The feature comes disabled by default, meaning you must turn it on manually to use it, and in this guide, I&#8217;ll explain the steps to manage this feature.<\/p>\n<p>If the wake word is enabled on Copilot version 1.25051.10.0 and higher, you can start a conversation with the chatbot, but only if the computer is unlocked. You will also notice that the microphone icon will appear in the System Tray, and this is because, while the feature is turned on, Copilot will always be listening on the computer, even if you&#8217;re not interacting with it.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s important to note that any conversation you have with the chatbot will be processed in the cloud. According to the company, the only exception is when not interacting with the chatbot. In this case, Copilot will listen, but no data will be sent to the cloud until it recognizes that you invoked the Hey Copilot command.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I&#8217;ll explain the steps to manage the Copilot wake command on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#enable_heycopilot_windows11\">Enable Hey Copilot voice command on Windows 11<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#disable_heycopilot_windows11\">Disable Hey Copilot voice command on Windows 11<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Enable Hey Copilot voice command on Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>To enable the Hey Copilot command on Windows 11, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open the <strong>Copilot<\/strong> app.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Open sidebar<\/strong> button in the top-left corner.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Profile<\/strong> button in the bottom-left corner.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Select the <strong>Settings<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Turn <strong>on<\/strong> the <strong>&#8220;Listen for &#8216;Hey, Copilot&#8217; to start a conversation&#8221;<\/strong> toggle switch to enable the feature.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/enable-hey-copilot-windows-11.webp?resize=827%2C708&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Enable Hey Copilot on Windows 11\" width=\"827\" height=\"708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/enable-hey-copilot-windows-11.webp?w=854&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 854w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/enable-hey-copilot-windows-11.webp?resize=300%2C257&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/enable-hey-copilot-windows-11.webp?resize=671%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 671w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/enable-hey-copilot-windows-11.webp?resize=150%2C128&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you complete the steps, you can invoke Copilot using the <strong>&#8220;Hey, Copilot&#8221;<\/strong> voice command, similar to the feature previously available with Cortana for Windows 10.
