    There is currently no documented consumer setting to restore the previous Copilot interface or response model in the Windows, Edge, or Android apps; the practical option is to submit a specific rollback request through each client’s official feedback channel.^1^

    Submit the request from Windows

    1. Press Windows key + F to open Feedback Hub.
    2. Search for an existing request about restoring the previous Copilot interface.
    3. If a matching request exists, upvote it.
    4. Otherwise, select Suggest a feature and submit a new request. Feedback Hub supports both searching/upvoting existing feedback and creating a new item.^2^

    Suggested wording:

    Restore the previous Copilot interface and response experience
    Please provide an option to use the former Copilot layout in the Windows and Android apps and Microsoft Edge. The current interface makes [name the affected task] harder because [specific difference]. The previous responses were better because [one reproducible example]. Please add a user-selectable “classic” experience or restore these capabilities.

    Include screenshots and concrete before/after examples where possible.

    Report response-quality problems

    For an individual poor response, select thumbs-down beneath it and describe:

    • What was incorrect or less useful.
    • What response style you expected.
    • The prompt that reproduced the problem.
    • Whether the same problem occurs in Windows, Edge, and Android.

    Microsoft uses this feedback to improve product quality and prioritize feature requests. With work or school accounts, an administrator can disable some feedback options.^3^

    Submit feedback from Android Edge

    In Microsoft Edge for Android, tap … → Send feedback, then describe the layout change and attach screenshots. This is the documented feedback path for Edge mobile.^4^

    Check that you are comparing the same account experience

    Copilot’s available experience is shaped by whether it is signed in with a Personal or Work account. Check the label beside the profile in Copilot’s navigation pane and compare using the same account previously used.^5^

    Changing accounts may explain differences in available features, but it does not provide a switch back to the former interface.

    Do not downgrade Edge as a consumer workaround

    Microsoft documents Edge browser rollback as an enterprise troubleshooting safety net, not as a normal way to restore an older Copilot design. It is temporary, can expose the device to known security issues, and carries a risk of browsing-data loss.^6^ It also would not guarantee restoration of the old Copilot response behavior, which may be delivered independently of the browser version.
