You'll have the icon on your taskbar if it is. You can also hit Meta+J to check
I think that's just regular Copilot (without the plus). This is a newer version, at least that's what this quote from the article leads me to believe:
The regular Copilot (without the plus) that sits in the taskbar was rolled out in an update about a month or two ago.
Also, this part of the article gives a method to check if it's running:
Unfortunately there are at least two AppData folders (three to be exact, but one of them is rarely used), and it doesn't specify whether it's
%APPDATA%or%LOCALAPPDATA%, but I just checked on my Windows machine (Win11 with all updates installed, including Copilot), and I can find no such folder in either of these paths.EDIT: the video in this toot clearly shows the location of the database folder, and it's in
%LOCALAPPDATA%, which makes sense given that it's stuff that's not supposed to leave your device.EDIT2: this tweet seems to confirm that this is indeed a feature that's only shipped on certain new devices, which need to be specially certified because Copilot+ requires hardware support.
