On my W11 Home (25H2), if I open MSEdge, there is a CoPilot icon right-most
on the top line. That is what I would use for CoPilot "Chat".

My Task Bar also has a CoPilot icon, but that icon "doesn't know who I am".
That would be an example of a path with a login requirement. At first, it
made a fuss of installing itself, but now it sits there quietly.
I think there was an MSOFFice365 CoPilot6 that made a fuss of
installing itself, and I hunted that down and removed it (since
M365 isn't rented/used on the machine and who wants a grumpy AI
with nothing to play with).

Yet, the MSEdge and its top-right-most icon, it knows my username, which
implies that perhaps my usage of a PIN at startup time, counts as
a login, and that's why I am not being pestered there. No policy change
has occurred there recently.

I don't fool with any other CoPilot portals, because if I were to do
that, there would undoubtedly be some "side effect" I would later
regret having triggered.
