It appears to be the same issue as Microsoft Community suggested question. I don't think an official solution has been released yet. It appears briefly and immediately shuts down. If you restart as it is closing down sometimes it may work.

Copilot quit working from taskbar. It used to work great until today. I click the icon and in Task Manager I can see it opens briefly but closes down immediately. So I restarted windows 11 and the same behaviour remains. So I searched Google and went to settings and selected Repair. No help. So then I remembered that I saw Copilot in Edge. So I opened Edge and it works. But the app on my computer is broken. I went to the store and there is not an update but none the less I updated all apps. Do you know what is wrong. I didn't want to select Reset because it says it deletes all my data. Currently there aren't any updates. It says I am up to date in system. I am on v 24H2 OS Build 26120.4520
