Copilot Reappears as Windows 11 Sidebar, Dockable on Either Side

Microsoft is reintroducing Copilot as a dockable Windows 11 sidebar (left or right) that expands the desktop when attached. The feature returns to Microsoft's original desktop-integrated design, and admins can remove Copilot via two methods: a registry edit (set RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp to 1 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsAI) or a Group Policy setting (User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows AI > Remove Microsoft Copilot App).

Copilot Docks to Windows 11 Edge, Resizing Your Desktop Layout

Microsoft is rolling out a new Copilot docking feature for Windows 11 that lets Copilot snap to the left or right edge (or stay on top as a small window), causing your open apps to resize and reflow around the AI pane. This returns Copilot to the original idea of living alongside your apps rather than as a separate window, following several redesigns, and is being rolled out gradually. The docked Copilot is accessed via a title-bar menu and may be backed by an Edge-based wrapper, with Windows Latest noting the new snapping as a distinct option from the native Snap Layouts.

Microsoft lets Office users disable Copilot button, moves it to the ribbon

Microsoft will roll out Office app updates next week that let users disable a floating Copilot button in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and move it back to the ribbon by right‑clicking the Dynamic Action Button, addressing Excel users’ complaints that it obstructs cells; the move follows Microsoft’s earlier removal of other Copilot buttons in Windows 11 apps.

Nadella's AI-First Overhaul Shrinks Microsoft's Inner Circle

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is dismantling the traditional senior leadership team to build a leaner, startup-style inner circle focused on the AI era, creating a new corporate leadership group and a separate Copilot leadership team, while centralizing weekly AI metrics reviews. The overhaul includes promotions and shifts like Arun Ulag expanding his role, and exits or reassignments for Mehdi, Jha, Suleyman, Bell, and others; Asha Sharma is named CEO of Microsoft Gaming as Nadella signals openness to outsiders. The goal is to accelerate AI initiatives and keep pace with faster, more agile rivals.

Copilot+ AI Comes with 8GB RAM? Surface Laptop for Business 13" Priced at $1,299

Copilot+ AI Comes with 8GB RAM? Surface Laptop for Business 13" Priced at $1,299

Microsoft unveiled a Surface Laptop for Business 13-inch variant with 8GB RAM priced at $1,299, marketed as a Copilot+ PC, despite Microsoft's own 16GB minimum RAM guidance for Copilot+ and ongoing AI ambitions. The piece argues this pairing of premium design and low RAM is misaligned with enterprise needs, especially given Windows 11’s memory footprint and the 50 TOPS NPU, and contrasts it with Apple’s $599 MacBook Neo to suggest a flawed pricing/RAM strategy for Surface. It calls for a RAM-rich or more affordable entry-level option to uphold Surface’s reliability and enterprise value.

Floating Copilot in Excel Sparks Backlash as Hide Option Remains Elusive

Excel users are upset about Microsoft's unremovable floating Copilot button that disrupts data, with no built-in way to hide it. A workaround exists to dock the button to the side, but it remains intrusive and can block the scrollbar. Users are calling for a toggle to hide or move Copilot back to the ribbon, and the piece notes Microsoft’s ongoing AI push across Windows/Office while awaiting a user-control solution, which has not been announced yet.

Microsoft to let Windows 11 Copilot key be remapped back to Right Ctrl or Context Menu later this year

Microsoft says Windows 11’s dedicated Copilot key disrupted some workflows, and it will ship an update later this year that adds a system-wide setting to remap the Copilot key to either the Right Ctrl key or the Context Menu key across all Copilot-key PCs; users can change this in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Keyboard, with prior OEM remapping options becoming universal this update.

Ex-Microsoft VP: AI push missed the wave as Copilot falters and OpenAI reshapes enterprise AI

A former Microsoft executive, Mat Velloso, says Microsoft missed the AI wave as Copilot struggles to gain traction—less than 3% of paying Office 365 users (about 15 million of 450 million) have Copilot, despite integration into Windows 11 and Office; OpenAI is building its own enterprise deployment with DeployCo backed by $4B, threatening Microsoft’s enterprise services moat; NPUs in laptops failed to drive adoption, GitHub SLA declined, and leadership departures signal a needed “factory reset” to refocus on platform fundamentals, though Microsoft retains a strong enterprise footprint.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Flaws Lead to Data Exposure, Cloud Fix Deployed

Microsoft disclosed and fully mitigated three critical cloud-side information-disclosure vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat in Edge (CVE-2026-26129, CVE-2026-26164, CVE-2026-33111). The flaws—rooted in improper handling of special elements and command injection—could allow leakage of sensitive enterprise data over the network. Mitigations are deployed at the service level; no patches or admin actions are required. Security teams should review Copilot data access permissions and enforce least-privilege to reduce exposure from future flaws.
