New Copilot for Windows 11 includes a full Microsoft Edge package, uses more RAM (windowslatest.com) AI

A new Copilot update for Windows 11 replaces the native app with a web-based “hybrid” version that ships with its own bundled Microsoft Edge/Chromium components. The installer is distributed via the Microsoft Store, but it downloads an installer rather than the full app directly. In tests, the updated Copilot uses significantly more memory—up to around 500MB in the background and about 1GB during use.
