the post, IT Home said that when users try to click Copilot, the page displays the message, “Your Copilot is moving to a new experience,” and says the migration may take a few days. Until it is complete, users can only use the web version of Copilot instead. Several users have reported similar experiences, but Microsoft has yet to issue a public statement or provide a specific timetable for completing the migration.
NeoWin speculated that the issue may be related to Microsoft’s efforts to unify its Copilot services. In recent years, Microsoft has continued to integrate Copilot deeply into products including Edge, Windows, and Microsoft 365, aiming to make the AI assistant a unified point of access across devices and scenarios.
For ordinary users who find that Copilot in the sidebar is unavailable, restarting the Edge browser is a first step. If the migration message still appears, they are advised to use the web version at copilot.com for the time being and wait for Microsoft to complete the migration.
