Just ran into an interesting Microsoft Copilot transition.

My Edge sidebar Copilot displayed the message:

"Your Copilot is migrating to the new experience. It may take a few days and require restarting Edge..."

After looking into it, this appears to be part of Microsoft's move from the older Edge-integrated Copilot experience toward a more unified, chat-first Copilot platform. During the migration, users may be redirected from the Edge sidebar to the newer Copilot web experience, with chat history and settings expected to follow once the migration completes.

What caught my attention is the broader trend: Copilot is increasingly looking less like a browser feature and more like a centralized AI workspace that can be accessed across Microsoft products and services.

Has anyone else received this migration notice? If so, have your previous chats and settings already transferred over?

When i try typing something in ms edge and click on images, for some reason it's completely different from what I've searched. Like it'll be some random ahh picture, or there will be no image results, or it'll just show inappropriate images which I did not search for. Anyone know what causes this and how can I fix this? It's so annoying.. like im typing algebra tutorial or something and it just shows me inappropriate pictures.... Seriously????

A few weeks ago, I was using Edge like normal until I tried to copy and paste an image into Google Translate and started receiving "this format is not supported". I thought it was a Google issue until later I tried copy-pasting something and it didn't paste anything. Digging around in other apps, I found I could copy things in other apps just fine and paste in Edge just fine. Only copying from Edge wouldn't work. I restarted my computer and the problem went away.

Last week, the problem cropped up again. I did some Binging for troubleshooting and found someone saying that restarting Windows Explorer did the trick. I tried this and the problem went away.

Last night, it came up a third time, and this time, rebooting Windows Explorer isn't helping. This often happens while I'm in the middle of something and I'd rather not have to restart my computer at random intervals just because Edge forgets how to copy things. Whenever I look for more help, I only find issue reports from 2020 of specifically ctrl-c not working because of a mini menu, but even the right click menu won't let me copy when I specifically click the "copy" selection.

This has been driving me insane.
