Windows Copilot
Hello, how do I install ViveTool to use Windows Copilot? Build Version: Windows 11 Insider Preview 23493.1000 (ni_prerelease)

Build 23493 already comes with Windows Copilot pre-installed, so you don't need to use third-party tool to get Copilot feature.

No malice intended but it's not much of a reply given how buggy Windows OS whatever version always turns out to be. Surely, you don't think it's as cut and dry as your answer makes it. It's one of those circle the wagons kind of answers apologists for Microsoft give. Sad if it wasn't sadder. Having said that I also had to use the ViveTool to get Copilot to work. Even stupid Bing AI didn't have a solution, and sadly Copilot is another instantiation of Bing AI, by far the worse LLM I've used, and I've tried many.
A more nuanced answer and one that would've been true would go something like:
"Build 23493 already comes with Windows Copilot pre-installed, so you shouldn't need to use a third-party tool to get the Copilot feature but as we all know operating systems don't always work as they should, and an Insider Preview build is even more unpredictable so no surprise that a third-party tool might be the solution." And then either explain why the vivetool didn't work either, or admit you know nothing about it having never used it.
The solution as to how to get it ViveTool to work I'll post on a reply directly to Regular_User1025.
