Can't see Copilot icon anymore!
Hey everyone. Today, after updating Microsoft Edge in my Windows 11, I can't see Copilot icon on top right of the window anymore (even in Edge Dev and Edge Can). Also, I can't access Bing Chat over ...
Seems like in the new update, Microsoft decided to restrict edge copilot access in some regions based on your IP address so if you cant use the copilot at all, consider using a vpn and restarting Microsoft edge. Same happened to me after the recent update and just noticed that in edge startup process, it will analyze your IP to check if your region is in the copilot blacklist, so changing your IP will simply solve the problem... at least it works for me
- Update - My copilot is back and i can use it without any vpn... Seems like there was a recent update which made some changes to bing AI usage restrictions or its actually a bug that may be fixed automatically whenever it wants, or maybe nothing happened and im just lucky?
viper_client No, didn't work for me. I tried VeePN and it was not helpful for my issue.
- use a better VPN, afaik VeePN is not that good, after you got connected to the vpn, open edge and wait in there for like 30 seconds so edge can process your new ip, then close the edge and open it again for like 2 times, then you should see the copilot. if you tried all of these and it didn't work, probably its a bug on your side
- Can you reccomend a solid free VPN just for that?
dimitrus unfortunately WARP/WARP+ cant bypass that restriction although my first recommendation was using this service but maybe some free VPNs like Windscribe, Proton, HS can bypass it. Im using a paid vpn tho i cant say which one works the best.
