Let me think about it. I'll say it.
Microsoft may be re-orienting Copilot on Windows 11, with a recent update in the Insider Program suggesting that the app is returning to a more web-based or hybrid structure, after previously trying to evolve it into a fully native app.
.
Testing revealed that the new version of Copilot clearly relies on Edge and WebView. In the Task Manager, processes like Renderer, GPU Process, Network Service, and PWA Identity Proxy Host, which are similar to common web apps. The app itself is not native, but rather a web implementation within the Windows shell.
.
While this approach looks at Microsoft's original direction of trying to push Copilot into the native UI, it has development advantages, such as being able to update features quickly, adjust to web services easily, and allowing the app itself to activate faster from actual testing.
.
But a small number of users saw Windows 11 as having too many web wrapper apps, which could hurt the overall experience and make the operating system's image not as native as it should be.
.
There is currently no confirmation on whether Microsoft will permanently cancel native Copilot, but the latest direction raises important questions about whether future Copilot will be a real Windows app or just a web service wrapped in app form.
.
Microsoft has also delayed the automatic installation plan of Microsoft 365 Copilot after being criticized for forced installation by users, stating that it is reviewing the new guidelines, although already installed machines are not affected and can still be uninstalled.
