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 sidebar shortcut that I've created. Why?? Actually, the last version of Edge was greatly working and didn't have any problems. I could completely work with Copilot, even in PDF files; but not anymore. Well, what should I do??:expressionless_face::loudly_crying_face:
Thanks for your support.

Some bug must've happened. I've lost it previously on Dev version and then on the Stable.
But if you've got it on Canary, they must've fixed it now and it'll be back in the next Stable (official) update.

@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.

@viper_client No, didn't work for me. I tried VeePN and it was not helpful for my issue.

@NouriehFerdosian
The situation is similar. I can only attach a link to the Copilot settings. Unfortunately, I can't activate it. Although, the blue color indicates that it is enabled.

One possible reason is your group polices disabling the sidebar and apps, check this if it helps:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-sidebar
But I guess it's most likely a region block thing. I'm in mainland China. I noticed it'd show if you installed a new/beta version but then it'd disappear.
I tried to proxy all my network traffic thru the VPN to Los Angeles. I changed the region, ,time zone , language in the Windows 10 settings but it didn't work either.
Somehow both Bing and Google still managed to locate my IP in China( those "where's my ip" webs can be easily fooled tho) , even if I started a clean guest profile.
It's probably the ISP giving away my real IP. Or my VPN just didn't work like I expected.
But, think about it, missing icon means we can't use Bing summarizer for webpages and PDFs. We can still use it in the official chat page.
So maybe we could move on, use some GPT based extensions for that purpose.

Look at my window. copilot settings are completely disabled for me (even with VPN on). I can't even access the copilot shortcut I made in the sidebar! You can see its icon, but it does not enter "chat with bing" and only browses on the web. I am completely disappointed with Microsoft Edge, because it was better than other browsers only because of the Copilot, and there's no Copilot anymore!!!

It's terrible on Mac OS.
I just tested on mainstream and Canary version Edge. In the mainstream version if you click the icon on the sidebar and close it. You never have a chance to open it back. Except you access the 'hiding' menu via edge://settings/sidebar/appSettings?hubApp=cd4688a9-e888-48ea-ad81-76193d56b1be.
In the Canary version, you can find the sidebar options under the Copilot switch from Settings. But is greyed and can be set. Include VERY IMPORTANT setting: Allow Edge access to the page content. We need it to answer questions from web pages or PDF files...
The only reason to switch Chrome to Edge is GONE....

@Hao Hu be patient and try reinstalling the current versions you have or install other versions like dev and beta. i was using beta for a while and i had the same problem, after resetting my pc fpr some reason, i was like: "lets try canary this time" and guess what... ITS BACK, i can use it without any restrictions
