Hello Mr. nameIess, welcome to the Microsoft Community!

Thank you for your feedback and let me give you some explanations about the “copilot” issue you are experiencing.

Currently the button is set to go to the web page.

This is true for all computers, including the ones we use today.

I know this is causing you a lot of inconvenience.

You can try clicking on the windows key + F to send a message about the problem.

This feedback will be sent to Microsoft's development department, as I'm only a support person and therefore cannot improve the problem.

After you send your feedback, they will periodically review user issues and optimize them

If you want to get the copilot of the program, you can find it or download it from the Microsoft Store and put a shortcut to the program in the taskbar.

or fix it in the start menu.

We hope you find the above information helpful
