With changes to Copilot, can it be made a floating window, instead of permanently walling off part of one of the monitors? My main monitor is a 43" 4K screen. I don't run anything full screen, so Copilot automatically disqualifies itself as an option for me by taking over part of my monitor. Even Widgets aren't that bad, because they slide out when in use and then disappear when not in use.

This is bizarre by MS, because I would happily and eagerly use Copilot, if I could just open it in a window. But I will not run in in a permanent window that controls part of the monitor and won't share screen space with any other windows.

I'm curious to know how this new energy saver function makes the system behaves when playing games, if there is a big fps decrease and if the "background activities" actually makes the system lighter instead of it off.
