Microsoft has been on the receiving end of user feedback

A lot of people felt Copilot was cluttering up their screens and workflows, especially since it even got its own keyboard key.
Microsoft listened to months of feedback and decided it is time for a less pushy experience.

Other changes coming to Windows 11

These changes will roll out first to Insiders in March and April through an improved feedback program focused on smoother performance.
