Microsoft lets users exile floating Copilot button after interface rage
Microsoft has added an option to move the floating Copilot Dynamic Action Button to the ribbon toolbar after widespread user complaints about it obscuring content in productivity applications. The change, rolling out this week, allows users to toggle the assistant's visibility and represents Microsoft's response to feedback about forcing Copilot on users. Windows leadership has also promised a broader reduction in Copilot entry points across the operating system.
